What is it like to lose a 16th-level #dnd character, that you have been playing for years? I *almost* found out. Evidently a #cleric (even a war cleric) should not go toe-to-toe with a #balor.
Two failed death saves, and if I had rolled wrong on the last death save, I would have been gone.
Party members saved me at the last moment, when I had been quickly putting together my final words. But my cleric, barely, survived. And he gets to go on to the next adventure.

It is a pretty sweet #movie, and innocent, if you are looking for a #romance. It has a lot of #humor in it as well.

I always find this video inspirational. My wife and I run a traditional Catholic homeschool, and the values we try to instill in our children are reflected in this video.
I have been to Saint Mary's, Kansas before, after I had gone on the Santa Fe pilgrimage a few years ago. The campus of Saint Mary's Academy and College is beautiful.
