Alternate and/or historical settings for Changeling is always something that piques our interest. So we were keen to read the Gimme Shelter Player’s Guide supplement (released April 2) that presents the fae of Swinging Sixties London. We’re joined this week by the book’s author, Bram Clark, who talks with us about his take on this slice of pre-Resurgence life. Clocking in at over 300 pages, the Guide is one of the longest homebrews on the entire Storytellers’ Vault. Our conversation goes through the development, art, design… Bram’s associated Player’s Kit presaged something intriguing, but this was beyond what we expected. Hopefully this episode will give you some ideas about how to use it at your table!
