I'd like to, but I have a couple of questions.

1. Could it be used as a stand-alone setting? You say it's more of a template, does that mean it doesn't have the races/classes/monsters necessary to be used on its own?

2. What variant rules are in it? Would it require a lot of learning from the players?

3. Could it concievably be used with Call of Cthulhu? I'm interested in running a game in the Dreamlands of CoC, but there doesn't seem to be much info in the book for it.

It is meant to be, essentially, a standard d20 game with a non-standard overlay. That is to say, with the rules and the SRD, you should have everything you need. I call it a template, because it is applicable to different genres (mostly within the scope of fantasy, but not necessarily).

2. What variant rules are in it? Would it require a lot of learning from the players?

The rules are still developing (thus, the playtesting), but they are shaping up to be mostly rules for introducing surrealism (specifically relating to the setting, The Dream) into the campaign. They should not require much learning for either the DM or the players, but imagination and creativity is required from both. This is a setting that can only work properly if all people involved are confident and mature enough in their gaming skills to roll with it.

3. Could it concievably be used with Call of Cthulhu? I'm interested in running a game in the Dreamlands of CoC, but there doesn't seem to be much info in the book for it.

Oh, gods yes! And I'd love to read about it!

I am mildly interested (okay really interested, but I am unsure of my situation this summer).

Hmmm, I'll keep checking back.

PS: interested in playing... I don't run d20.
