The fae are all about liminality and change, an idea reinforced by the next pair of books we’ll be considering in Changeling: the Lost’s first edition run. We begin with Dancers in the Dusk, a hodgepodge of strange mechanics, curious foes, subtle magics, and new allegiances that all hearken back to the notion and feel […]

It’s the most spoopiest tiiiime of the year…! As we enter Halloweek, it seems appropriate that we’re delving into a stack of antagonists gruesome and strange for Changeling: the Lost’s first edition, namely Night Horrors: Grim Fears. Heartless changelings (literally, in at least one case), peculiar hobgoblins, and stranger things abound. This was the first

We’re about a month late to the balance-of-day-and-night party, but it’s still very much a season of shifting light, so it’s appropriate that we’re wandering down the Equinox Road this week. As the last book planned for the original run of Changeling: the Lost 1e, there was a lot riding on this conclusion to the

At long last…! So, one thing after another happened in our lives this summer, and the hiatus lasted longer than we anticipated or intended. But! We are back for another handful of episodes to round out the Season, kicking off today with a readthrough of Lords of Summer. This volume for Changeling: the Lost’s first

Shh, we’re not really back yet… it’s still the lazy days of summer, and much needed rest and recuperation is taking place. But the slow grind of content waits for no fae, and so we are dipping our toes back into the airwaves with an episode here and episode there for the next handful of

As we drift into midsummer night dreams, it remains only to give an accounting of the State of the Podcast before we take a semi-hiatus for the next several weeks. There are a couple episodes planned, but otherwise we’ll see you on the airwaves again in mid-August or thereabouts. In the meantime, we’ve got some

Summer is arriving with a vengeance in the northern part of the globe, so it’s a bit odd to be going back a season… and yet, we regret it not, as we open up the pages of Rites of Spring. This supplement for Changeling: the Lost 1e is a compendium of magics and Glamour, folklore

Cantrips and oaths and Unleashings (oh my!) are all perfectly respectable kinds of magic, but what others might the fae be heir to? We’re tackling that question with another entry in the Changeling 30th Anniversary Project lineup, as the anniversary itself approaches… The book-in-progress of our discussion today is Book of Gremayre, a compendium of

The emotion espoused by the Winter Court of the Lost is sorrow, but it’s hard to feel too down about the sheer volume of material provided in their nominally associated book, Winter Masques. (Maybe we can shed a tear for the wild inconsistency in font sizes between sections?) While Autumn Nightmares was more of a

The nature of evil is a wiggly thing in all the World of Darkness games, but especially in Changeling. Who’s to say whether a rabid beastie or a diabolical Eiluned is more dastardly than the other? Surely it’s a matter of perspective. Still, among the various groups in the game, the Thallain and the Dauntain
