Player’s Guide
Venture into a world of mystery and adventure, a world where slumbering mechs dot the landscape, and people build their lives anew in the wreckage of paradise. Players will take on the role of one of the new factions of humanity — an Archivist, Dreamer, Everan, River, or Spear — and forge a path for themselves and their people.
The Dreams and Machines Player’s Guide contains:
- 208 pages guiding you through the core rules, character creation, the history of Evera Prime, and the state of the world as it stands now.
- A brand new version of the 2d20 system where your Spirit becomes a powerful resource in its own right, and characters gain benefits from learning about the world.
- 5 different origins, along with 9 archetypes (including 3 advanced archetypes), provide a huge amount of flexibility and variability in how you create your characters.
- A unique way of using growth to develop your character. Discover your short and long-term goals to retire and be the first to unlock powerful advanced archetypes.
- And much more!
