Episode 165 – Unlikely Heroes (with Mike Perna)

#Every33!
Mike Perna of Innroads Ministries, Game Store Prophets, and Bard and Bible joins us as he does every 33 episodes to talk about something he’s been itching to talk on the mics about for ages – unlikely heroes with a strong emphasis on Mike Mignola’s Hellboy.

We also give a shout-out to The Dungeon Pastors, a new project from two other friends of the show, Derek “The Geekpreacher” White and Stephen Taylor of Games for All. That’s immediately followed by one of the strangest questions’s we’ve had from a Patreon backer in a long time when John and Ginny Swann ask us ” What is your favorite sandwich and how would you play it as a character?” The episode is almost worth it for that conversation alone, folks.

Once we wrap that surprisingly thoughtful and in-depth section up, name a favorite sandwich of Jenny’s “The Goblin Warlock” and read our scripture, we move into our main topic: unlikely heroes and why Hellboy is such a compelling example of one, and how you can use him and other characters like him in your games. As is always the case, having Mike on gives us a lot of both quality and quantity.

Scripture: Exodus 4: 10-12, 1 Samuel 16:1-12, Matthew 9:9
