Episode 209 – Invite the Children In

Daniel and Mike are back on the air with a new look for Game Store Prophets.

In this episode, they introduce new segments that will help us avoid the pressure to dig into limited gaming ability for topics – as it can sometimes be hard to get to the table as adults, let alone adults with toddlers in the house. They’ll also be talking ABOUT those toddlers as they talk about the concepts of invitation versus expectation when introducing kids to the gaming world and how that looks a lot like introducing them to God. About making it accessible and showing how wonderful you know it to be rather than demanding they already feel the same way you do.

Bonus Content – InnRoads Unplugged 2018

We weren’t able to get the whole team together on the mics, but two-thirds of the InnRoads Unplugged team that went to Philadelphia for PAX Unplugged gathered up some of our favorite parts of the conventions experience for you. This was our first organized team effort at a convention, and only the second PAX Unplugged ever, so we’re excited to see how we can grow up together with this convention.

Even at just under 2 hours, we couldn’t possibly talk about every story we heard, person we saw, or game we played – so we each narrowed it down to one game a piece.

Mike – The Mansky Caper
Jeff – Fantastic Factories
Dave – The Fox in the Forest
Joe – Just One
