Arkham Horror RPG: Setting Guide - Dreams of Kingsport

Step into the mysterious town of Kingsport and the surreal Dreamlands in the first setting guide for the Arkham Horror RPG! This 160-page book introduces a new character archetype – the Dreamer, the Favor mechanic, twelve mini-mysteries, new gear, relics, and rules for sailing the seas and skies.

It also includes the adventure Dream Manifest, over a dozen new NPCs, a deep dive into Ancient Ones, and a double-sided map for immediate play.

The book is in English.

And now it’s time to cue the ominous drumming and cultish chanting as I introduce a brand-new product type: our first setting guide, Dreams of Kingsport!

Inside this 160-page hardcover book you’ll find lore for both the iconic, mist-shrouded town of Kingsport, Massachusetts and the fabled and bizarre realm of the Dreamlands. In a series of future articles I’ll give you a more detailed peek at each of the chapters of the book, but for now here are some of the highlights to whet your appetite for more Arkham Horror RPG content:

• A brand-new archetype for players to use: the dreamer, an adept visionary who can find inspiration in even the most horrifying of moments. Includes an entire new roster of knacks for the dreamer to tap into.
• A dozen mini-mysteries to spark inspiration and give GMs a place to start when featuring many of the different locations introduced in the Kingsport and Dreamlands chapters.
• New equipment, relics, tomes, and the addition of ship profiles and guidance on sailing, whether at sea or in the skies!
• The introduction of a new type of reward that investigators may encounter on their adventures–favor, a mechanic that gives special perks for winning the approval of certain people and creatures.
• Over a dozen new NPC profiles that include both classic Arkham Horror enemies and potential allies as well as all-new Dreamlands-inspired entities and creatures.
• A deeper look into two Ancient Ones mentioned in the Core Rulebook, plus the inclusion of a new Other World and an Ancient One we haven’t previously introduced into the RPG.
• An adventure, Dream Manifest, that features both Kingsport and the Dreamlands, so GMs and players can dive right into the new setting materials!
• One double-sided poster map and one smaller double-sided battlemap (the battlemap is included to enhance the included Dream Manifest adventure).
