First things first, hello you there my dear reader! Hope you're having a good day.

I admit I stole this title from u/epzi10n, but it was so playful I couldn't resist. But enough small talks, let's see if I could let you feel introduced.

Introduction

Land of Wonder is a domino-driven roleplaying game about children, known as Lost Ones, winding up eerily into a surreal dreamscape world, liberally inspired by a mixture of sources like Alice in Wonderland, Spirited Away, and Coraline.

The Lost Ones will spend a single long night together, drifting in and out of a troubled sleep, alternating surreal shared lucid Dreamscapes and the scary Darkness when they happen to be briefly half-awake.

Will they see the bright light of the morning sun again, or will they choose to stay behind in the Land of Wonder?

You may like the game if…

• ... You want to play a kid character alongside their friends and see them grow as they deal with real-life problems.
• ... You like stories like The Chronicles of Narnia, Peter Pan, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Over the Garden Wall, and many others!
• ... You love when your character's backstory gets woven into the narrative of the game.
• ... You're intrigued by the idea of playing a surreal Portal Fantasy game with oniric rules of reality.
• ... You are curious how this game uses bag-building mechanics and domino pieces instead of dice!

Considerations

I've run the first two batches of playtest sessions and the game is shaping up to be very neat!

You can read rest of the first chapter if you want, that is a 3 pages and a half long doc document still without a proper layout, here and look the very pretty iterated alpha version of the character creation section here. Those are supposed to be read back to back.

I'd love to hear your thougths!
