Accidental Gods

Another World is still Possible. The old system was never fit for purpose and now it has gone- and it"s never coming back. We have the power of gods to destroy our home. But we also have the chance to become something we cannot yet imagine, and by doing so, lay the foundations for a future we would be proud to leave to the generations yet unborn.
