Welcome to the home of Gryphon King gaming. This blog will be the home to film and TV reviews, book and game reviews, as well as occasional articles on subjects on any fandom our family finds interesting. You can find me on twitter at www.twitter.com/thegryphonking, and on twitch at twitch.tv/thegryphonking. Please stay tuned for content as well as the occasional article or review for kids written by one of the Gryphon Princes or Princesses.
Why the Gryphon? Well, while we are nerds, we are also Catholics who attend the Latin Mass. There is some cool symbolism of the Gryphon as representative of Christ as the king of heaven and earth (eagle and lion). And there is also some very beautiful imagery of the gryphon in Dante's La Commedia. If you've read past Inferno and into the Paradiso, you know what I'm talking about!
So we have many interests, and I had been a film critic in my younger days. Having to comment to my family as I screen films or books (or games) they are interested in made me think it would be good to perhaps write on these topics again. So you may find articles about our exploits in Castles and Crusades or Dungeons and Dragons, where Dad attempts to be the Dungeon Master as his adventuring children undertake heroic deeds. Or many articles about my current obsession, Destiny. Yes, I know we need new content, but I love the game, have little time for gaming, and still find it fun. We have other board games we'd review, as well as articles on music, films, or tv, both for specific reviews, as well as general articles on topics of interest, often from a faith perspective.
Thank you for visiting, and hopefully I'll find time to comment here on a regular basis and have some interesting discussions with fellow Catholics, gamers and nerds who find the same worlds of fantasy and diversion interesting.
