1 player - 2 non-simultaneous characters

[Nightfall]

I think that's what Gothos is kind of about. So sure. It's your world and campaign. If the players' like it then go for it.

So playing 2 different versions of the same character in 2 different world sounds ok to you guys?

AR

It sounds more than OK to me; it sounds pretty fun I think your players will probably like it too, but you'll never know for sure until you give it a whirl.

Absolutely.

I just woke up a little bit ago from a wacky dream and it never ceases to amaze me how quickly (and without any cohesive reason) the plot, scene and characters change. I mean one minute I'm talking to my neighbor in his garage, an old-timer telling me that Jesse James slept there once upon a time, and then, quite suddenly, I'm wearing a tuxedo and riding a skateboard into the local drug store..... Point is, you could possibly play on that element of dreams - the semingly random array of plot devices. They could be like storms rolling across the dream landscapes - harbringers of monsters in tuxedos..

Well, Call of Cthulhu has this almost specifically. The Dreamlands. I mean, this is exactly what it's about...

There is no D20 version of Dreamlands, but with a Dreamlands BRP book and CoC D20, I bet it wouldn't be hard.

One-two freddy's coming for you

Three-Four better lock the door

Five-Six grab your crucifix

Seven-Eight better stay up late

Nine-Ten here he comes again


This idea can go a lot of ways, and has a lot of potential. I think you need to work out just what is possible in the dream worlds.
And watch A Nightmare On Elm Street a lot . All of 'em.
