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.

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

And so it begins…! meaning Season 4, of course. We have a nice little backlog of recordings to edit, bowdlerize, and disseminate to the masses in the coming weeks and months. While we’re done with the core line of Changeling: the Dreaming, there are a number of books we’d like to consider from the old
