This is the page where we post about upcoming convention games, as well as online assets you can use to run Dreamland yourself. We also have contact information for the site.

UPCOMING CON GAMES & PUBLIC DEMOS

Big Bad Con (Burlingame, CA – September 28-October 1)

We’re running a Dreamland game at this cool convention near the San Francisco airport! Unfortunately several initially planned Dreamland games had to be canceled as the DM is sick.

The House of the Gnoles (Friday 9/29, 2-6PM, Room 2016, Table 5): Who dares steal the fabled emeralds from the house of the terrible Gnoles, deep in the Enchanted Wood? You, that’s who. A fairytale horror adventure.

Gamehole Con (Madison, WI – October 21)

Benet Devereux will be running the Dreamland adventure “On the Wings of Dream” at this convention in Madison, WI on Saturday October 21 from 10am-2pm. Please sign up here!

GoPlayNW Online (Online-only – October 28)

I’ll be running The Palace of Memories at GoPlayNW Online! The game will be 7-11PM PST on Saturday, October 28. Sign up here!

In the past we have run Dreamland demos at other conventions like GenCon, NecronomiCon, Convocation, KublaCon and YSDC Game Day. Check here for future updates!

If you’re interested in playtesting Dreamland with your own local gaming group, or trying a game on Roll20, feel free to email us at (Jason’s first name) at mockman point com, or ping us on twitter or Facebook.

DREAMLAND QUICKSTART RULES

As of March 2023, the Beta version of the rules are available online in a QuickStart PDF for you to download & try:

Dreamland Quickstart (48p.): https://www.dropbox.com/s/zyowl4rt6ojamll/Dreamland-Quickstart-3-13-23.pdf?dl=0

There is also one complete online starter adventure, “The Paradise of the Unchanging” (which also contains a short bestiary and other odds & ends):

The Paradise of the Unchanging (30p.): https://www.dropbox.com/s/4lww3y0xsh0ye0a/Dreamland-The%20Paradise%20of%20the%20Unchanging%203-25-23.pdf?dl=0

Printable Dreamland Character Sheet (3p.): https://www.dropbox.com/s/jykiladh9ffak1f/Dreamland-character-sheet-4-10-23.pdf?dl=0

This character sheet is higher-resolution than the one in the Quickstart PDF.

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 March 2023, 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/s/974ahp7upefpkgx/dreamland-rpg-playingcards.pcio?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.

Dreamland cards are also set up for roll20, but since roll20 assets can’t be shared except as products in the roll20 store, we haven’t made these available yet (since Dreamland isn’t ready for commercial release yet, we don’t want to charge money for it). 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

For those who prefer to play RPGs in-person, you’ll have to wait till Dreamland is released in an official print edition with books, maps and physical Word Cards. However, as an interim measure, a POD version of the 300 Word Cards is now available at The Game Crafter. These are more expensive than the cards would be as part of 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!)
