Adventure Campaign

Little is known of the ancient vale, but one thing is certain: it's a twisted mind that has dreamt up this primordial place!



Dreams & Dread presents a complete adventure campaign that takes the heroes from level 2-10 as they delve into the Vale of Ur to uncover what sleeps in the deep, dark heart of the jungle. A harrowing, surreal, and tense quest that combines epic stakes with quirky NPCs and whimsical encounters.

The adventure campaign can also be split into 7+ adventure modules that can be run as one-shot adventures or plugged into an existing 5E campaign – and adjusted to the party's level and playstyle!


Camp Dream's Edge lies at the edge of the vale's dark jungles and provides a comfortable – albeit quite eccentric – backdrop for the party's epic adventures in the vale!

Dream Mechanics

Get rules and guidelines to make dreams one of the most flexible and powerful tools in your DM toolkit!


Dreams & Dread introduces guidelines for running Dreamscapes and when and how to use dream encounters – as well as plug-and-play dream scenarios that make the story more personal and immersive for the players.

Need a way to break up the monotony of travel, but a random road encounter wouldn't make sense? Conjure up a dream quest with real consequences!

Want to explore a character's background or their bond with a deity? There's no better way than with a quick and exciting dream encounter!

Need to introduce the villain or the adventure's stakes, but don't want to bore your players with mindless exposition? Take them to a Dreamscape that can reveal the past, present, and possible future!

Brave adventurers venture into the eye of the Evergazing One, where dreams and dread await...

Player Options

The Anthari are flowery humanoids who wield primordial power. More plant than human, they can seem alien and aloof – but as long as they get enough light and water, they should get along with the rest of the party just fine.



Dreams & Dread includes new subclasses, species, feats, and spells for 5E D&D. Wield the power of the subconscious as a bard from the College of Dreams or play as the wild Anthari, who are as beautiful as they are deadly.

With new spells that turn dreams into reality or pluck nightmares straight from unwitting victims' minds, the heroes will have plenty of new stuff to play with!
Somnari elves and bards from the College of Dreams are both masters of making dreams come true – and if you combine the two, there's no saying what'll happen!

Monsters & Magic Items

The Delirium Dragon is just one of the many reality-bending, mind-addling, surreal monsters that inhabit the Vale of Ur!


Dreams & Dread is packed full with 30+ unreal monsters to haunt the players' nightmares – in more ways than one! 

Beware the dreaded Delirium Dragon, whose mastery of the metaphysical extends to the minds of those it seeks to devour, and stay well clear of the Oneiroi Dreamkeeper, lest you find yourself in a dream you'll never wake from.

Grab the 40+ magic items in Dreams & Dread as handy tarot-sized card handouts!


From the handy Dream Journal that lets the heroes keep track of their subconscious adventures to the dreaded Blade of Recurring Nightmares, Dreams & Dread has treasures beyond the heroes' wildest dreams.
