Hello, readers! My name is Charles Williams. Daydreams is a new adventure for me. For years, I've been neglecting what I feel is a fundamental drive within myself. I love to write, to create and to tell stories, and to share them with people. I've created Daydreams as a place where I can share my short stories with … Continue reading Dawn of the First Day
Link’s Psionic Handbook: Talents
Talents are, effectively, the psionic equivalent to spells: specialized effects you can manifest by shaping the energies of your mind. This list of talents is used by the Paragon and by the other classes found in Link’s Psionic Handbook. Enjoy!
Link’s Psionic Handbook
Greetings! I posted a bit of a teaser a few days ago for a project on which I have spent a great deal of time: a collection of content for 5th edition focused on a system of psionics, and a collection of new classes which use that system. I return today with more content. Hopefully, … Continue reading Link’s Psionic Handbook
Link’s Psionic Handbook: The Paragon
Greetings, Readers! I have been silent here for some time, but today, I come to you with a preview from one of my current projects: my handbook of psionic classes for 5th edition. There's more yet to come, but please feel welcome to let me know what you think so far.
Haunted
I am haunted by a ghost. It is not a particularly malicious ghost. It's not the type that wakes me up in the night, sweating and panicking with fear at an unexplained weight on my chest. It's not the type you'd see in a horror movie, one that makes me fear going into dark places … Continue reading Haunted
Visitor
Wake. Sleep. Doze. Sleep. Wake. The moments of true wakefulness came so far apart, and so briefly, that they seemed nonexistent. Even when he managed to pull himself from the depths of drowsiness that had enveloped him, he caught only glimpses of the world: His room, in the dark of night, with only the stars … Continue reading Visitor
Leoth’s Last Night
Leoth had been building up this moment in his mind for weeks. He had idly considered this course of action several times over the last few years, but it was only in recent times that he had finally made up his mind. The notion that he might stay here forever had become unbearable. It was … Continue reading Leoth’s Last Night
An Announcement
You may have noticed that the quantity — and, arguably, the quality — of my entries has decreased in recent months. If you haven't, well, I have, and I've looking inward to seek a solution to that for quite some time. For now, I am putting Daydreams on hiatus in order to refocus and reorient … Continue reading An Announcement

There are rules, in this world, and there are consequences for breaking them. Some rules, like those of physics, are woven into the fabric of the world itself. Some are part of the social contract forged, over time and experience, by beings as they interact with one another. Some are impressed upon us by governing … Continue reading More Interesting
The One Who Fails
I tend to think of my life as defined by my mistakes. There are more of them than successes, so it’s easier, in a way, because it’s so much easier to think of times that I’ve messed up than it is to think of times I’ve done the right thing. Mistakes are a part of … Continue reading The One Who Fails
Insidious
Home is insidious. It sneaks up on you in ways you don’t expect, becoming a part of you even if you never asked for it. I don’t like it. I don’t like feeling attached to things, and I don’t like it when things happen without my consent. Nobody does. I didn’t want to live in … Continue reading Insidious
