Wakeside: What Dreams May Run is a game about capturing a run away dream whose escape into the waking world threatens to shatter all sanity. You play a Wish, Figment, Nightmare, or a Lucid who uses dream magic to track, and trap your target. #pocketquest2025

I made a thing for #PocketQuest2025! If you want to play a game where you're a superpowered Dreamwarden protecting their city from enroaching nightmares in an astral plane, then this one is for you.

Banner for "I Could Do This In My Sleep," with the tagline: "They stole your every waking hour, now they want the rest." A outline of a head tipped back with mouth flopped open. In place of the eye, a disc radiating beams of red, white and blue light.

A two page spread. On the left-hand page, a selection of superhuman cybernetic powers, followed by a red and blue highlighted art work of a delivery biker performing the Akira bike slide. On the right-hand page, a similarly styled image of a armed and armoured security guard walking by a man lying on the ground, and a girl in the background making a derogatory two-fingered gesture.

A two-page spread featuring short descriptions and icons for several factions in the game. The left-hand page is brightly coloured and describes anti-authoritarian groups, while the right-hand page is dull and describes a combination of government entities and supporters.

☁️In "A Familiar Dream", you are a Familiar. Your Mage is stuck dreaming and only you (and possibly other Familiars) can save the day!
