Creator Journals 7/28/25 Chapter 8 is off to a good start. It’s definitely a departure from the tone of the rest of the book, but I love departing from my tone, it creates a good sense of contrast in the world.

Opportunities To Eat Strange Animals
Creator Journals 7/26/25 Today I ate a gator on a stick. I saw a cow made of butter. I went to the state fair. So . . . I didn’t really do any writing.

What Builds Your World?
Creator Journals 7/20/25 My players only made it through about half of what I had prepared last night. It was fun! But I think there are a few areas I could improve in.
