Published: Nov. 17, 2015, 4:01 a.m.

Grant and Peter reprise Episode 60's "Gaming Curriculum" topic,\xa0with another set of suggested media! These are things we think you should read, watch, play, or experience away from the gaming table which will make you a better player and gamemaster. Check the full show notes below for links to everything we mentioned during the show!\n\nAlso, we're raising funds for The Bodhana Group, which uses tabletop RPGs in cognitive therapy applications for hurting children. For more details, visit our fundraiser page or listen to Episode 25, where we interviewed Bodhana's Executive Director and learned all about the great work they do. If you want to help them, please consider giving to them this holiday season!\nScripture: Proverbs 22:6, Acts 8:26-31\nSettings\tThe Earthsea series of novels, by Ursula K. le Guin\tSchlock Mercenary, by Howard Tayler\tExtra History, by Extra Credits\tCrash Course, by John & Hank Green\tThe Fallout series of games, by Bethesda Game StudiosPlots\tPhone Booth, directed by Joel Schumacher\tSojourn and other anthologies\tThe "Doc Savage" series of novels, by William G.
