For less than the price of a cup of coffee I picked up Liber Sodalitas: The Dream Healers by Lonnie Ezell (from Dragons Landing I presume) and I am here to spread gossip about the product.

The 9 page PDF begins with a fantastic color illustration of a Dream Healer by Anthony Cournoyer. Surrounding the picture you have a handsomely laid out text consisting of background & history regarding the Dream Healers. It flows from the history to the Tenets and then moves into the organization of this society of mystic monks. The remaining 5 pages have class information, tools, a few interesting items and a small guide for campaign implementation.

The information is a little sparce, not going to deep into any one aspect of the Dream Healers keeping it loose for interpretation. And that is great for my personal game style.

The class of the Dream Healer would be an awesome one for a RP heavy game. When you finish all 9 pages your mind immediately begins thinking of how this might work in your game. As a concept I think Lonnie Ezell has given a GM something to really spice up a game. I can imagine as some point in a RP heavy game a character seeing something so horrific & awful that they just shut down. No normal healing can bring about a change in this person; he is scarred by the horror of what he saw. And thus enters the Dream Healers. I?m not going to go into detail as to what they can do (download the book), but let me just say it would make a epic moment in any campaign and I promise you that your players will remember it for it?s uniqueness.

The only places I can see for improvement are perhaps a few more ideas on Lonnie?s part with how to implement this book in your game both as a story hook and as a player class. As it stands it has only 3 paragraphs. Also maybe some ideas on/for antagonists in the dream world would be neat. Lonnie wrote a little about this but it needs further expanding. I recall 2nd edition MM appendix 3 or 3 had a handful of monsters and horrors that drifted in the ether of dreams. So I recommend you looking those up and updating them to D20 for your game.

In any case my critiques are minor problems as Liber Sodalitas: The Dream Healers is another damn good product. The layout is easy on the eyes, artwork is nice and the ideas are pure gold. This module is a great way to ?pimp? a campaign (as Lonnie would put it). So do yourself a favor and lay off the Starbucks coffee for one day, support an independent game maker. Pick yourself up this book.

Next up Liber Sodalitas: The Pneumaphagoi

Enjoy,
