In a darker future much closer than you think, there are people. People who exist much in the same way as they do in our world. In our world, we all have baggage, those parts of our past that weigh heavy on us. Or maybe we don’t have anything particularly dark in our past, but there is still some aspect about ourselves that we don’t like. There’s a part of our psyche deep down that we don’t like. Are we too vain? Afraid of spiders? Awful memories that threaten to seep into our waking life? This is a game that explores that part of ourselves.
You play a character who for some reason or another (your gm will help you with this) has learned how to, and has obtained employment in, the business of shared dreams. In this dark near future, a device has been created that allows us to share a portion of our consciousness and subconsciousness in a dream that multiple people can share. You can decide how this device looks and operates. But, the general rule of thumb is to make it mobile. This process has multiple applications: military, medical, criminal, law enforcement, intelligence. The downside is that you bring all those negative parts of our psyche with you, and they can manifest in troublesome and in some cases, terrifying ways.
The Nightmare Pool is the constant, in-game reminder that your horrors are coming. The GM may pull and spend from this pool at any time. And you will HAVE to feed it to proceed.
