ABOUT DREAMLAND:
There is another world beyond our perception, a world which few people know. Past time and space is the Dreamlands, an infinite place of wonder and terror, formed from dreams and hopes of humanity.

The game system features a unique mechanic of using Words randomly drawn from a pool while talking in character* to add to a d6 against challenges. But use too many words and you may break the Pillars of Dreamland! The scenario is more "fluffy" (mood, atmosphere, roleplay, story) than "crunchy" (tactics, game mechanics, combat, dice rolling). Characters may die, but it's only a dream..right?

The scenario may not have a "win", but the story will conclude. No familiarity with H.P. Lovecraft or Lord Dunsany needed, nor should you expect their creations in the scenario. But their dreamy style is redolent throughout the game.

* No oratory skill needed, but basic English language comprehension is helpful.
