Once again, really solid work from BTRC.

Not only you get a great rules for "dreaming" in EABA, but also an excellent setting to use them, that's also really easy to bring to existing campaigns.

If you have any intrest in "dreamworlds", this is a MUST. Even if you don't like EABA (for some really strange reason...), this sourcebook will give you a lot to think about.

Nocturne is the reason I bought EABA - I wanted to run a good, dream-based setting with a decent set of rules.

I was definitely not disappointed. The integration of the dream world into the mundane is very well handled. The dream-specific skills work well in practice - my players had great fun trying to invent tactics that would achieve their desired results in the dream world.

I know that the author - Greg Porter - calls himself "infrastructure guy" but he write really interesting settings. (See my comments on Ythrek also.)

The details of the dream setting, and the antagonists - the mysterious Others - are very well written and make many possible plotlines leap out at me. Most enjoyable; highly recommended. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Everything.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Having bought Nocturne when it was first released, I've only just gotten around to reading through it ... and, like all BTRC products, it is a quality effort and a very well done implementation of their EABA ruleset. As is often the case with BTRC products, the topic is rather "off the wall" ... a world-wide conspiracy of "dreamers" somewhat similar to PIG's "Ubidden" (but only somewhat), or like WW's "Wraith" (but even less so) crossed with Mage (maybe a little).

The rules are well presented and, importantly, work well, and the background detail is top notch. If you like a somewhat dark and mysterious modern day setting that is quite different from the usual thud and blunder genre, then Nocturne is it. And there's plenty of thud and blunder, too - just of a slightly more refined and intellectual nature :-)

Well worth the money!
