DREAMSCAPES vol. zero: The Thousand Cousins
A downloadable dreamscape
This is a system-agnostic setting about DIASPORA ELVES and reclaiming a home and a heritage that has fallen to environmental disaster. Reclaim your homeland, or forge a new path for yourself? Can your people’s past be saved? Is this all kind of a metaphor for being mixed-race?
By default there is no sexism or homophobia or transphobia in the DREAMSCAPES series. If you and your group want to explore fighting those things in this setting, feel free to collaboratively hack it, but there’s also plenty of other problems to be getting on with here.
UPDATE 8/12: Added some more detail to the various lineages, as well as a few more locations; polished up the text and formatting; added a cover.

I'm a perma-GM and I usually only play tabletop campaigns in my own homebrew settings. I came across this one, and I loved it so much that I ran a campaign in it. My players loved it so much that I'm now running a second campaign (where they deal with the repercussions of the stuff they did in the first campaign). We're nearing the end of that second campaign, and my players want to know when the third one will start.
This is a thought-provoking setting, with plenty of room for GMs to throw in all kinds of interesting, weird problems for a group to come across - and raise questions of their own.
I love it, is what I'm saying.
For those wondering how "system-agnostic" the setting is: I've run sessions in this setting in Blades In The Dark, Into The Odd, and Cypher, with no changes made to the setting and only minimal changes made to the systems (for example, re-flavoring the Blades factions so they fit in here).
Thank you so much for leaving this comment! It really made my day to hear that there are people out there having so much fun with the setting and really vibing with it. 🙏 It's incredibly cool that you've done so much with it!
I'm actually working on a longer new edition with more content + my take on some mechanics and if you want, I can get your group the link for the beta manuscript!
That would be fantastic - thank you!
Is there a preferred email you have and/or a way to DM you?
