Peter and Jenny have the mics to themselves this episode, and they’re talking about one of the funniest and most imaginative books of the Bible: Jonah! First, though, we take a moment to mention the unfortunate and early passing of Rachel Held Evans, a Christian writer and thinker we’re all […]

Ryan Felton, GM and producer of City On A Hill Gaming, joins Grant, Jenny, and Peter to discuss creating actual play content! We’ve mentioned City On A Hill plenty lately, since Ryan was kind enough to invite the three of us on his show as players (and performers, as we’ll […]
It’s our one hundred fiftieth episode, and we are excited! We’ve got a lot of people to thank, of course, and spend a couple minutes at the top of the show doing that. We’ve also got a touch of podcast business, and a mention of a recent episode of the […]
Rev. Derek “The GeekPreacher” White joins us once again, and this time it’s even more special than usual. This episode is a sort of test case for a new thing we might be doing with Derek more regularly—having Derek on to talk about specific theological topics from a geek perspective! […]
We’re back with the second half of our unofficial two-parter on angels! (And yes, you can catch up with our first half here.) This time around, we’re discussing how to make angels interesting in your games. First, though, we’ve got some business to catch up on, including GaryCon 2019 (which […]
It’s time for our Patreon-selected topic for the quarter, and this one’s so big it’ll take up two episodes! Our topic this week is angels, and with so much material to work with we just had to break this topic up. This episode has relatively little pure gaming content, because […]
Well, it was inevitable, folks: When we committed to doing a series on The Ten Commandments, we knew we’d eventually have to talk about adultery. Fair warning: This episode does talk about sex. We’re not explicit or anything, but keep that in mind! First, though, we’ve got a few other […]
We’re tackling a difficult and complex topic in this episode: How to roleplay characters with mental illnesses with sensitivity and grace. First, though, we’ve got a bit of other business to talk about, starting with our forthcoming appearances on City on a Hill Gaming (including Jenny’s very cool special episode, […]
We’ve got an unusual bonus episode this time around—one that in many ways recalls our old New Years’ resolutions episodes! We’re implementing an objectives and key results system behind-the-scenes here at Saving the Game, in order to grow the podcast and make sure we’re doing everything we can to improve the quality of our show. […]
With Jenny traveling for the holidays, we’re back to Grant and Peter on the mics for an episode! We cover our Christmas stories and Grant’s Christmas stream of the Link to the Past Holiday Randomizer, and remind our listeners about the very exciting upcoming Actual Play series we’re doing courtesy of […]
Author and game designer Greg Stolze joins us once again, this time to talk about systematically creating good gaming sessions! We had Greg on once before, talking about personal horror and Unknown Armies on STG 83, and it’s great to have him back to give some excellent game-mastering advice. Greg’s […]
Jenny and Peter oversee the promotion of our ongoing series on gamifying Biblical figures with one of the most difficult yet: Samson! Though his story is found in the Book of Judges, Samson is a notorious and often actively awful outlier among Biblical figures. He’s a drunken, womanizing barbarian who […]
