Something is Waking on Evera Prime
Dreams and Machines is a brand new tabletop roleplaying game where people come together to rebuild their world following a catastrophic war. The Dreams and Machines Gamemaster’s Guide gives you the rules and tools to immerse yourself and your players into the history and setting of Evera Prime. Challenge your players with mutants and mechs alike, while traveling the beautiful but dangerous landscape of this colony world.
A unique blend of fantasy and science fiction, reveal the history of Evera Prime as your players explore abandoned research facilities, ruined mega-cities, and beautiful but overgrown resorts, and reward them with fragments of knowledge to wake them from the specter of The Builder.
As humanity rebuilds and communities begin to thrive, the threat of the Dark City, the Thralls, and the Builder AI loom on the horizon. Wakers, trapped for centuries in a mechanical nightmare, spring to life and continue their murderous rampage with the fragments of programming they have left.
Dreams and Machines collide in a far future where its people come together to rebuild their world. The ultimate tale of hope and heroism in the shadow of the Wakers.
