Journey with us and hopefully even be inspired in your own life and faith as you see our team strive to overcome challenges.

Special Note:  Players usually attempt to role-play how they believe their character would act in various situations.  We may not always agree with those responses or actions in real life.

This adventure features laughter and fun banter between the players, however, it also depicts battles and overcoming some challenging situations.  So like the Lords of the Rings movies, we recommend this tale be enjoyed by teenagers and older.

To bring our adventure to life we are using the "Adventures in Middle Earth" core books by Cubicle 7, which is based on the 5e ruleset from D&D.  Find out more about those resources here:

Note: This episode contains FULL SPOILERS for the Mandalorian, Season 2

The Mandalorian has taken the Star Wars universe by storm!  What are our thoughts on Season 2, Baby Yoda's real name, and the incredible guest stars that this season introduced?  What were our favorite parts of the season, and is there anything we wished the show had done differently?

In the show, the Mandalorian's life and priorities continue to change as he seeks to care for "the child".  Have you ever encountered something so amazing that made you reevaluate your priorities in life?   And how should we respond when this occurs?

All this and more in our next exciting episode of ShatterCast!

[Topics: Ethics, Priorities; Scripture References: Romans 12:1, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 3:16]

Also, some of our members (John and Derrick) guest-starred on another great podcast called Cinematic Doctrine where we discussed the Mandalorian, Season 2 in even greater depth.

Session Six, Debrief - Through the Realm of Light and Shadow

Our players reflect on their thoughts on Session 6 of our adventure.  During the discussion, a theme of "you only know what you know" continued to arise. 

What did our players discover about navigating challenges when we only have a small amount of knowledge about a situation?  Why is it important to rely on others who might have more knowledge than we have in an area?  And how can we apply this to our everyday life? 

All this and more as we reflect on our current Role-Play adventure!

[Topics: Patience, Appreciation]

ShatterCast is back! 

Last year saw a ton of video game delays as the gaming industry navigated virus restrictions and work from home orders.  Why can video game delays be frustrating for fans?  Are there actually any positives that can come from delaying a video game release? 

In our own lives, we can grow impatient when things we really desire are delayed as well?  However, can these times of delay actually be used to impact us in positive ways?

And what does our panel mean by "The Right Thing at the Wrong Time, Is the Wrong Thing?"  Discover this and more on the next episode of ShatterCast!

Note: This segment was recorded right before the release of WOW: Shadowlands and Cyberpunk 2077.
