Episode 177 – You Asked For It
Game Store Prophets
05/08/18 • 79 min
Sometimes things happen when you are trying to coordinate podcasts hosts with jobs, families, and responsibilities across three different states. Sometimes that means that it’s the day before an episode is supposed to release, and yet there hasn’t been a single time when any two of the hosts have been available at the same time. That’s when you take to the internet and ask for some questions you can talk about for the better part of an hour.
Remember – if it’s not great, you asked for it.
Episode 176 – Our New Robot Overlords
Game Store Prophets
04/24/18 • 62 min
Technological advances are everywhere – and that includes our board games. Whether it’s the increase in digital implementations of the board games we love getting to our tables or video games that take the mechanics and form of board games and do unique things with them – apps, VR, and other technological wonders are changing the way we view our tabletop gaming.
So what does this have to do with faith? How about making sure that more people than ever are able to stay connected with local bodies of believers or hearing sermons when they are sick, infirmed, or otherwise unable to physically be there.
Episode 175 – “Objectively” Bad
Game Store Prophets
04/10/18 • 63 min
What makes a game objectively bad? It was the question that was asked of the internet from the folks at Board Game Blitz on their twitter feed. Naturally, we were curious about that concept too – but not specifically because we wanted to know the answer as much as we were observing how subjective all the answers were.
In this episode, we may not have had a lot of time to play (due to increases in job requirements and snow) – but I talk about playing Tides of Time with my wife. We talk about Fireball Island – both in its classic form and new, fresh, Restoration Games flavors – and ask how much is this nostalgia-soaked gimmick and how much just fun, silly gameplay?
And then we move into the main topic... how easy it is to think that your opinion on a given topic must be objectively correct simply because it’s the one you hold to. In board games, in life, and most especially in faith – this is a dangerous proposition if left unchecked.
P.S. – You really should check out Flip the Table’s back catalog – especially Gone Birding. And I checked – it’s Flip Florey’s Super Saturday Board Game Serial. Worth a listen.
Episode 174 – How Do You Do, Fellow Kids!
Game Store Prophets
03/26/18 • 65 min
We got a chance to send a team out to Gary Con X this year to help them bring back their board game library after it had disappeared from the event for a while. In this episode, we have Shawn and Daniel on, who lead the team, to talk about the experience of playing games with some legends in the gaming world, as well as talk about Shawn’s new endeavor to see his local team of volunteers adopt a local game store.
As we talk about this desire to build connections in these local stores, we got to talking about the nature of intentional relationship building as a methodology for sharing the gospel with folks.
Specifically how the sole purpose of the relationship can’t be to get them to that moment of faith. Because that’s not an actual relationship. That’s somebody trying to play at having a real relationship to get what they want out of somebody. And that never goes well.
Episode 157 – Obnoxiously Prideful
Game Store Prophets
07/17/17 • 61 min
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.

Episode 141 – It’s Your Fault (Top 10s of 2016)
Game Store Prophets
12/05/16 • 84 min
At the end of 2015, I was asked to create a series of videos where I described my favorite games in my collection. As 2016 came to a close, I asked the folks in The Tavern if they wanted me to do a similar list for this year as well, and how they’d want me to go about that if I did. The Regulars community spoke – and they said they wanted a special episode of GSP where all three of your hosts shared their top 10 favorites. And we delivered just that.
Here’s the list. Listen to the full episode for our explanations of how and why we ranked them this way.
Episode 138 – We Stand With Wundergeek
Game Store Prophets
10/24/16 • 70 min
In a stunning turn of events, we actually have all three of your hosts on for this episode of the podcast. There was neither technical nor biological hazard getting in the way as we talk about various fantasy sportsball games (Blood Bowl and Guild Ball), talk about an interesting experiment in doing church differently, and then have some things to say about an issue that came across our twitter feeds that made us get eighteen kinds of furious.
It’s one thing to push a boundary and encouraging people to ‘get over themselves’ – but when there are people being actively harassed and pushed out of the gaming community just for saying that their representation in the hobby is pigeonholed and even slightly sexist, there’s something horribly wrong with that. You may have seen your hosts put it out on twitter already, but in case you didn’t – GSP stands with Wundergeek and everyone out there trying to make our games better and more available to everybody.

Episode 136 – The Dignity of Listening to Their Stories
Game Store Prophets
09/26/16 • 81 min
This episode almost didn’t happen. A technical issue totally friend the audio for one of your hosts, causing the entirety of the initial recording we did for this episode to go into the trash. What was the worst part was that this wasn’t discovered until right before editing and posting the podcast on schedule. In spite of all this, we were able to get something recorded and present a special guest appearance on the podcast.
We asked Jeffrey Allers about the ministry he has in Berlin, Germany, where, among other things, he is ministering to the Syrian refugees in his city. After a brief update on games I’ve been playing and what’s going on in the news, this episode is focused on hearing how games provide dignity and minister to those who are refugees.

The Glass Dagger S01 E01 – Smuggler’s Blues
It’s tough to eek out living in the City of Splendors. Harder still for Linkah Four-fingers as his band of thieves line up to betray him. Those he thought were friends and associates-in-good-standing have started serving other interests without so much as a by your leave. Such things are starting to diminish Linkah’s normally cheerful disposition.
So what’s a halfling to do? If he wants to stay on the good side of the Boss, he’ll have to rely on outside resources to get to the bottom of his personnel problems.
The Glass Dagger is an audio only, D&D Actual Play set in the City of Splendors – Waterdeep. Join us biweekly on your favoured podcast catcher!
