One more minisode for the summer! We’ll be back to our usual schedule of full episodes in September, but we thought we’d share a cross-production that we participated in a couple weeks ago. Barney Smith from Storycomic reached out to do an interview with us about Changeling: the Dreaming, our podcast, and associated thoughts. So […]

A surprise minisode, just in time for Highsummer week! We’ve talked about the Immortal Eyes novels, we’ve talked about the Anthology of Dreams, and we’ve even mentioned Pomegranates Full & Fine… but what about the rest of the Changeling fiction from the 90s? This includes The Splendour Falls, a short story collection released in tandem

And so we come once again to a bit of downtime, as we wind up the first half of Season 3. It’s just another minisode on the eve of the solstice, to let you know where things stand and what we’ve been up to, plus some of our plans when we return in six weeks,

We were going to just release this bit of content as Patreon content because it’s our shortest yet, but by popular demand, here it is as a minisode…! For all of you Storytellers who feel the need to hide yourselves away from your players, or maybe just shield your dice from revealing too much, the

Yes, we already did an episode on those long-suffering boggans, but don’t you think they deserve another? Having dealt with the fanmade “old” Kithbook: Boggans previously (check out https://changelingthepodcast.com/podcast/episode-77-old-kithbook-boggans/), we are now moving on to the new Kithbook: Boggans, released as a Kickstarter goal for C20. In the spirit of the older editions’ kithbooks, the

The freehold is the center of changeling life, providing safety, community, and a connection to the Dreaming for wayward Kithain. But what makes each of them unique? We get some extensive systems and suggestions to answer this question in Book of Freeholds, a C20 supplement that greatly expands previous editions’ take on building them. It’s

Alternate and/or historical settings for Changeling is always something that piques our interest. So we were keen to read the Gimme Shelter Player’s Guide supplement (released April 2) that presents the fae of Swinging Sixties London. We’re joined this week by the book’s author, Bram Clark, who talks with us about his take on this

Now that we’re through the corebook for C20, other supplements seem like small (but no less nourishing) potatoes. This time around is a double feature: we’re flipping through Yours to Keep, the jumpstart and intro adventure for the edition, and Ready-Made Characters, a set of 13 write-ups (one for each core kith) and sample motleys

And so we come to the third part of this trilogy, wherein we talk about changes to this edition. There are hundreds of little tweaks and adjustments to be found in the Changeling 20th Anniversary corebook, but we’re focusing on a dozen of the most significant that stand out to us. (Slight spoiler: there’s another

Whew. Doing a walkthrough of the corebook was kind of a marathon, but treating it as a text in isolation is only part of the story. In this (thankfully shorter, because we recorded it the same day as the first) installment, we’re drawing on our grump knowledge of the previous editions to talk about the
