Society of Dreamers
A historical fantasy RPG set somewhere in Europe sometime in the 1800s¸ where player characters are members of a society searching for creatures called mnemosites (dream eaters). During a single session¸ players play out the entire lives of their characters¸ and the fate of their society. Play is largely freeform¸ using a set of scribbled notes and a board containing nine fields that an object is moved between. Character creation works by each player writing 8 notes: two each of gender¸ age¸ nationality and profession. These are collected into four heaps¸ from which each player draws one. After that¸ two scenes for each player are played¸ dealing with childhood and adolescence to complete the characters. During regular play¸ players take turns setting new scenes within bounds given by the game board and accompanying notes. The book is self-published throughLulu.com¸ and detailed on theofficial website. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H. Kim
