With apologies for last week’s delay, we are back on track with today’s readthrough of the last Changeling-focused Dark Era in the first collection, A Grimm Dark Era.

Il était une fois… as we proceed through the historical dives in the first Dark Eras volume, we arrive at the next one for Changeling: the Lost—and the first one that is only for that game, though certainly no one could object if an enterprising Storyteller felt like squeezing in a random Promethean.

Another week, another exploration of nWoD/CofD crossover. This time, with an eye to the upcoming Dark Eras, we’re taking a look at Vampire: the Requiem and approaches to integrating it with Changeling: the Lost.
