Settle down, class! If you didn’t mean to attend this first lecture for the Faelosophy major, then we suggest you exit gracefully now… but if you’d just like to stay and audit, that’s fine too. We’re talking about Changeling metaphysics today, hashing out some of the Deeper Questions about the nature of being, the relationship […]

episode 60 — kithbook: pooka

00:00 / 1:11:11

What makes a kithbook, really? And what makes a kithbook great? Is Kithbook: Pooka, the fourth and fuzziest of the splatbooks for Changeling, a noteworthy representative of this category, or simply so much curiously stained paper to arrange on a shelf? Can these questions really be answered? Is this a rhetorical question? When you think

00:00 / 1:38:57

As refreshing as it was to get a taste of commoner life last week, we’re not displeased to be back with the deliciously wicked warlords and courtiers of the Unseelie this time around. The lengthily-titled Pour L’Amour et Liberté: The Book of Houses 2 covers the three (at the time) Houses of the Parliament of

00:00 / 1:37:08

We’ve heard plenty about the noble sidhe, and we’ll hear plenty more. But spare a moment to think of the plights and pleasures of the common folk! Kicking off the World of Darkness’ “Year of the Reckoning” in 1999 is this week’s offering, Fool’s Luck: Way of the Commoner. It focuses on the history of

episode 57 – ten television inspirations

00:00 / 53:48

Television, it turns out, is massive. When we set out to choose ten television shows that we found inspiring for Changeling, we had no idea that there were so many options we’d end up with, even considering the criteria we set for ourselves. (We looked at shows we had seen ourselves, and ideally ones that

00:00 / 53:56

Something fishy is going on this week, as we plunge into the murky waters of Blood-Dimmed Tides. Technically, this is a general World of Darkness sourcebook rather than a Changeling sourcebook, with material for the “Big Five” game lines of mostly 2nd Edition. (Coming at the start of 1999, this includes both notes about Vampire’s

00:00 / 1:50:32

There are at least as many styles of Storytelling (or DMing, or Gamemastering, or whatever) as there are Storytellers, most of whom have Strong Opinions about the best way to do things. We’ve had a bit of discussion here and there over our two seasons, but this week we—along with special guest and veteran Storyteller,

00:00 / 1:58:07

White Wolf’s “Year of the Lotus” initiative was an attempt to explore the World of Darkness’ various game lines through the context of “the East” with… uneven results. Changeling was not spared, and the last book of the Year was Land of Eight Million Dreams, covering the hsien of China, Japan, and environs. There’s a

After teasing the nymphs in various shapes for nearly four years, Changeling’s 2nd edition finally got around to giving us a supplement dedicated to the fae of nature. In this book’s fullest presentation of who they are, Inanimae (and their Secret Way) are elemental dreams, the product of human imagination interacting with noteworthy hunks of
