About Sense<\/em><\/h2>\n

This document is the best I’ve seen on the Dreamlands. It keeps the Dreamlands mysterious and fantastic while at the same time underscoring the horrific and terrible nature of the realm. Too many depictions I’ve read either play up the place like a pure fantasy land, akin to Melibone or Hyperborea, in order to interject some lightheartedness into the mythos, or focus solely on the horrific aspects of things like the gugs or moonbeasts. Instead the authors develop both aspects equally, never letting the wonder and horror overpower the other overall. Individual moments within the campaign will emphasize one or the other, but the aggregate demonstrates the horror in beauty and the wonder of terror.<\/p>\n

The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man<\/em> was written and illustrated by award-winning game designer Dennis Detwiller after its funding at Kickstarter, and I\u00a0edited it and laid it out myself. It was a huge project.\u00a0We’ve created\u00a0plenty of Lovecraftian horror with Delta Green<\/em><\/a> and each new issue of The Unspeakable Oath<\/em><\/a>, but the Dreamlands are very much their own kind of weird fiction.\u00a0We set out to present a full campaign that retains the stark risks and dread\u00a0of Call of Cthulhu<\/i>\u00a0within\u00a0the Dreamlands \u2014 that strange\u00a0realm where events often\u00a0move around the player characters and where sometimes their very imagination changes reality.\u00a0The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man<\/em> is an epic dream-quest for your Investigators, filled with\u00a0unique wonders and terrors.<\/p>\n
