In my last blog post, I lamented the heaviness of the GURPS system relative to my own available prep time and went over some of my thought process in finding a new system. This week, having settled on FATE, I’m going to go over some of the specifics of converting […]

I’m on vacation this week, and as such, my routine is a little off. I forgot I had a post to write until Grant jogged my memory, so I apologize that this post is coming a little later than they typically do. -Peter Recording Episode 64: Matching System and Story […]
I haven’t managed to game with other people since I got back from Fear the Con, though not for lack of trying. My regular gaming group has had a “perfect storm” of scheduling conflicts that has gone on for several weeks as various group members deal with the responsibilities, obligations, […]
There isn’t much to say this week except this: Thursday is Fear the Con 8! Both of the current hosts, Grand and Peter, will be there, and we hope to see you there, too!
Listening to the latest bonus episode of Game Store Prophets got me thinking. (Actually, GSP usually gets me thinking, but this time it got me thinking so hard I blogged about it.) Early in the episode, it came up that there are 1.4 billion gamers worldwide. That can mean a […]
This is going to be a short one – this is finals week for me, and while I’ve knocked one down, I still have other on Thursday I’m preparing for. (Two finals for one class! That’s just mean!) In any case, I haven’t had a tremendous amount of time to […]
Just in case the lists we gave you in our last episode weren’t enough for you, here are a few other things I’ve found useful in my gaming: Kingdom of Heaven – I like this movie for its treatment of religion and morality, specifically because it treats religious fervor and […]
“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” -John 13:35 “[Dedicated to] the Booters, who laugh and cry with each other” -from the Dedication to Volume 1 of the Sojourn anthology I first started listening to podcasts sometime back […]
Villains. They may not be the first thing that comes to mind around Easter, but that doesn’t mean the story isn’t rife with them. Plotting villains, treacherous villains, cruelly opportunistic villains, apathetic villains – virtually every form of human evil and moral failing is on display in the last week […]
Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” -Exodus 4:10 “Nobody’s Perfect,” the saying goes, and truer words were never spoken. Even the saints of […]
One of the pieces of media that’s been consistently pushed on my by friends (mostly my co-host Grant and his wife, but also some other people) is the show White Collar. For those unfamiliar with it, the show is built around the concept of a not-so-bad “bad guy” being teamed […]
HOOOOOOONNNNK! Especially dedicated listeners (or those that tuned in for Episode 50’s live recording session) have been exposed to the longest-running inside joke in Saving the Game’s history: Blarey the Podcast Train. I live about a block away from some railroad tracks, and when the freight trains come through, the […]
