“Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.”
It’s been a great, memorable campaign and the most immersive experience of Dragon Pass I’ve ever played. It was a great bunch to play with and the whole imaginative sessions coordinated superbly by Roy.

Just finished our 6 Seasons in Sartar #Runequest game with @chunkyduff.bsky.social @lintillaz.bsky.social @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social @nmtdrzine.bsky.social and @fenrisgames.com.
Quite the emotional epilogue. <3
Massive thanks to everyone who made the game such a rollercoaster.
