Hey folks! There are still spaces open in 3 of the 6 Dreamland RPG games that Ronny and I are running at GenCon Online. The open games are "Party Planning on the Isle of Gasps" (Friday August 4), "Spiders and Knife Murder Mystery" (Saturday August 5), and "The Golden Earache" (Sunday August 6)...
Hello all! Event registration has just opened for GenCon Online, and me and my friend Ronny are running an ambitious SEVEN Dreamland games! If you are interested in trying out the game, and you want to do some online gaming on August 3-6, please check them out...
Hey, sorry for the late response! I'm running a bunch at GenCon Online (see next post). And/or feel free to join the Discord! :) https://discord.gg/QacThubS
Yeah, I have been able to do roleplaying online — a lot in fact! — but I generally have to start at 8 or later when the kids are in bed. It amazes me though, how many people even here on the Pacific Coast say they’re too sleepy to play from 8-10 or 8-11. 9_9 I gotta get up at 5am too, but I’m...
I'm technically a Gaming Dad but our children are 3 years old and 7 months old so not a lot of roleplaying yet. XD (That is, apart from CONSTANTLY being asked by my daughter to roleplay different cartoon characters...) But they did inspire me to write "Dungeon Babies"!
Hi all! If anyone is curious, I'm running Dreamland RPG playtests on Discord + roll20 on alternating Thursdays. This week's will be the first! Thursday June 8, 8PM PST. I'd love to have you there!

Sorry it took me literally weeks to respond to you! I was out of the country in a place with (unexpectedly) very, very bad internet. And I wanted to share some images to show how the game works, so I needed decent bandwidth to upload them!
Dreamland is set in the world of stories and myths, so...
Thanks! Well if your game is also inspired by Italo Calvino, I'm sure it will also be awesome! ;) You should post about it!! (You probably already have been and I missed it > _ < )
Personally the one game that I've recently(-ish) read and thought "Agggggggghhh I wish I had written that myself...
In more shameless self-promotion: we finally did a Dreamland RPG actual-play video!! 3 hours of character creation (which takes the first 30 minutes) plus an adventure, "Dreamland: The Island of Devils". Please check it out!
Hi all,
The week before last I finished the Quickstart PDF for my game system, Dreamland... on Friday I finished writing up an adventure which I've been using for playtests. The game is out there and I'm looking for folks to test, read and run it!
48-page Dreamland RPG Quickstart PDF -...
Hi everyone!! For some time now, I've been working on a new roleplaying game based on Lovecraft and Dunsany's Dreamlands -- a TTRPG about dreamers who travel between the waking world & the world of dream. I'm excited to announce that I have released the core Dreamland RPG rules (Beta version) as...
I try to be willing to watch/read most anything and not be, I think the psychological term instilled in me since elementary school is, "a big chicken." I love horror and depressing heavy stories. However, I still definitely find some material tasteless and will avoid it, I don't want to feel I'm...
Hey all! Pardon the continued self-promotion, but some folks are doing an actual-play campaign of my D&D variant "Dungeon Babies" on Twitch. They're called Uncanny Adventures and here's the YouTube upload of the first episode:
If anyone wants to know what it's like to play module "A1: Slave...
Hi everyone! Shameless self-promotion, but I'm really excited to announce my next RPG art project: I'll be drawing a poster map for one of my favorite OSR/RPG settings, the new edition of David McGrogan's YOON-SUIN: THE PURPLE LAND!
I'll only be drawing this is the Kickstarter meets its...
Sometimes Lamentations artist speaking here...! Here's my faves, on top of the ones Voros mentioned:
* The God That Crawls -- great reverse dungeon with lots of insane magic items.
* Death Frost Doom -- fun little super-deadly/campaign-exploding dungeon. Sort of a one-note trap but I like it...
In the interests of full disclosure, I've done work for Wizards in the past! Though of course that doesn't mean I'm a fan of all their decisions. :wink:
My feelings about the new "OGL" mess are as follows. There's different levels of how this could turn out based on how mean Wizards wants to...
I just wanted to say, thanks for this. Yes, there's definitely some very worrisome stuff in the potential changes. Attempting to withdraw/invalidate the original OGL would *REALLY* suck. We'll see.
But, OTOH, some of the people online complaining "We'll have to pay royalties if we make over...
