00:00 / 1:17:55

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. The Dark Eras’ not-quite-second-edition-ness stands out most of all in this offering, and it’s… noteworthy. Set in early 19th-century Germany with the publication of the Grimms’ faerie […]

To welcome in the Seelie half of the year, behold! a surprise minisode. The original Dark Eras were accompanied by a fiction volume, Tales of the Dark Eras, featuring a number of short stories associated with the modules in the supplement. The entry “Of Ravens and Roses” is set in the 17th-century France of Lily,

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. In this

Time to hop in the ol’ time machine as we open (at long last) the first Dark Eras book for the Chronicles of Darkness…! These smaller modules cover specific moments and places around the world through history, presented through the lens of one or more gamelines. The first collection, released in 2016, offers 16 of

00:00 / 1:09:53

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

00:00 / 1:16:09

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

00:00 / 50:15

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,
