Dreamjammer

One-sheet shipcrawl of Lovecraftian splendor.

Sleepover takes a bizarre turn. YOU all wake up and find yourselves in a shared dream, clad in 1800s garb and being crew members of a nameless White Ship with sails and oars, adrift upon unknown seas. You are trapped within this oneiric world, and the only way out is to sail to fabled Cathuria, Land of Hope, or die while questing. Gaze at the skies, chase the blue roc!

This game was mainly inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's White Ship: both the author's (very) short story and the psychedelic rock band's song (yes, there was a band called H. P. Lovecraft). Drawing from Lovecraft's Dream Cycle, this game is themed on the counterpoint to well-known cosmic horror: Cosmic Bliss.

This game may receive updates until the end of the One-Page RPG Jam 2024. Stay tuned! (2024-08-18) Final, playtested, patched version is out! The original version is still available.
