Faith in Play #56: Guidance

July 5, 2022 by M. J. Young, Chaplain Leave a Comment

This is Faith in Play #56:  Guidance, for July 2022. In most of our games, either God or the gods are irrelevant, or we via our characters tell them what we want to do and ask or sometimes tell them to help.  Sometimes the referee decides that we will go on a quest, and a … [Read more…]

Christian Game-ism

Editor’s note: As usual, opinions of Guild members do not reflect the position of the Guild as a whole. As an organization, we neither condemn nor endorse any given entertainment product. However, neither do we discourage members from offering their own opinions. What makes a game “Christian?” Intent If I handed you a rock and … [Read more…]

Christ and the Dice #1: Introduction

May 28, 2019 by Osye E. Pritchett III Leave a Comment

My name is Osye E. Pritchett III (pronounced Oh-Sea). I am a Christian and a gamer. This is my story (abridged). To start I would like to affirm that I believe in God. I believe in the Incarnation; that is, I believe that God became man in the person of Jesus. Wholly God. Wholly man. … [Read more…]

Faith in Play #12: Fiction and Lies

November 6, 2018 by M. J. Young, Chaplain Leave a Comment

This is Faith in Play #12:  Fiction and Lies, for November 2018. I once encountered someone who held the view that all of Jesus’ parables were literally true, that they were recountings of real events of which He in His omniscience was aware.  There really was a Good Samaritan, a Prodigal Son, a woman who … [Read more…]

Faith in Play #8: Redemption Story

July 3, 2018 by M. J. Young, Chaplain 1 Comment

This is Faith in Play #8:  Redemption Story, for July 2018. Years ago I wrote Faith and Gaming:  Redemption, which was republished last spring.  In it I made the distinction between the “Prodigal Stories” that we sometimes call stories of redemption and the real “Redemption Story”, the story of how the price was paid, how … [Read more…]

Faith and Gaming: Redemption

March 28, 2017 by M. J. Young, Chaplain Leave a Comment

Some time back, someone asked me whether particular kinds of stories were inherently Christian stories, and I didn’t have an answer at that moment. I have since suggested, notably in considering Faust, Sorcerer, and Deals with the devil, that some stories might indeed be at least strongly if not inherently Christian. However, the questioner was … [Read more…]

Faith and Gaming: Imagery

December 6, 2016 by M. J. Young, Chaplain Leave a Comment

Eight months ago we began exploring ways of bring our faith to bear on our games. In that time, we looked at quite a variety of ideas. We said that you could play the Good Guys, characters who shared at least part of your faith; but that you could also play the Bad Guys, showing … [Read more…]
