Dream Thief
A one-page roleplaying game of surreal heists and fragile belief.
Belief is your weapon. Doubt is your doom.
Premise
You are a dream thief, an infiltrator of minds, slipping through the lucid dreamscape of a powerful sleeping wizard.
Your mission: steal a glowing Memory Orb from the wizard’s inner sanctum before your sense of self unravels.
But in this shifting world, belief shapes reality. Doubt too much, and the dream dissolves around you. Lose yourself completely, and you’ll be trapped forever—a forgotten nightmare echo in the wizard’s subconscious.
Gameplay
Dream Thief is a storytelling RPG of surreal exploration, identity, and imagination, playable in under an hour.
It’s designed for solo or multiplayer play, requiring only a die and a vivid imagination.
Face impossible dream logic, cling to your beliefs, and see if you can make it out with your mind—and the Memory Orb—intact.
