Grant, Peter, and Branden continue their conversation with Ben Rome, author of Games’ Most Wanted and Assistant Line Developer for Battletech over at Catalyst Game Labs. We’re still talking about faith and science fiction! Enjoy!
We told you it was coming – and now it has arrived. Episode 44, the boys sit down with Derek White, aka The Geekpreacher. They talk about gaming, comic books, the impact of these things on faith, and what it … Continue reading → Continue reading
Grant, Peter and Branden are joined by Ben H. Rome, Catalyst Game Labs’s Assistant Line Developer for Battletech and co-author (with FTB’s Chris Hussey) of the forthcoming book Games’ Most Wanted. We talk about the curious lack of religion in science fiction; integrating faith into sci-fi games and stories; how sci-fi tropes might affect Christianity and other faiths; and a whole lot more! This episode was so long we had to split it into two parts; stay tuned for Part 2.
Scripture: Psalm 8; Hebrews 1:10-12
In this episode, the guys talk about what’s new in the geek world, being less than impressed with the PS4 announcement, Luke’s foray into the E.V.E online experience and a trip down memory lane to talk about a W.o.W. guild … Continue reading → Continue reading
Grant, Peter, and Branden continue our Virtues & Vices series with a look at Temperance! We talk over the usual news, and thank those who’ve commented on past episodes (that’s always nice.) Then we dive into our Temperance discussion: How it’s commonly used in Scripture; its prevalence as a virtue in many moral codes; how Christians treat it, and contrast it with Gluttony; and as usual, how to use Temperance in-game and how to promote it out-of-game.
Scripture: Proverbs 25:16; Ecclesiastes 10:16-17; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27;
Naturally we could not let episode 42 go by without making reference to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It simply had to happen. However, in this episode, the guys do not necessarily come up with the answer to the … Continue reading → Continue reading
Grant, Peter, and Branden are back with the next part of our Virtues & Vices series! We start with the final tally for the first RPG Podcasters’ Charity Drive, and a bit of other news. Then we dive into Gluttony—what it is, common misconceptions, why it’s a sin, using it for characterization and plot in your game, and dealing with gluttony at the gaming table.
Scripture: Genesis 25:30-34, Luke 7:31-35, Hebrews 12:14-17
Similar to our nostalgia episode, but more like a flip side of the coin. In this episode, the guys don’t talk about things that were childhood memories that turned out to be truly horrible when viewed as adults, but instead … Continue reading → Continue reading
Peter and Branden cover a variety of minor topics in this episode: Our STG group on Steam; Christian video game sites like GameChurch and Christ Centered Gamer; books we recommend for Christian geeks; Methodist circuit riders; games that Peter and Branden would love to play, but don’t think they’ll ever get to; naming NPCs; and a variety of useful GMing resources.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1,
This one . . . well, this one is odd. There’s a bit of a slow down in the world of geek news, so the boys find themselves at a loss for what to talk about. This leads to a … Continue reading → Continue reading
