Evera Prime Was Once a Paradise
What Will You Make it?

Dreams and Machines is a brand new RPG setting where people come together to rebuild their world following a catastrophic war. You will venture into a world of mystery and adventure, a world where slumbering mechs dot the landscape and people build their lives anew in the wreckage of paradise. Take on the role of one of the new tribes of humanity, an Archivist, Dreamer, Everan, River, or Spear, and forge a path for yourself and your people.

The war against the machines was 200 years ago, but many threats from that era abound, along with others, like raiding parties of Thralls from the deep ruins, that have arisen in the intervening years. The machines are dormant, but they sometimes awake, causing death and destruction until they are stopped. Hideous, mutated, creatures infest the landscape, vicious byproducts of the war. Ghostly nanograms lurk in the ruins promising knowledge or luring the unwary to their deaths.

Yet against all this, humanity is rebuilding. People live full, happy lives despite the threats that assail them. Cooperation and mutual aid are everywhere, humans coming together to build something new amid the ruins of the past.

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. As the danger grows and the world is under threat once more, do you dare to dream?

Violet U. ★★★★★

The cooperative world-building mechanics are the heart of this book, and the way it frames rebuilding society after the war actually makes you think about what your group wants to create together. The artwork and lore sections for Evera Prime are gorgeous and really set the tone for hopeful, post-ca

David L. ★★★★★

The collaborative world-building angle's been covered, but I was really drawn to the post-war rebuilding premise — it gave my group a reason to care about every ruined landmark we discovered. The book's layout makes it easy to jump straight into creating a shared vision of Evera Prime's future.
