I’m excited to announce what I’ve been working on secretly for the last several months… Dreamland: Fairytale Portal Fantasy Beyond the Wall of Sleep has a publisher! The tabletop RPG of Wonder, Mystery, Loathing, Passion and Faraway will be released in 2025 by Exalted Funeral, amazing publishers of great games such as Ultraviolet Grasslands, Land of Eem and Monty Python’s Cocurriculcar Mediaeval Reenactment Programme. I’ve been working closely with the Exalted folks since the beginning of 2024, and together we have just released a teaser of what’s to come: an updated Dreamland Quickstart PDF and much more.
Dreamland will be released in at least one large book of 300+ pages, completely illustrated by myself, and written by myself along with several other great RPG and fantasy authors. The current plan is to crowdfund it, so this all depends on the support, generosity and go-tell-your-friends of everyone reading this. In the meantime, the new free PDF materials available on the Exalted Funeral website show a sample of what’s to come, including some of the new art I have created for the project. Go to their website now and download it all, including everything you need to print-and-play Dreamland on your own non-virtual tabletop!
The “Dreamland Quickstart” Exalted Funeral ZIP file of amazing free stuff includes:
- Dreamland Quickstart Rules – expanded to 52 pages, with corrections & new artwork
- The Paradise of the Unchanging, the introductory adventure – expanded to 32 pages with new art
- Form-fillable Dreamland character sheet
- a print-quality PDF of 300 Word cards to play Dreamland with
- print-quality PDFs of Roles, Impairments and Transformation cards
But a picture is worth 1000 words — check out these pages!!
This is all just a small sample of what’s to come. Here’s a map included with “The Paradise of the Unchanging,” the Dreamland sample adventure, first run at NecronomiCon in 2015:
Working with Exalted Funeral has been great, and it’s a huge pleasure to have them help make Dreamland RPG a reality. I’ll be posting a lot more here in the coming months and continuing to run many games on Thursdays on the Dreamland Discord channel — mostly on nights at PST but occasionally nights at GMT time for European/British/African gamers. Please join one, but if you can’t make it (or even if you can), please run a Dreamland game yourself, in person with the Exalted Funeral Print & Play cards or online at playingcards.io using this Dreamland assets file (create an account at playingcards.io and upload the .pcio file; the Dreamland card set will appear).
In short — Dreamland is coming! Thanks for your support. Tell everyone! Try it out! Clear your new-game-getting calendar for 2025! And go get the new Quickstart!
