What Mr. Shermer says is wise, but he needs to adress skeptics.

Remember; if the players get to surprise you, you get to surprise the players.

Carrie Fisher had bipolar disorder. There would be times when she was giddy, thoughtless, and manic. At other times she would be gloomy and sometimes even suicidal. These swings were not under her control, she could not just get over them.

She learned what it was she had. She got help for it. There were times when she despaired that the treatment would even work, but she persevered. In this she was encouraged by her doctor, her family, and her friends. She was stabilized, she learned how to deal with her problems. Most importantly she spoke out, encouraging others in the same straits to do as she had done. Some listened. Not all but some. Some who listened got help and for many that made things better. For that alone Carrie Fisher was somebody to admire, for in exposing her flaw and encouraging those with the same flaw to get the help they needed she made changes in the lives of many, and saved many of those lives. That is why I honor her today.

Oh, and she played a princess in the movies, but that's of no import.

Your players want to talk with the monster, let them talk.
