This is it, folks: the last episode of Saving the Game. In this one, we explain why we’re shutting down the podcast, answer our remaining Patreon questions, thank people who helped us along the way, and reminisce a bit. We wanted closure for all of our listeners – and ourselves […]

An Important Note: This is the second-to-last episode of Saving the Game. Our last episode will release in two weeks and will be a “goodbye” episode. More details in the episode itself and a full-breakdown in the next one. This is the second part of the Prep/Improv two-parter we brainstormed […]
This episode marks the first of the two episodes we came up with based on a Patreon Question back in episode 189 – we’re talking about GM Prep. We check in as usual and then – perhaps ironically, perhaps appropriately for an episode that we came up with while answering […]
It’s a thing that often happens in games but seldom gets much detailed thought put into it: the PCs decide to go off and find something mundane to do like shopping or fishing. We start the episode off with the usual check-in and then move on to our Patreon question […]
We’re back with our 4th-quarter episode selected by our Patreon backers and it’s definitely kind of an “old-school” episode by our standards where we take a specifically-biblical theme and unpack and discuss it. This time, we’re ruminating on the topic of Eden and all of the themes of paradise, fall, […]
As October continues, so does our “Spooky Fall” lineup of horror and horror-adjacent topics. This time, we’re talking about “creepy crawlies” – the vermin and pests from snakes to spiders to locusts that can cause problems far bigger than their apparent size. We start off as usual with a host […]
Spooky fall continues with creative collaboration episode! We start with a check-in and some news – we can now be found on the Pray.com app and Faithcasts.com, should either of those strike your fancy. We all had fairly decent weeks leading up to recording, and kick off with a discussion […]
We’ve decided that a fun way to carve some enjoyment out of this uncooperative year is to do a general spooky topics roundup and so we’ve got another one for you this week. We start off with some exciting news: Jenny has done a fashion walk and Peter is on […]
Though we’ve done an episode on undeath in general, we figured that ghosts deserved an episode of their own, since they occupy a somewhat unique role in fiction. We start the episode off with a check-in as usual and… last Monday and the days leading up to it were rough, […]
This week’s episode is the second-quarter Patreon topic (a little late). We’ve referenced cosmic horror a number of times throughout our run, but never in this kind of depth. As is usual, we spend a bit of time catching up and then move into our Patreon question, supplied this time […]
Not feeling well and not being able to get to the internet robbed us of Jenny this week. However, despite that lack, this was a great episode because we had an awesome guest host! Paranoia writer WJ MacGuffin joined us to talk about incorporating real-world faiths into our gaming. We […]
Well folks, this is it – the last of the 3×3 grid of alignments, and arguably the worst of the worst. Note: Spoilers for the City on a Hill, Season 2 Finale from 9:12-11:35 We start off with an announcement that mirrors our recent blog post. TL;DR: we’re going to […]
