Corporate’s grand vision for Prospero’s Mall & Outlet came from a faulty old AI. And Lucid-AR was the result: a glorified, expensive workaround for holograms; running on a brittle, inexperienced, code-generated backend. It was doomed from the start.

Hackers exploited it until the whole thing went rogue, taking a life of its own and  has been consuming it all ever since: stores, hallways, even visitors. The rumors of holo-horrors trapping people in liminal spaces, killed the mall for good.

Yet, such infrastructure is a place of dreams for street crews—skaters, BMX, rollerbladers, graffiti. That's why some sectors are being taken over by such crews, fending off the rogue AR tech, inadvertently keeping it from escaping its containment in this mall.


L.D. your mall tour guide.

What can you find inside Lucid Dreaming?

Lucid Dreaming is structured to be a place rather than a set adventure, a sandbox that your players can explore and where different types of stories can develop. It also has an overarching doomsday clock, ticking away and affecting every corner of the mall.

So with this in mind, here's what to expect:

  • 8 different zones built on the ruins of the mall. Each with hooks, tension clocks, "at a glance" descriptions, and how Lucid-AR manifests in there, as well as a little "Now Playing..." widget to set the mood with some tunes!
    • Zone Tension Clocks. The chaos spreads, failure and stress stimulates it to keep consuming
    • Lucid-AR present, it's not all that bad, some of it manifests as illusions or echoes of the past, but be careful when interacting with it.
  • Lucid-AR spreads. Careful when coming into contact with this rogue tech, it can be dangerous and you could end up making it spread further, even putting in danger members of the crew
  • 5 street crews, each with their area of expertise—Breakdancing, skating, bmx, hip hop and rollerblading. (Non-violent) ways to earn rep, hooks and roll tables. Each with custom made graffiti made by Colombian graffiti artists!
  • 1 new AR Horror to mess with your player's reality, trap them in infinite hallways, recreate deep memories, make them explore liminal places, or even take them on a completely different adventure from there!
  • Bunch of rollable tables!
