Some days it feels like the void is winning.
The dread sets in, whispers “what’s the point?”
Here’s the point: you showed up. You’re still building. Still dreaming.

My players pulled off an impossible task today and it was so much fun. They used magic and their souls to pull a mountain + town through time.
It was a great session.
