Shadows and Dreams [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
Have you ever seen something lurking in the Shadows, or woke and still had the Dream lingering. Are you one of the mortals touched by the Other realm, born out of time, out of sync with the rest of reality. Walking and dealing with everyday tasks but wondering how others find fulfillment in this world.
Then you see it, catch a glimpse of another world, you feel it, the Other reality lurking just under the veneer of this life. This is your story, this is the story of when you opened that door, or pulled back that shade, did you find Shadows or Dreams... or Both?
----------------------------------------------------
Shadows and Dreams is a mythpunk urban fantasy game based on the idea of ordinary people in a magical world. It centers around students, artists, children, vagrants, shopkeepers and so forth who encounter the Other realm in the shadows of their own. Inspired by authors like De Lint and Gaiman or films like Labyrinth or Dark City.
Shadows and Dreams use Word of Darkness system based on improvisational theater. The setting deals with the affairs of mortals and some fantasy creatures. The game is to emphasize a feeling of strange beauty, and the game was designed for loose-rule gamer, non-gamer, and fantasy fans turned off by legalistic rules systems.

I would prefer most players to have a sense of who the character is before you create them. You can start as just a mortal and have powers revealed through play if you wish, just talk to me as a GM.
If you would prefer to start with a vampire, mage, werewolf, or other creature, let me know and I would want some backstory on your creation and perhaps to rp some of that with you.
All character creation will follow the rule of cool.
