I'm actually reading this thanks to the bunch of references to this play in Mothership's "A Pound of Flesh" module !

I've been wanting to discover this game ever since I heard of OSR RPGs : "Old School Renaissance", or "Old School Revival" depending on who you ask.

I'm planning on using the system for a game soon, but as far as reading this book, this was one of the best TTRPG books layout I've experienced so far !

My introduction to Ursula K Le Guin. I'll be sure to read more of her works ! This book is what brought me back to reading :3

Full spoiler free review here : system-failure.trbn.xyz/lathe-of-heaven-wip/ [...] “Reality is an odd choice of word, when all that shapes it is a dream”, thinks the jellyfish.

We meet George Orr in the middle of an overdose. Whilst society deems him an addict, his issue is one much greater than that : he is a Dreamer.

His bed is a boat with no helm to speak of, and as he catches odd things shift in the world behind his eyes, so too does reality shape itself anew. The change terrifies him.

Should Orr attempt to swim ? Should Orr dream with intent, for the betterment of humankind, to become the Lathe of a heaven of his own making ? Or should Orr rid himself of this terrible and frightening power ? “Worse…” he thinks. “if my dreams have such potency… what will come with my nightmares ?”

My first introduction to Madeline Miller. I would recommend it to any who would be interested, though content warning : Marital Rape.
