We’re continuing down the path into the Firchlis-warped wilderness as we dip into Chapters 2, the first half of 4, 6, and the Appendix of Dreams and Nightmares. Why the scattered approach? While we focused on the Near Dreaming along with general Dreaming cosmology and (meta)physics last time, in this installment we’re talking specifically about […]

Brace yourselves—it’s time for another trilogy of episodes as we dive into the library for a book of exquisite density. While Isle of the Mighty (our previous three-fer) was long in addition to dense, Dreams and Nightmares is a trim 128 pages with standard-sized font. So why the excessive episodage for it? Because this is

Even when you’re equipped with quickstart materials (as we discussed a few episode ago…!), it can be daunting to prepare your/your players’ first Changeling game. Many of the potential speed bumps can be smoothed over with a solid Session Zero, where everyone gets together, talks about the characters they want to play, the particular game

Another dive into the library…! This week, we’re taking a closer look at the ill-tempered genius of the nockers as we flip through the pages of their Kithbook, the third in the lineup. There are certainly some interesting tidbits in this one: the origins of nockers’ foul mouths, some fast-and-loose chimerical “science”, a panoply of

There are a few different ways to summarize Changeling: the Dreaming and its themes. “You’re a faerie in a human body” and its variations are a common starting point; “it’s about the struggle to keep imagination alive” might be another. The conflict (or is it, really?) between Glamour and Banality is our topic for this

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a tabletop RPG with a rich setting is in want of an overflow book for all the material unceremoniously cut from the corebook. Changeling’s 2nd edition was no exception, and so we have the Book of Lost Dreams, a slim volume that touches on crossover rules with other

We really tried to rein it in, and this still ended

Hey all! This is just our quick wrap-up for the end of our first season (which we’ve sort of stumbled into properly calling a season now). It’s a handful of thoughts on what we’ve accomplished, and what we’d like to do in the coming year. Thanks again for listening and supporting our podcast so far,

For our last long-form episode of 2022, we’re diving into the library again, but this time we’re headed to the fiction section, and the Immortal Eyes novel trilogy. These books tie in to the three Immortal Eyes setting/chronicle books from 1st edition, fleshing out the story and giving some more options for incorporating the plot

Changelings are part fae, part human. But what about their fellows who are even humaner, or humans who are entirely so, with nothing inherently fae about them? This episode, we return to the library to talk about The Enchanted, Changeling’s supplement for “Year of the Ally” and the final(!) book of the 1st edition. While
