WILD is cool, and during RPGaDAY 2026 I enjoyed sharing a week of posts about it and how it expresses characters. The Umbramancer YouTube channel has a nice breakdown of the rules of the game as well.
Give WILD a whirl. It's dreamy~

I’m rubbish at self promotion, but I thought I’d remind everyone that WILD is still available from various online places like Drivethru and the lovely folk at Compose Dreams. As is the companion Tarot deck to use with it!
It’a an RPG of dreamshare tech that can also be played solo.

Yes, I'm sure Sanction would be up to the task. If you read www.boreders.com during RPGaDay this year, you'll have seen half a dozen different genres of game come to life.
I'll give it some thought.
