I'm pulling the trigger. I've got seven students in my 6th grade Latin class. We're going learn about Latin, the Romans, et cetera by playing Parvolus dX (also known as @td10rpg). Below? My WiP character sheet.
Last night, Katrina, Christopher, and I watched Jimmy, a biopic about Jimmy Stewart, focusing on his military service during WWII. KJ Apa plays Stewart, and he absolutely nails the role.
This might have been the best movie I've ever watched.

My best time I had running S1 was at a con with Little Fears as the game system. The PCs were kids playing AD&D when goblins from a neighbor's basement broke into the house and abducted the DM's infant sister. The neighbor's basement was the entrance to the Tomb of Horrors.
“Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.” ― Pope Benedict XVI
Questions to students laughing during All Souls' Day prayer service:
"What's funny about a day set aside for people to remember dead loved ones? What's funny about my mother being dead? What's funny about two of my children being dead?"
"I've never been a quitter. Why, I've never known when to quit. Just ask my fourth-grade teacher." — Ernest P. Worrell
Fun idea! The PCs are agents of the Megaverse Wardens who protect Earth-HU, Earth-NS, Earth-PF, and Earth-TMNT from multiversal threats.
Game Systems? Palladium's Heroes Unlimited, Ninjas & Superspies, Fantasy Roleplaying, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Over the past four or so decades, public schools have slowly dumbed down curricula. Colleges and universities followed suit. To hide the drop in standards, the SAT's makers made the test easier.

Just sent a team to serve as a protective presence in Taybeh, the last all-Christian town in the West Bank.
Israeli settlers' new tactic is STEALING their olive harvests - and it needs a response: Christians in the Holy Land are safer when the world is watching.

Probably going to start a pirate game. Working on the Foundry map for the ship. Used Gemini to come up with portraits for NPC crew members to turn into Foundry tokens.

Regarding the controversy du jour re: Metallica, let us remember the wise words of a great poet.
"If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information [about politics], you're a bigger moron than they are." ― Alice Cooper

"...Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) is the symbol of European greed and genocidal imperialism. In reality, Columbus was a man of his time—a devout Catholic with an interest in evangelization, motivated by religious and personal goals."

I've taught in an "inner-city" school, almost entirely Hispanic. Tough neighborhood. Before I took over teaching English, I asked the outgoing teacher about class novels.
"Oh, no, Mr. Chance. As you know, most families here are Mexican, and they don't value education."
Decades ago, I told my students at Resurrection Catholic School that I was a vato rudo, and they didn't believe me. Well, believe, children, believe.
