I was wrong in assuming they would like a cartoonish type of video game.

A true story of what happened in the pre-alpha testing last night in Stars Reach. It began as an upwelling under a basement. Oh, ever since the crater lake next door had overheated and spewed a geyser far into the sky, water was everywhere… condensing on every surface. But this was something more. It bubbled up from under Leric’s house, right there by the fountain in the middle of the settlement on Gaiamar.
