This is the page where we post about upcoming convention games and other opportunities to run playtests of Dreamland. Stay up to date by signing up to our mailing list.
If you are a Dream Master, this is where you can find official online assets you can use to run your very own one-shot or campaign of Dreamland. Please join the conversation on our Dreamland Discord channel! I would love to answer any questions you have and hear firsthand about any playtests you have run.
We also have a Facebook group where we share updates, as well as Dreamlands and “dream fantasy”-related art, from Lord Dunsany and Winsor McCay to Kij Johnson and Mercer Mayer. Join the Facebook here!
Stay tuned for updates for more convention games.In the past we have run Dreamland demos at conventions like GenCon, BigBadCon, Strategicon, GameholeCon, NecronomiCon, Convocation, Precognition, Gamex, GoPlayNW, KublaCon and YSDC Game Day.
ONLINE PLAYTESTS (FEBRUARY-MARCH 2026)
If you are interested in playing online, we do Dreamland playtests 2-3 times a month on the Dreamland Discord server (and roll20), usually starting at 7PM PST. Join the Discord here! The latest playtests are:
February 23, 7PM PDT – Dreamland/Wonderland: A Dreamland playtest set in the worlds of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland”, just beyond the Enchanted Wood.
March 3, 7PM PDT – Land of the Seven Dreamers: Venture to the east of Dreamworld, where desert sands and celestial sights teem with magic… and where a secret cult guards a power to blur the boundaries between worlds. A playtest inspired by my Dreamland adventure “Club of the Seven Dreamers”, originally written for D20 OGL rules.
March 17, 7PM PDT – Collaborative Variant Rules Playtest: Join other players as we tinker together a more collaborative variant version of Dreamland! Collaboratively create a world, explore it, and share the shifting responsibility of the Dream Masters. (This is a 2nd attempt at the collaborative playtest we did in 2025, with some rules changes: no experience required, please join!)

DREAMLAND QUICKSTART RULES
Dreamland will be published in 2026 by Exalted Funeral! You can get the QuickStart version of the Dreamland rules for free from the Exalted Funeral website. This version supersedes all previous QuickStarts and includes:
- QuickStart rules (52 pages)
- “The Paradise of the Unchanging” (introductory adventure) (32 pages)
- Form-fillable Character Sheet
- Print-and-play Dreamland Word, Role, Impairment and Transformation cards
The form-fillable character sheet is also available here at 300dpi:
VTT (VIRTUAL TABLETOP) SUPPORT
Dreamland is a card-based game where players use 300 Word Cards to tell stories and describe marvels of Dreamland. As of September 2025, you can use any of the following ways to play Dreamland:
Tabletop Simulator: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2925695901 – Tabletop Simulator costs a flat fee of $20 to buy on Steam; the Dreamland material is free. Go here to subscribe to Dreamland and you’ll be able to download the cards as well as receiving updates whenever I make edits.
playingcards dot io: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/01gh33ohhknja27rrv32f/dreamland-playingcards-io.pcio?rlkey=dggxt2puazihh1q38enhpbwvo&st=vvlkzqnb&dl=0 Though not a full VTT, this free site works great for simulating Dreamland Word Cards. To use it, click on the file link above and download the “.pcio” file. Then create an account at playingcards.io and upload the file; the Dreamland card set will appear. The .pcio file was last updated July 12, 2024.
Dreamland will also be available soon on roll20. Occasionally Jason, Aaron or someone else who has uploaded Dreamland cards to roll20 will run a game on roll20.
Here’s a recording of our first Dreamland actual play video, recorded in April 2023 using OBS on Zoom and roll20:
POD (PRINT ON DEMAND) CARDS
If you want to play Dreamland in person, just download the free Exalted Funeral Dreamland QuickStart and get started! The QuickStart includes all the essential Word Cards (20 pages of 15 cards each) as well as the nice-but-not-necessary-to-play Role, Impairment and Transformation cards.
If you’d rather not cut the cards out yourself, a POD version of the 300 Word Cards is available at The Game Crafter. These are more expensive than the cards would be as an official release, and these are not the final designs, but they’re high-quality and suitable to playtest the game using the Quickstart Rules. If you can’t wait to play Dreamland in-person, please check them out! (And please look forward to an eventual professional release of the game!)
CONTACT INFORMATION
If you’re interested in playtesting Dreamland with your own gaming group, or trying a game on Roll20, feel free to email us at (Jason’s first name) at mockman point com, ping us on twitter or Facebook, or of course ask on the Discord.
