Unlock the RPG Experience of your Dreams.
It’s so easy for the immersive magic of RPGs to get smothered by complex game math. That’s why we distilled a new role-playing game that runs on nothing but pure imagination. The Epic of Dreams unbinds fantasy roleplay, keeping math to a minimum, while pushing story, action, and drama to the forefront. As long as you can remember your backstory and just 2 core stats, you can even play without pens, paper, or dice!
Basilisk Edition Features:
Rules Light, Drama Heavy, Mythic Gameplay: Featuring in-character Soliloquies, the Epicsews “Story” and “Game Stats” together seamlessly. The Epic uses world mythology as a touchstone to breathe deep meaning into any setting you can dream.
The Circle of the Muse: Our “diceless-yet-d20-friendly” core mechanic where Hero players guess to match number ranges on our 20-point Circle of the Muse.
Distinct, Compelling Heroes: Every Hero has a unique story - with big dreams, dark secrets, and peculiar abilities. With the Epic, nothing is “just flavor”; every narrative detail about your Hero impacts your saga.
The Circles of Magic: A flexible magic engine that puts wonder and danger back into the arcane. No two rites are cast the same.
The Circle of War: Gripping, explosive combat scenes your friends will never forget. In war, nobody “gets a turn” - every moment is do or die.
The Muse Herself: The secret to mastering improvised gameplay, the Muse watches over your saga for entertainment, giving insights and inspiration to GMs and players alike!
A Treasure Trove of Sagacraft: With over 100 curated random tables and evergreen worldbuilding resources! Invaluable for any GM, and usable with any RPG.

The Language of Lore: With easy-to-master rules, every fantasy story, RPG supplement, and historical sourcebook becomes usable with the game. If you’ve got the lore, you’ve got it - zero prep needed.

Are there considerable changes compared to the version distributed through Exalted Funeral? Just asking so I don't make duplicate purchase. Amazing game.
Hello my friend! If you purchased the full-sized 2018 edition of the book (that version doesn't have any text printed on the spine), this edition is entirely updated and overhauled - 360 pages of GM resources, the rules have been codified much better, and the combat system has been overhauled as well.
Physical copies of this new Basilisk edition will be available soon, also on EF!
sounds good!
