Especially existed for this new religion-related game I just got. The Magical Card Battle of Britain. 2+ players competing through real and fictional folk occultists, monsters, witches, and, ahem, scholars. From Hellebore press.

Not sure how fun students will find Pentiment, a historical RPG about a murder around an abbey in the early years of the Reformation. But worth a try given (1) *I* love it and (2) it’s great for actual learning objectives.

Starting to plan the revisions and tweaks to my two spring courses: Catholicism and Religion and Popular Culture. Incorporating two PC games and two tabletop games in them in part as a pilot program to work through the accessibility, financial, and educational challenges of teaching games.

Looking at religion-themed board and card games to add to the collection. Found an Apples to Apples Bible Edition. This little fanatic apple has strong feelings about biblical translations.

Doing more work on the book chapter on Charles Guiteau, who assassinated President Garfield as an "agent of the Deity." Here's the prosecutor's closing argument and Guiteau (The Prisoner) quipping up with one of his many interjections.
