Finding Wisdom and Rolling With It

Tonight, Jeff and Daniel discuss the disco inferno that was the recent Roll20 mess and how a few badly placed words and the proclivity to not listen can lead down hazardous paths. This all to say that life of late has been rough, but out of the shouting and the bombardment, true wisdom and perspective can be found.

Future Mike would also like you to know that you can find out more about the InnRoads Ministries trip to PAX Unplugged HERE.

Gaming with our Elders

Daniel, T.R. and Jeff discuss games and how they relate with our elder relations. Can a game of Rummy with our grandparents bring just as much joy as a session of Scythe?  Can we honor our mother and father by sharing an evening of monopoly?

Don’t Want to Close My Eyes…

Daniel, T.R. and Jeff uncover the hidden meanings in FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out. Are we as gamers destined to dwell in that sinking feeling every time we miss game night?  Is it our lot in life to look away from contentment to the neighbor’s greener grass?

Looking Back To Look Forward

Daniel and Jeff discuss the ups and downs of new edition. Not so much the 80s R&B group but the new editions of the old things we’ve come to know and love. How do we as a culture handle these changes, especially in light of how we’re called to be new creations in our faith?

Episode 156 – The Episode That Almost Wasn’t

Between your hosts either getting knock-out sick or being scheduled to the hilt, we had to come up with an alternate plan for this newest episode of Game Store Prophets. So while I do tell you about the games I’ve been playing – namely Guild Ball and a solo RPG called Quill – this episode is dedicated to answering questions sent in by the community.

If you want to see episodes like this in the future with a bit more planning that includes all three of the hosts – be sure to leave us a comment and let us know. I know I had fun doing this one.
