At long last, with this third installment, we are at last finished our readthrough of the Changeling: the Lost 1st edition corebook. Here’s hoping that when we get to 2nd edition, we can just breeze through and say “nyaaahhh, it’s mostly the same but here are things that have changed.” (Doubtful.) This week, we’re talking […]

Another week, another as-rapid-as-we-dare readthrough of the Changeling: the Lost 1st edition corebook. This time, we’re having a look at Chapters Three and Four. “But Pooka and Fetch,” you might say, “this was supposed to be a two-part series, not a trilogy. How could you spend just under two hours talking about two measly chapters?”

As the light half of the year breaks over the horizon, it’s time at last for us to take the deepest of breaths and open the tome that is the Changeling: the Lost 1st edition corebook. The density of the text and the number of pages meant that this was always going to be a

We’re visiting other shelves on the bookcase again, this time to dig into World of Darkness: Hong Kong. As with the Tokyo citybook, this was a Year of the Lotus supplement that was ostensibly for all the oWoD gamelines, but in truth was more vampire-centric than anything. Still—the tilts at the other games are present,

It’s rare that the fae and the dead have much to do with each other, which is surprising given that within the latter category, the wraiths called Sandmen are oneiromancers extraordinaire. Manipulating the dreams of mortals from beyond the grave, they should be one of the more likely sorts of Prodigal a changeling may encounter.

When talking about these games that we love, sometimes we may give the impression that we know more about the history behind the scenes than we let on. It’s when we have the opportunity to interview an actually knowledgeable person that the extent of how much we don’t know becomes obvious. So it goes today,

For a solid year now, we’ve been going on about the Changeling 30th Anniversary project, a celebration of three decades of this game we all know and love and dedicate too much headspace to, probably. We’ve also mentioned that one of the things we’re trying to do for this Season is a series of books

Apologies for skipping an episode release last week—there’s a point at which even a pooka must throw in the towel for a day or two to recover from the wheel of reading, preparing, recording, editing. Now that things are a bit settled, we’re back on track as we delve into the Changeling-adjacent library again today

The gravity of Changeling: the Lost’s first edition corebook is slowly pulling us in… but before we get there, let’s make a few stops along the way. Two whole months before the game was officially released at GenCon 2007, there were a number of introductory and ancillary materials that helped drive up interest. This includes

The other gamelines in the World of Darkness rarely engaged with Changeling very deeply, but now and then, a book would have a chunk of pages illuminating some new corner of the lore. We’re looking to Vampire this week, and in particular the first Dark Ages corebook and the original Dark Ages Companion. This first
