About The Epic of Dreams - Basilisk Edition:
It’s so easy for the immersive magic of RPGs to get smothered by complex game math. That's why The Epic of Dreams utilizes a new role-playing game that runs on nothing but pure imagination.
The Epic of Dreams unbinds fantasy roleplay, keeping math to a minimum, while pushing story, action, and drama to the forefront. As long as you can remember your backstory and just 2 core stats, you can even play without pens, paper, or dice!
The Epic of Dreams - Basilisk Edition features:
Rules Light, Drama Heavy, Mythic Gameplay: Featuring in-character Soliloquies, The Epic of Dreams sews “Story” and “Game Stats” together seamlessly. The Epic uses world mythology as a touchstone to breathe deep meaning into any setting you can dream.
The Circle of the Muse: Our “diceless-yet-d20-friendly” core mechanic where Hero players guess to match number ranges on our 20-point Circle of the Muse.
Distinct, Compelling Heroes: Every Hero has a unique story - with big dreams, dark secrets, and peculiar abilities. With The Epic, nothing is “just flavor”; every narrative detail about your Hero impacts your saga.
The Circles of Magic: A flexible magic engine that puts wonder and danger back into the arcane. No two rites are cast the same.
The Circle of War: Gripping, explosive combat scenes your friends will never forget. In war, nobody “gets a turn” - every moment is do or die.
The Muse Herself: The secret to mastering improvised gameplay, the Muse watches over your saga for entertainment, giving insights and inspiration to GMs and players alike!
A Treasure Trove of Sagacraft: With over 100 curated random tables and evergreen worldbuilding resources! Invaluable for any GM, and usable with any RPG.
The Singer’s Bestiary: Containing over 400 classic & obscure monsters, gods, and ghosts from world mythology!
The Language of Lore: With easy-to-master rules, every fantasy story, RPG supplement, and historical sourcebook becomes usable with the game. If you’ve got the lore, you’ve got it - zero prep needed.

Firstly - beautiful book. The hardcover is so nice, the embossing and the color. The inside - again. Beautiful. Just flipping through I felt like it was a fever dream. Crazy visuals of almost occult like stuff mixed with almost stock black and white photos of Greek gods and lions with touches of like 6th grader artist trying to hard.
As for the game it self. It's nuts. In the end you do this cool numbered circle things where if you are close or not to the secret number it passes. But furthermore the book pretty much tells you to throw out the rules and just get lost in the roleplay. Like it's a super easy system but it goes hard - you can get lost in this world.
Other than that it's also a great book for ideas. I used it more to generate new world and ideas for magic.
It's a cool book.
