[QUOTE="Rune, post: 342725, member: 67"] [b]Re: Hey, is it just me....[/b] The idea of dream settings is not uncommon (I'm working on Jaldaen's Nevermore, right now, for instance), but usually they look at dreams from the outside in. That is, characters can enter dreams and they can leave them. What sets The Dream appart is that characters do not enter or leave [i]ever[/i]-- they are part of The Dream. That is to say that the setting is a look at dreams from the inside out. You don't see the game from Alice's perspective-- you see it from the Cheshire Cat's perspective, instead. Naturally, this is a very cerebrial setting to run-- and quite challenging; it was certainly not what WotC was looking for. I knew this, but had to enter anyway.
