Often Denis Gerfaud’s scenarios have a wry and skewed take on the classic fantasy roleplaying genre. Rather than postulate prodigious protagonists performing outrageous acts of heroism, they... More > often involve Journeyers stumbling upon a small wrong in the Dreaming needing to be set right. Always, though, the solution is more about correctly interpreting the poetic analogies of the scenario, rather than, er, slaying a dragon so to speak.
These scenarios, some by Gerfaud, capture the mood of this game that French players have been enjoying for over two decades. Like the game’s author, they are deliberately skewed, taking as their props everyday situations and objects absurdly or surreally distorted. Vault of Dreams includes: Unicorn Dream, Chrysobelle, Nose of Hypnos, Vale of Phosneratu, Tempest in a Teacup, Sacrificial Oracle, Dread Ringers, Navigator, Dressmaker of Gothga, and Dark of the Well.
Appendices provide background on the city of Gothga, and a new creature, the bouncer.< Less
