The aim of this game is:
- to help those who have seen this man in their dreams and to foster communication among them.
- to understand who this man is and why he appears in an apparently pattern-less array of situations in the dreams of such diverse human subjects.
- to prevent the potentially malicious agenda of this man in our slumbering minds and any attempts to breach the wall into waking life.
Ever Dream This Man? (EDTM)
is a horror roleplaying game for 1-6 players. In it, you explore your dreams and nightmares constantly invaded by one ominous being who you will watch, evade, fear, and eventually confront in your sleep. Players work together to describe and define this being in ever-changing dreamscapes influenced by tarot cards and a collaborative playlist you create during play.
To play, you need these rules, a shared drawing space with utensils, a tarot deck separated into the four minor arcana suits and the major arcana, a way to listen to music together, and 1+ players.
If you don't wish to make your own playlist, here is one I made using the tarot prompts, hit shuffle and play:

After all, what is roleplaying if not a form of collective dreaming?
This is fascinating stuff. Since I first read about the phenomenon, the “This Man” of real life has always stuck with me. This Game is a very neat exploration of that uncanny, liminal sensation using tarot. But what really sets it apart is the use of music to explore those hard to reach emotional places.
