What it is about

Embark on a quest in that liminal place between waking and sleeping. Diedream is a one-page (front and back) solo TTRPG that you play in your head. Within two sides of A5 is an elegant game system that allows a player to go on adventures in the comfort of their bed with nothing more than their brain and their fingers. Alfred's work pokes at the edges of human consciousness — Will Jobst, Good Luck Press Designed to be played before falling asleep, the game uses a diceless randomiser and easy-to-remember oracles to take the player on unexpected journeys. It is equal parts game, bedtime ritual and creative procedure. Diedream was submitted as part of the One-Page RPG Jam 2023 . Physical edition Physical copies are available on my store . Pocket edition A 'pocket' version is available that fits on a business card. Special thank you to Alessio Serini for suggesting and co-designing this. You'll probably need to be familiar with the full-size Diedream to use this, but it also introduces a couple of features: a starting process for defining details about your character an optional rule for using those details to improve results where appropriate (including introducing 'yes and' results) Free adventure module Wild of Eye is a one-page starting adventure for Diedream. It's available to download on its own page . Adventure module template Fancy making your own module? In the downloads there's an InDesign template and a copy of the Diedream logo. You are welcome to publish modules for Diedream (with or without this template). The following text should be included somewhere visible in the publication and on the product page: [Product name] is an independent production by [Author or Publisher] adapted from Diedream and is not affiliated with Alfred Valley.

That way, other users who come to this page will be able to see it. Thanks!
