We’re kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel for the last dregs of content from the vaults. On the LARP side of the equation, there are a few remnants from various Mind’s Eye Theatre books that never made it into either The Shining Host or the Shining Host Player’s Guide, which we have collected […]

Welcome to 2025, changelings and changelants! We said that Winterregnum was going to be our hibernation season… but truth be told, there are too many things to do and not enough time to do them, so yes, we’re going to continue to put some content out for the coming weeks. The Season proper will launch

Woo-hah! We got here at last. Yule is upon us and it’s time for another State of the Podcast before we enter our Winterregnum period. As stated before, there will likely be a bit of content here and there through the coming weeks, but—with one or two possible exceptions—no full episodes until some point in

Like any grumps, we often ruminate on the past and what it has (and hasn’t) brought us. After the closing of the old White Wolf forums post-Time of Judgment, those in search of community found our way to various places on the internet, one of the most noteworthy of which for the two of us

Once again, it happened…! Pooka is in attendance at PAX Unplugged this weekend, and spent Friday afternoon rushing around doing on-the-spot interviews with creators whose work is somewhat Changeling-aligned. Herein are five short interviews about games that touch on the fae, dreams, imagination, and more. The sound quality in this minisode is particularly awful, which

Maybe it’s pretty obvious that we do a lot of gaming online nowadays, and that as hosts of a podcasts, we are thorough netizens who have thoughts and feelings about the interwebs. Nevertheless, online games have their own particular dynamics, opportunities, and cultures that we thought it might be good to explore, for people who

In the annals of Changeling history, there are many books that have been promised without coming to fruition. The Changeling atlas, Kingdom books beyond Willows, Book of Glamour… the litany goes on. Things are less clear for C20, but one title with a particular twisty path was By Night Studios’ Mind’s Eye Theatre: Changeling, which

And so here we are. It’s time to open up the last few chapters of the Changeling 20th Anniversary Player’s Guide, thereby ending our readthroughs of the game’s canon. Feels weird, to be honest. When we started the show, it felt like we’d be going through the library of official texts forever, and now that

What do you get when you cross the infinity of the Dreaming’s possibilities with eight billion humans? Questions about how many of them are changelings, that’s what. This week, we’re applying the art/science of demography to the fae, throwing numbers and proportions and calculations around like so much spaghetti, so that we can see what

Changelings, lest we forget, are part human. Spending time in a meatsack isn’t always Glamourous or exhilarating (though it can be both), but it’s an inherent part of their experience that can be interesting both in and of itself, and as a contrast to the escapist fantasies that the Dreaming is built on. Yet players
