DEVELOPMENT OF DREAM ATLAS
tabletop role playing game
Dream Atlas is a a roleplaying setting and game system based on the story and fictional setting of The Atlas of Dreams, a four part novel. Set two centuries after the death of God, Characters live in a world desperate to find or fabricate god in order to give meaning to its existence. In pursuit of spiritual, moral and personal transcendence, players explore ideas such as: what is the purpose of power? what is our greatest desire? and how is the ultimate sense of satisfaction achieved? Is god truly necessary for a moral and purposeful existence? or are we and our relation to one another enough for a life worth having?
