I'm not really an HPL scholar, but I am a big ol' fangirl. I don't think Oz had any influence on Dream-Quest. Aside from the theme of homecoming, the works are quite dissimilar. Carter is Lovecraft's autobiographical character (see especially The Silver Key), and Dream-Quest plays heavily on Lovecraft's devotion to New England, childhood nightmares, and general wish to have lived in an idealized past.
Anyway, I'm eagerly awaiting my DVD. I'm glad Randy ran that ad; I hadn't given a thought to Mock Man since NecronomiCon '01. Jason Thompson, the artist, is a good artist and GM, and I am happy to give him more money.
