Evening falls and strange shadows rise as we proceed down the path into Faërie... This week, we're talking about Dancers in the Dusk, an eclectic mix of new mechanics, foes, and play options for Changeling: the Lost. Fate and dreams are the watchwords for this one; who knows what secrets and sorcery might therefrom arise? We flip pages to find out and let you know. 🌆

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and maybe also a stack of foes both gruesome and strange, as found in Night Horrors: Grim Fears. This first book for the post-limited run of Changeling: the Lost gives many an antagonist for your players to face. Join us for a readthrough, some discussion, and maybe even a costume idea or two for this week's spoopy festivities. 🎃

The winding path has reached its conclusion... or has it? This week, we discuss Equinox Road, the book slated to be the last for Changeling: the Lost, until the devs decided to keep the extremely popular line going. So although we're talking about endgames and final battles and True Fae bosses, there's still plenty to explore. Join us for this end that is also a beginning, won't you? ⚖️

Here goes something...! Our post-hiatus return to the airwaves begins today with Lords of Summer, a closer look at the politics and society of the Lost. From Summer rhetoric to Winter secrets, Spring morals to Autumn vocations, this book is densely packed with info. We've tried our best for a quick yet coherent readthrough, meaning two full hours for your listening pleasure. It's good to be back. 🌞

Strange to be diving into the season that just (in our Hemisphere, at least) drew to a dramatic close, but nevertheless... Rites of Spring for Changeling: the Lost gets into details of Glamour and the fae's talents therein. The eponymous Court is associated with desire: to create, to change, to explore, to survive, all of which underlies the flourishes of Lost magic. 🌷

With hearts not nearly heavy enough for the Winter Court's bailiwick of sorrow, we open up their associated book for Changeling: the Lost 1e, Winter Masques. The theme at play is diversity, and the text leans into that with a surfeit of character options. New kiths, new Courts, new takes on Seemings and their significance... join us for a semi-anonymous dance through the frost-rimed pages. ❄️

Art thou afear'd? Be not afear'd... we are exploring the expression of that emotion in Autumn Nightmares, the first supplement for Changeling: the Lost 1e. Renegades, Keepers, fetches, and more abound in this densely-packed tome of antagonists. (Seriously, there are a ton.) Join us to learn and better understand their workings, and thereby fear them less—we hope. 🍂

At last! We're concluding our deep dive of the 1e Lost corebook with two appendices, overall thoughts on the book, and listener questions. It's been a JOURNEY—but our exploration into the Library of the Lost shall continue now and then, as we wend our way through the supplements. We hope this dive has piqued enough of your interest to stick with us... the Hedge, as always, awaits.🍀

The work continues! We're getting into the third and fourth mammoth chapters of the CtL 1e corebook this week, from dreamweaving to Hedge-dueling and everything in between. Changeling's systems and storytelling stand it apart from the other nWoD games; this is where those differences really come to light. Here be friends and foes alike, and the many ways to deal with both. 🌲

Here goes something! Today begins our dive into the 1e corebook for Changeling: the Lost, a chomker of a text that will take a trilogy of episodes to get through. But it's a deep well of ideas for any game, so we hope you'll find something to use and appreciate. Stories of abduction and return, Wyrd and Glamour, seemings and kiths, Courts and Contracts... and this is just the first half. 🌵
