You’d think that changelings would have enough headaches with the Huntsmen running around, but life is never easy in the Chronicles of Darkness, so why not some upstart mortals getting in on the fae-tracking action?

What does it mean to be a monster? While the Lost might certainly have an opinion or two (whether about themselves, their Keepers, or the other nightmares that stalk the Hedge), we turn this week to one of the more classic expressions of the concept: the constructed person, à la Frankenstein.

Part the Second! This time, we circle back once more through the Lost corebook as we examine new stuff in Second Edition (compared with the first).

And so we arrive at the Tome of Tomes, the Volume of Volumes, the Boondoggle of Boondoggles, that is the Changeling: the Lost Second Edition corebook. Because there’s way too much here to discuss in a single standard-length episode, we are splitting this into a trilogy. First is just a basic walkthrough: if you are

We live again.. again! In the spirit of the Autumn Court and their occasionally ill-advised sense of discovery, now that their season has come, so too has the moment where at last we dive headlong into the second edition of Changeling: the Lost.

Halfway through! Now that the actual play trilogy has concluded, it’s time for us to treat ourselves to a bit of a break… but of course, that doesn’t mean we’re putting everything on pause.
