Columbus Mastering the Art of Character Immersion

If you have ever been curious about how to bring a character to life on the tabletop or in a live action setting, this masterclass is for you. We are getting together in Columbus to break down the techniques behind effective character immersion. Whether you are a veteran player looking to refine your portrayal or someone new to the hobby who wants to feel more confident in a costume, this session will focus on the practical side of developing a persona that feels grounded and consistent. We will spend our time covering physical presence, voice work, and the mental framing required to stay in character when things get hectic. This is a low-pressure environment meant for shared learning, so expect a mix of brief demonstrations and open discussion. We want to help you build a toolkit that makes your next experience more engaging for both you and the people you play with. If you are interested in joining us, please grab a spot on the RSVP list so we can get an accurate headcount for the space. [\[RSVP Online Now\]](https://marycarter7498.com/product)

Drunken Philosophy: "What is Art?"

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. Optional Discussion Questions * Defining Art: Plato viewed art as an imitation of reality can art even be objectively defined, or is it entirely subjective? * Artist vs. Audience: Arthur Danto suggests art is defined by its interpretation within the "artworld." Who ultimately decides what counts as art the creator, the critic, the viewer, or society? * Limits of Art: Duchamp’s "Fountain" challenged our boundaries of art. Can anything even ordinary objects or actions become art? * Art and Meaning: Kant argued true art should evoke "disinterested pleasure." Does art need to have a message or deeper meaning, or can it exist purely to please aesthetically? * Art for the Masses: According to Benjamin, mass-produced art (film, photography, digital media) can democratize culture. Does widespread accessibility improve art or diminish its value? * Art and Truth: Heidegger suggests art reveals hidden truths about existence. Has an artwork ever fundamentally changed how you understand the world? Can a work of art change the way an entire society views the world? * Art and Emotion: Tolstoy believed the purpose of art is to transfer emotions. Must art evoke emotion to be valid? * Cultural Impact: How do cultural backgrounds influence our definition of art? Could something be art in one culture but not in another? * Art and Skill: Does art require technical skill or craftsmanship? Should a portrait of a crude person be painted crudely? * Art Museums: Are museums gatekeepers of culture, preservers of history, or something else entirely? What role do art museums serve? * NFT Art: Does art lose its value or authenticity if it only exists digitally? * Moral Art: Should art strive to morally improve us as Plato and Tolstoy argued, or should it be free from moral duties, as Wilde proposed? * Beauty and Meaning: Can art still be meaningful if it isn't traditionally "beautiful"? What qualities might make an artwork significant beyond aesthetic beauty? * Rejection of New Ideas: Why do new artistic ideas often face initial rejection? Are groundbreaking works inherently challenging to accepted tastes, or is rejection more about comfort and familiarity?

Happy hour book club

Meet the Inner Critic

**A research-backed evening on the voice that says "you should have this figured out by now" and whether it's actually true.** You've recently retired, or you're getting close. Somewhere between "I finally have time for me" and "is this really it," a voice keeps showing up. It says you should already have this figured out. That wanting more is ungrateful. That you're too old to start over. Here's a question worth sitting with: is any of that true, or is it just a sentence you've been carrying so long it feels like fact? That's what we're digging into at this month's What's Next Circle session, built around *Take Back Your Brain* by Kara Loewentheil. No spiritual talk, no manifestation, just a clear look at the difference between what actually happened in your life and the story you've quietly attached to it. This isn't a book club. You don't need to have read anything. Whether you were with us for *The Unwritten Chapter* or this is your very first time in the room, you're exactly on time. What to expect: * 90 minutes, small group, real conversation * No prep, no homework, no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with * One idea to test out in your own life this week
