History

The Dreamworld Saga

The Dreamworld Saga first began many years ago, with a really melodramatic story I wrote in high school about several teenagers (based on me and my friends) trapped inside a world of dreams. It didn't really go anywhere until 1997, when I began roleplaying Ariana in Rivendell. Pretty soon an entire storyline grew around her, and thus began the new incarnation of The Dreamworld Saga! People seem to love the concept and the characters, and new characters are joining all the time—we even have a spinoff storyline about a new race of nightmares, and even a video game in the works! Even though we haven't done much actual roleplaying in a long time, it seems that The Dreamworld Saga will only continue to get better, more popular, and more fun. ^_^


Setting

The Dreamworld Saga actually covers quite a variety of settings—it takes place in three different worlds! Well, to be honest, I'm not sure how I plan to work that in the novel. I know that the real world will play a part, and then much of the novel will take place in the Dreamworld; I may also include another world or two, probably a medieval fantasy world of some sort. Anyway, the Dreamworld itself is the world that people glimpse when they dream. Most people don't actually go there, and it takes powerful magic to cross from a world into the Dreamworld. The Dreamworld touches all worlds, and all dreamers glimpse it when they dream. Almost anything can exist in the Dreamworld. Reflections of other worlds, impossible places, things that couldn't exist anywhere else...anything. Dreams themselves take on many forms; some are places, some are things, some are creatures—even people. Some dreams have a set form, and others do not, taking their form from the ideas in the dreamer's mind. The Dreamworld is a land of endless mysteries, and by the end of the novel, Ariana has barely begun to unlock them...

Our Story So Far

The story of our roleplaying storyline begins much like the novel; it first started after the end of the novel, when Ariana first found her way to RavensDale after being the Dreamworld's Guardian for two years. Since then (almost four years ago, real time), sooooo much has happened! Here you'll find summaries of everything that's happened in our storyline.

Characters

Wow, I'd forgotten just how many characters there are in our roleplaying storyline! ^_^ To make things a little more organized, I've divided things into sections. The three main characters each have their own page, but there are also pages for dream characters, villains, and all Ariana's other friends. And, as always, you can find lots more information about these characters, and several others as well, in the story section.

Artwork and Goodies

There are a lot of stories, poems, music, and artwork inspired by The Dreamworld Saga, too much to list here until I get it all organized! But until then, you can find what I've got up on the site in the individual sections for poetry, music, art, etc. Stories to be posted as soon as I get around to putting them into html format. Thanks for your patience! ^_~

If you just can't wait, check out Ryan's page for The Dreamworld Saga Online, a multiplayer online roleplaying game we're making, using the Well of Souls game engine. It promises to be a lot of fun if we ever get it finished! If you'd like to help out, go browse the page and see what we need. Arigatou!

How to join:
Well, DWS is kind of on hold and has been for a pretty long time, except for a few sporadic sessions every couple months or so. However, I do hope we can get it going again, perhaps in the summer. If you're interested, send me an email!
