Episode 178 – Remember Thou Art Mortal

It’s easy to get caught up in doing good and putting out all your efforts towards acts of ministry – but every once in a while it’s important to remember that you aren’t a machine. That sometimes you just need to step away and do something not tied to ministry, not tied to a goal, or not even tied to much of anything other than the sheer joys of playing.

In this episode we talk about Daniel’s ‘Boy Scouts RPG’ multi-game session coming up, as well as Rising Sun, Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn, and Alien Artifacts.

At one point in the episode, I mention listening to the Failed Missionary podcast. If you are interested in what’s going on over there, you can find them here.

In this episode – we take obnoxious scheduling difficulties and make lemonade with them. That’s how this works right? This is a solo-mike episode where I spend some time talking about my whirlwind tour of PAX Unplugged, the people I saw, the people I didn’t see, and all the stuff that made the experience worth doing.

The short version – we’ve already started talking and making plans for next year. I’m coming back and InnRoads is coming with me!

Episode 157 – Obnoxiously Prideful

In this episode – Daniel and I start off talking about the games we’ve been playing. This time it includes Daniel sharing stories about playing Carcassonne with his kids. And then I talk briefly about Guild Ball with Daniel, since he wasn’t here last time, before I talk about continuing voyages of our SeaFall game and Pit Crew.

We then move to talking about how it is our penchant to believe that we know everything there could possibly be to know on a subject with only cursory understanding of what we’re looking at. Whether it’s board games or theology – maybe we need to remember that we are not without fault.

HERE is the blog post from Ignacy reacting to folks passing judgment on games they’ve only played once.
