10/18/10: Winter 2010-2011 Conventions

The Impossible Dream will be running games at Rochester Gamers Community 4th Quarter Games Day 2010 (wow, that's a mouthful) and Con of the North 2011.

9/28/10: The Impossible Dream now has a Facebook page

Don't worry--our website will continue to get attention. But the nifty tools available make it much easier to put short, timely updates there. Anything important will show up both places, so if Facebook isn't your thing, don't worry. But if you want a little more content, check it out.

9/1/10: Dread now available in PDF!

Hopefully "better late than never" applies in these circumstances, but here it finally is. So, whether you've been patiently waiting for the PDF edition, can't afford the cost of the print book, or just want a digital copy to take to slumber parties, now it can be yours. The text has been completely reformatted for US-letter paper, for easy home printing--and the margins are such that you should be able to squeeze it onto A4, too (or just shrink-to-fit, of course). Head on over to RPGNow or DriveThruRPG and pick up a copy. Or buy copies for all your friends.

8/20/10: We're not dead yet!

Despite appearances to the contrary, The Impossible Dream hasn't proved to be impossible--just a bit tricky. Various life changes and whatnot have slowed some of the production, but we've also spawned a new company, and gotten involved in some new ventures.

Most of Akira's time is now focused on Windmill Game Co., while Epidiah has been working with Imagination Sweatshop and founded his own company. Nat continues to plug away, when the opportunity presents itself. Dan and Bex have moved on to more-lucrative pastures.

8/14/06: Dread wins the Gold 2006 ENnie Innovation Award!
Well, we didn't win for Best Rules or Best Game, but we were pleasantly surprised--nay, stunned--to win the Gold ENnie for Innovation! Don't get me wrong, we always knew Dread was innovative and different than just about everything out there. We just didn't expect to actually win an award for it, especially when the ENnies rely on popular vote for most of their awards.

7/10/06:

Dread has been nominated for an ENnie!
Actually, it's been nominated for two and received Honourable Mention in a third category:

• Best Rules
• Best Game
• Best Product (Honourable Mention)

8/10/05: Gen Con Indy 2005 was a huge success for us. We finally had products for sale. A big "Thank You" to Ming Ling Enterprises who agreed to resell our products.

Dread is in print, and in our sweaty little hands. To get copies into your hands, check out your FLGS — lots of them have been stocking through IPR — or order online directly from us or from IPR. While you're waiting for it to arrive, you can whet your appetite for horror by checking out the Dread Quick Reference

We also have pre-release copies of character sheets for Advanced Dimensional Green-Ninja Educational Prepatory Super-Elementary Fortress 555. Get them here! If you've played our games at cons, and want to reproduce the wackiness in your own homes, these should have all you need — character stats, quick blurbs about the school and teachers, even a pair of teeny dice. And, we'll update the characters for free once the offical rules are released.
