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. There are some thematic similarities: both vampires and changelings are parasites in different ways, both have a tricksy relationship with time […]

The time has come to put aside the old new World of Darkness and move into the Chronicles of Darkness, as we read through the God-Machine rules update. This is the back half of the God-Machine Chronicle released in 2013, which revised and expanded the rules for nWoD’s first edition and would later become the

A wild CROSSOVER appears…! Soon enough, we’ll be getting into the historical Dark Eras settings for Changeling: the Lost, some of which involve pairings with other games in the new World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness line. We’ll be moving through this semi-chronologically, and the first one on our list involves Geist: the Sin-Eaters, our topic

This week, we turn once more to the wonderful world of media as we consider ten films for Changeling: the Lost inspiration. We did this previously with Changeling: the Dreaming (check out episode 50!), so it seemed like the right time to pull a similar for the other fae game. There are a couple crossover

Rounding out our series of “blue books” from the first edition of new World of Darkness, today we’re covering Glimpses of the Unknown, a rather brief assortment of story hooks, crunchy tidbits, and setting expansion for all the extant game lines at that point. And when we say “brief,” we mean 48 pages, with lots

Through the looking glass we go, as we consider other shapes the World of Darkness might take. A collection to spark ideas along the way is World of Darkness: Mirrors for first edition nWoD, whose pages we’re riffling this time around. Alternate systems, alternate settings, and a whole lot of Storyteller insights fill these pages,

Good things come to those who wait… so forgive us for the day of delay, but we are back with a discussion of Proverbial Monsters. This slim bestiary of creatures inspired by sayings and superstitions seemed like a natural follow-up to our dive into Urban Legends. It’s not specifically a Changeling book, but most or

And so, with some variable amount of fanfare, we are taking a deep breath and plunging into Season Five. Taking a machete to the wilderness of nWoD, we are beginning by carving a path from the last books of Changeling: the Lost’s first edition towards the Hedge of the second, tackling various other books and

And thus we come once again to a moment of pause in our madcap readings, as winter’s chill settles over the land (in this bit of the world, anyway). We may have an episode or three up our sleeves in the coming weeks, but assume that things will be fairly quiet until about mid-February—so we

Ahoy ahoy! We’ve moved forward to step back (in time) as we reach, at long last, the final supplement for Changeling: the Lost’s first edition, Victorian Lost. This short-ish volume nevertheless packs in the information as the one historical book for the line, although we will get some shorter bits in the Dark Eras sequence
