What's your dream?
Every story in Dreamchaser is uniquely crafted by its players to fit their interests, their mood, their tastes. Maybe, you’ll Hatch the Last Dragon Egg, Bring Firefly Back for More Episodes, or just Make the Perfect Sandwich. Each session will create a memory and an experience that only you, and those lucky enough to play with you—will know. Together, create a dream to achieve, the characters to pursue that dream, and the moments you want to experience along the way. If you can imagine it, you can play it…
Set milestones for your characters to dictate the character moments you want them to have. More importantly, set milestones to dictate want you want to experience in your game.
Players play characters but also act as an audience in this sort of "choose your adventure" story game. Help chisel out your fellow player characters by observing how they act and learning their intentions. Point it out and watch them evolve.
In Dreamchaser, each story is also a tale about growth and learning to belief in oneself. As your character's belief grows, you will find that the universe conspires to connect each of us with our dream. Will you be bold enough to pursue it?
Play your part, pursue a dream, and believe!
This is our story
You are not alone in this.
Dreamchaser plays best with three or four players. Together, pitch ideas for what would make your heart sing in a game. Aim for something fun, something epic, or something personal.
Play the most crucial and compelling roles in our story. Tie your personal milestones together to create a road map to our grand goal—our dream. Feel rewarded for accomplishing your milestones as well as those of your friends, as each one brings you closer to the final goal. The road map or Dream Map, as I like to call it, provides a framework for the Game Master to guide us through.
Create a destiny together and achieve it!
