Dreams
I noted that you have some dream intreasts - I would greatly enjoy your acumen on the Yatri Spectre, especially the dream mechanics at the bottom of the page. --Franken Kesey 02:08, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I found dreams to be an interesting "power source" and latched onto it. I'm somewhat familiar with the Region of Dreams and I like the idea quite a bit, not in the least because of some of the writings of H. P. Lovecraft. As they are now, my creatures don't work very well with that though. I may rework or reflavour it significantly. -- Lexmechanic 04:30, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * How would you rework the mechanics? The dream flavor is based on Majipoor Series, by Robert Silverberg, have you read them? I have not gotton into H. P. Lovecraft yet, though I have been meaning to, could you suggest a good starting book? --Franken Kesey 04:46, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, I have only read one of his books. It was a compilation of short stories dealing with the Dreamlands setting which he invented. It was entitled The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, I believe.
 * As for the reworking, stealing dreams makes little sense when dreams are a physical place elsewhere in the multiverse. It would make more sense to use the dreamer as a conduit through which energy is syphoned from their dreamscape. This necessarily results in the local dreamscape becoming desolate and hostile. As the process continues, the risk to the dreamer increases exponentially, until he is finally slain and his dreamself consumed. Something along those lines. -- Lexmechanic 19:38, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
