Wonderland Dreamscape

GM

Lando (they/any)

I'm a queer Dungeon Master with over a year of experience crafting imaginative, inclusive, and immersive adventures. From character-driven tales to mind-bending worlds, I create stories that encourage players to explore their identities and think outside the box. I love weaving narratives that challenge the norm and celebrate diversity. As a DM, I’m all about collaborative storytelling and making sure everyone at the table has a chance to shine.

City of Mist

Theme

Dark fantasy, surreal

Gameplay

Here's the lowdown: City of Mist is set in a modern city where legends are real people. Heroes, tricksters, and monsters are reborn inside ordinary people, regular Joes and Janes, who gain supernatural powers connected to their legendary alter-egos.

This is your City: gritty, corrupt, and rife with magic and mystery.

Summary

The world is not as it seems. In the twisting alleys, beneath the neon lights, and just beyond the edge of perception, lies a place known only to those who dare to lose themselves. It’s a realm where up is down, reason is madness, and reality folds in on itself: Wonderland.

Your characters live seemingly ordinary lives in the sprawling metropolis. Yet, each of them harbors a slumbering myth, a whisper from another world—an echo of the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, or the Queen of Hearts. They are drawn into a twisted version of Wonderland that flickers in and out of their city, a world where logic falters, and the line between friend and foe is blurred.

Strange happenings haunt the city: people vanishing down hidden paths, symbols appearing on walls, messages in mirrors that vanish with the light. Each of these threads leads your characters deeper into Wonderland, a dreamscape ruled by twisted reflections of their own mythic powers. The land is ruled by a tyrant known only as the Red Queen, a mysterious and dangerous figure who manipulates reality itself. She seeks something buried deep in the characters' memories—something that could tip the scales of power in her favor, plunging the city into everlasting chaos.
