October 3, 2023 by M. J. Young, Chaplain 9 Comments

This is Faith in Play #71:  Good Witch, for October 2023.

RPG-ology #32: Doing Something

July 21, 2020 by M. J. Young, Chaplain

This is RPG-ology #32:  Doing Something, for July 2020.

Faith and Gaming: Sex

February 14, 2017 by M. J. Young, Chaplain Leave a Comment

In the earliest articles of this series, we were looking at what might be considered the issues in role playing, those areas in which Christians might have concerns. We started with some fairly simple ones—the implications of various types of mechanics, the matter of creating settings which were different in any way from the world … [Read more…]
