[Gonzalo · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have always loved the Dreamlands setting, even before reading the Randolph Carter cycle, and I do not think I was aware of this book until I found it in a store under a pile of old RPGs. You can imagine it was a very pleasant surprise, but then I put it under another pile of books…until today. Without having played it (or any adventure set in the Dreamlands), The Dreaming Stone feels to me less like a proper campaign, and more like a tool to build your own campaign around. Mostly because there are a lot of random encounters, which are good to give a sense of time and a scale of the world, but which do not add much to the already relatively simple plot. Since the story takes place all around the Dreamlands and back, I think it is a great excuse to explore the world and add a few adventures from other books. But once the investigators are back in the walking world, the ending is surprisingly positive. Yes, you could end a CoC campaign almost better than how you started.
