Gamer and pastor Tim Decker of Christ Community Etc in Owosso, MI joins us to talk about playing support characters in our roleplaying games, in response to the eternal complaints of players who don’t want to play the cleric! We also discuss how to end a game that’s stopped being fun without any hard feelings, as Grant’s Fellowship group did, and the conclusion of Jenny’s “moidah mystery” prequel to Keep on the Borderlands. We also spend quite a lot of time answering Patreon backer “ComposerDad”, who asks whether gaming groups share the same unifying, cross-subcultural nature of churches. Once that’s done, we dive deep into ways to make those “boring” support characters into something more interesting than a healbot. Enjoy!
