Storyteller Fetch leads players Elerus, J, and Medi through the chimerical landscape of Phoenix, Arizona as their Kithain characters set a plan of midsummer courtly […]

It’s been a while since we stepped into the old World of Darkness, so today we take a quick look back for one more in our series of crossover book dives. We flipped through both the original and Revised editions of the Fianna tribebooks for Werewolf: the Apocalypse. These are the most fae-adjacent of the

With apologies for last week’s delay, we are back on track with today’s readthrough of the last Changeling-focused Dark Era in the first collection, A Grimm Dark Era. The Dark Eras’ not-quite-second-edition-ness stands out most of all in this offering, and it’s… noteworthy. Set in early 19th-century Germany with the publication of the Grimms’ faerie

Il était une fois… as we proceed through the historical dives in the first Dark Eras volume, we arrive at the next one for Changeling: the Lost—and the first one that is only for that game, though certainly no one could object if an enterprising Storyteller felt like squeezing in a random Promethean.

Another week, another exploration of nWoD/CofD crossover. This time, with an eye to the upcoming Dark Eras, we’re taking a look at Vampire: the Requiem and approaches to integrating it with Changeling: the Lost.
