5 Minutes into the Future - Vol 1.2 - Dream Incubator

Horizon scanning real tech for your game

“Top notch... Solid, clear and extremely cool” Meguey Baker (Lumpley Games, co-creator of Apocalypse World) on issue 1 of 5MF.

What is Five Minutes into the Future? (5MF)

5MF is a zine scanning the horizon for cutting edge technologies being developed in the real-world right now. Each issue will present one piece of nu-tech and some ways that you can use it in your roleplaying games.


This Issue:

Volume 1.2 features the Dream Incubator, a device that can influence people's dreams.

Inside you'll find details of: 

• how the technology works in real life,
• a mind-twisting heist setting,
• a darkened-mirror cyberpunk setting where every smart device uses the technology to advertise in your dreams,
• a techno-horror setting where the manipulated dreams are used to deliver a ritual that frees a dream-demon, and
• a post-apocalypse setting where linked dreams cause the collapse of the human shared psyche and the birth of a maelstrom.

And lots more!

With added crunch for using the technology in your:

• D20,
• Fate, and
• Apocalypse World (PbtA) games.

5MF is largely system neutral, and presents ideas suitable for a variety of modern and near future genres, including:

• 
modern,

• heist, 
• espionage, 

• technoir, 

• near future, 

• superhero, 

• cyberpunk, 

• modern horror, 

• hard sci-fi, and

• (post)-apocalyptic.
