	reviews
	Customers who purchased the original version of the Book of Broken Dreams (released in 2002) gave it an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 and said: "... I really liked this book, and hope to use a lot of chapter 2 and 3, as well as some of the spells... This is really good value, considering the good quality of the non-mechanic aspects of the rules." "This d20 supplement provides not only a real-world explanation of and usable game mechanisms for topics like personality types, stress, and insanity, but also includes a number of psychologically inspired spells, three similarly inspired prestige classes (the Dream Weaver, the Lunatic, and the Mentalist), as well as a template for Nightmare Creatures....it will also add a darker and more realistic turn to a fantasy setting..."
