Got back from Europe last week, all amazing but Mont Saint-Michel stole the show. Basically felt like we were in a magical D&D adventure lol
Shawn, April, and Jillian at sunset stand in front of a magical medieval village perched on the lower part of a rock jutting out of a tidal flat with a thousand year old abbey on the top of it.

#gdc was a blast! Loved catching up with everyone and also came away inspired (like every year). Oh, also, this cat wants me to play Settlers of Cat-on with her.
