Plot summary

In ''The Speaker in Dreams'', the town of Brindinford is besieged by evil forces under the command of Ghaerleth Axom. A street fair is interrupted by an attack, which serves as a distraction for the villain's forces to attack the keep of the local baron. This provides an entry point for the player characters into the main quest to discover the secret alliances trying to take over the town. ''The Speaker in Dreams'' is an event-based, rather than site-based, adventure.

Publication history

''The Speaker in Dreams'' was published in 2001, and was written by James Wyatt, with cover art by Jeff Easley and interior art by Dennis Cramer.

Reception

The reviewer from '' Pyramid'' commented that unlike ''The Sunless Citadel'' and ''The Forge of Fury'', "this isn't solely a site-based encounter. That's right, there's more than just running around the dungeon this time." ''Dungeon Master for Dummies'' lists ''The Speaker in Dreams'' as one of the ten best 3rd edition adventures.
