Guildbook: Sandmen is a splatbook for Wraith: The Oblivion detailing the Sandmen, users of Phantasm.
Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Where Do Dreams Go When They Die?
- "So, little dead man, have you come to join our masque? Welcome to the play that never ends, the dream that dreams itself through eternity. Once upon a time, I though that Life was Art and Art was Life. Now I know better. And you will too." — Malaika Singleton, Night Angel of Philadelphia
- Only the Living Can Awaken From This Dream!
- When you close your eyes, they're waiting for you. As soon as you start to dream, you belong to them. Patiently they wait to take your soul on gossamer wings, to show it splendors you can scarcely imagine and terrors you can barely comprehend. And when your entertainment is over, theirs begins. Sweet dreams...
- Guildbook: Sandmen is the second in a series of Guildbooks for Wraith: The Oblivion. Journey with the wraiths of dream as they mine the phantasmagorias of mortals for inspiration. See with them the splendors of the Theater of the Dead. Tremble as they rip screaming souls from sleeping bodies. All of the secrets of the Sandmen are here, if you dare to learn them.
