About The Epic of Dreams - Basilisk Edition:
It’s so easy for the immersive magic of RPGs to get smothered by complex game math. That's why The Epic of Dreams utilizes a new role-playing game that runs on nothing but pure imagination.
The Epic of Dreams unbinds fantasy roleplay, keeping math to a minimum, while pushing story, action, and drama to the forefront. As long as you can remember your backstory and just 2 core stats, you can even play without pens, paper, or dice!
The Epic of Dreams - Basilisk Edition features:
Rules Light, Drama Heavy, Mythic Gameplay: Featuring in-character Soliloquies, The Epic of Dreams sews “Story” and “Game Stats” together seamlessly. The Epic uses world mythology as a touchstone to breathe deep meaning into any setting you can dream.
The Circle of the Muse: Our “diceless-yet-d20-friendly” core mechanic where Hero players guess to match number ranges on our 20-point Circle of the Muse.
Distinct, Compelling Heroes: Every Hero has a unique story - with big dreams, dark secrets, and peculiar abilities. With The Epic, nothing is “just flavor”; every narrative detail about your Hero impacts your saga.
The Circles of Magic: A flexible magic engine that puts wonder and danger back into the arcane. No two rites are cast the same.
The Circle of War: Gripping, explosive combat scenes your friends will never forget. In war, nobody “gets a turn” - every moment is do or die.
The Muse Herself: The secret to mastering improvised gameplay, the Muse watches over your saga for entertainment, giving insights and inspiration to GMs and players alike!
A Treasure Trove of Sagacraft: With over 100 curated random tables and evergreen worldbuilding resources! Invaluable for any GM, and usable with any RPG.
The Singer’s Bestiary: Containing over 400 classic & obscure monsters, gods, and ghosts from world mythology!
The Language of Lore: With easy-to-master rules, every fantasy story, RPG supplement, and historical sourcebook becomes usable with the game. If you’ve got the lore, you’ve got it - zero prep needed.
