TOG Visual—An Origins Interview With Kevin Sorbo

Lately we’ve had a couple of awesome opportunities to reach out beyond the board gaming community and talk to some geeky cultural icons about their faith. Kevin Sorbo, who has been a major player in the science-fiction/fantasy genre in pop culture, was at Origins this year, and he was kind enough to take some time and have a chat with Jeremiah.

Our discussion was about faith, Hollywood, and Sean Penn.

We’re excited to bring you this visual coverage of Origins, and hope you’re enjoying it! We’d love it if you subscribed to the blog and our YouTube Channel!

Origins Stand-Outs, From Guest Blogger Josh Sepos

There were two standouts for me at Origins this year: Guildhall from AEG, and Line of Fire by Jason Tagmire. The latter of the two had a limited release through Kickstarter but is probably  one of the best quick-plays out there! I ended up snagging Guild Hall because I thought  it was so good—and hope to get my hands on Line of Fire sometime soon!
