  On a bed of moss 
  A role-playing game to play 
  while lying in bed at night, 
  waiting for sleep to come. 
   
  Listen:​ A millenia ago, humankind built giant 
  mechanical soldiers to make war for them. Stone, 
  metal or wood, the histories don’t tell us. But they 
  towered over the earth and shouldered the clouds 
  aside. What terrible destruction did these 
  machines wreak? That is another story. All that’s 
  left are lagoons that once were footsteps, and the 
  fallen giants who once shadowed the sky​.​ Lying 
  where they fell after the last war was fought, and 
  waiting for nature to take back what is hers. 
   
  As you lay in bed,​ waiting for sleep to come, 
  imagine that you are a mechanical giant at rest for 
  centuries in a field or deep forest. You are covered 
  thickly in moss, or lightly, or not at all, depending 
  on how many blankets you wear. Hear the sound 
  of your breathing: It is the wind whistling over 
  and around you. When you shift in bed, when you 
  adjust your position, a piece of your armor comes 
  tumbling off to lay in the soft grass. When you fall 
  asleep, you have been reclaimed by nature at last.
