Reve-the Dream Ouroboros: Vault of Dreams
Often Denis Gerfaud's scenarios for Rêve have a wry and skewed take on the classic fantasy roleplaying genre. Rather than postulate prodigious protagonists performing outrageous acts of heroism¸ they often involve Journeyers stumbling upon a small wrong in the Dreaming needing to be set right. Always¸ though¸ the solution is more about correctly interpreting the poetic analogies of the scenario¸ rather than¸ er¸ slaying a dragon so to speak. The three scenarios included herein and written by Gerfaud (The Chrysobelle¸ Vale of Phosneratu¸ and Dread Ringers) are classic examples of this sentiment.
"Other scenarios here¸ not written by Gerfaud¸ nevertheless attempt to capture some of the mood of this game that French players have been enjoying for over two decades now. They¸ like the author they are inspired by¸ are deliberately skewed¸ and take as their props everyday situations and objects absurdly or surreally distorted.
