I'm building a playlist of #Halloween songs that don't suck. What would you put on it?
I've had enough Monster Mash, Addams Family, and Ghostbusters for the rest of my life.

Cracked open the new #DnD starter set last weekend at the church BBQ to teach some kids how to play. They ventured into town, quickly discovered that they couldn't order cake, and were off to adventure to restore the cake supply lines. One kid said, "These adventures actually make sense!"

For the next few months I'll be offering free spiritual direction sessions as I complete my practicum. Spiritual Direction offers an agena-less space to pause and listen for the Sacred within your own story. Remembering who you are and reconnecting with the wonder of being alive.

New books, who dis? I'm very excited about my new reading material. I was just telling someone this week that I oscillate between deep and dense theological/spiritual works and pure escapist fun. It's definitely time for some fun.

GM Tip - Get to the adventure already!
Don't start your session with the party milling about town searching for purpose. Lay out the adventure hooks & make them super clear! Unless it's a mystery, don't make your players search for what's happening. And if it is, lead with the mysterious!

You can use a Charisma (Persuasion) check to honestly and graciously convince someone of something.
Or you might want to spice it up and make a Wisdom (Persuasion) check to convince or comfort someone by speaking to their feelings with insight and understanding.

As a TCU alum, I am loving seeing the Tar Heels drop millions on their fancy new coach and create mountains of hype only to showcase themselves getting absolutely spanked by the Horned Frogs.
