Just when we thought we'd said all we could about the first edition of Changeling: the Lost, along came the homebrew book Twilit Eildon. With such timing, we simply had to give it a flip-through. From seemingly benevolent True Fae and their loyalists to treatments of the digital Hedge, it's an eclectic text. Tune in for our consideration of this one as the sun sinks at last. 🌆

Is anyone aware of any good #VampireTheRequiem #ActualPlay #Podcast out there? I've been listening to some Masquerade ones, but I'd like to hear from that game's first cousin to get myself back in the mood to run a #NewWorldOfDarkness #NWoD #ChroniclesOfDarkness game.
1e would be my preference, but I'll take 2e in a pinch.

Bloodsuckers and dreamdrinkers unite! For this next entry in our nWoD/CofD crossover series, we're sticking our necks out for Vampire: the Requiem, exploring connections thematic and mechanical with Changeling: the Lost. Some of these are subtle; some are explicit (as vampires so often are). It's a brief and bloody dive, but we hope you'll enjoy. 🧛

The biomechanical monstrosity that is the God-Machine awakes... but more importantly, its many appendages carry us from the "new" World of Darkness to Chronicles of Darkness. Rules updates and new concepts abound! We're talking today about this setting transition's impact on Changeling: the Lost as we wander towards its 2nd edition. Morality shifts; chases ensue; ephemera go "euughh". 🦑

Our first crossover episode for Lost! As we'll be tackling the historical Dark Eras soon, we want to talk about the other nWoD/CofD games that will make an appearance therein. We're starting off with Geist: the Sin-Eaters, a game about death and debts with a carnivalesque feel. Where the Hedge and the Underworld meet, there begins our story... 🪦

Lights; camera; Durance. We're opening up the media closet for Changeling: the Lost and beginning with a dive into films—ten of them, to be precise. Obviously, there are many more we could discuss, but this shortlist connects to lots of themes and images that we found compelling for any table. How might the fae unfold on the silver screen? We have some notions! 🎦

The nWoD setting is vast and filled with dank little corners, into which the books occasionally shine a light. The small supplement we're covering today, Glimpses of the Unknown, does just that to close out first edition. We're mainly considering this through the lens of Changeling: the Lost, but there's something for every game line. Get your torches at the ready to peer into those crannies... 🔦

Things that were, things that are, things that yet may be... we're looking through Mirrors this week, a supplement for the first edition of the new World of Darkness offering alternate mechanics, settings, and approaches to gaming. How might these apply to Changeling: the Lost? We'll cover some character options and story hooks alike, but be forewarned: book contains endless ideas. 🪞

Better a day late than a podcast short...! We're back this week to talk about Proverbial Monsters, as a follow up to last week's discussion of Urban Legends. Another general nWoD book that we're looking at through a changeling lens, this tome of foes seems to have vanished into the Hedge—but nevertheless, ideas abound. In for a penny, in for a pound. 🪙

Season Five! We're jumping headlong into our exploration of stuff adjacent to Changeling: the Lost's first edition as we carve a path through the Hedge towards its second. Look for crossovers, inspirations, and more in the coming weeks. To start, today's episode covers Urban Legends, a general WoD book about... well, urban legends. Because even a game about the fae needs its mysterious creepsters. 👻

Moving forward to go back in time, this week we're looking at the final entry for Changeling: the Lost's first edition, Victorian Lost. Villainous fae and uncanny creatures stalk the shadows of gaslit London as we flip through the pages. What manner of madness awaits? Join us as we investigate how the Lost live in this era, for better or (mostly) worse, and the stories one might tell. 🧐

Reading the books for a line is one thing; getting to actually play it is another. For those who want to run Changeling: the Lost 1e, two options (beyond the jumpstart) are presented in today's book, The Fear-Maker's Promise Compilation. It collects two modules and a group of ready-made characters for Storytellers in extremis. One of us ran it, the other just complains, so... insights! 📚

And now for something completely (well, significantly) different...! Pooka and Fetch join forces to discuss the (new) World of Darkness corebook, 1st edition. Released in 2004, this is the ur-text for Changeling: the Lost, readthroughs of which will be ongoing this Season. If you've never delved into nWoD—or maybe even if you have?—now's your chance to learn a thing or two... 🌃

Share your top 5 settings, regardless of system:
1) Middle-earth: The classic, although not fully realized at the table until #TOR 1e, although MERPS has cool extensions to the geography
2) #Glorantha: A fully realized mythic world in many ways. I don't always love it but it rolls up so many loves.
3) #theExpanse: Perfect example of hard(ish) sci-fi roleplay
4) #Eberron: Aetherpunk pulpy goodness
5) New World of Darkness: #nWoD is the best urban fantasy/horror sandboxes

Do you have any odd or interesting ideas for campaigns that you'd like to play in or run?
I've got an idea for a #Vampire game set in the American old west. I've thought about calling it Undeadlands or Undeadwood.
I'd either have to use the Werewolf old west setting, find a book for #NWOD or pull it together using #GURPS. Pretty easy with the #VampireTheMasquerade, GURPS Western, and maybe GURPS #Deadlands books.

Today's #Mage article is definitely a work in progress (#WIPWednesday), and I could use some feedback.
I posit some possible strong and weak arcana for the old Ascension factions in the Awakening system, and a tiny explanation of why for each one.

Hey folks. This year I'm going to be open for running paid games on alternate Mondays and Thursdays 7pm EST to 11. (starting the 9th and 12th respectively, then biweekly thereafter, on Startplaying. I still need reviews from folks that have played with me, but here's the links.

Any UK or other Euro folks out there interested in a pro GM running a number of different possible systems during *my* day, but your evening, starting as early as 5 pm London time, as late as 7pm London time? #ttrpg #dnd #dnd5e #gurps #MutantsAndMasterminds #Genesys #NWoD #FATE #ChroniclesOfDarkness #Scion 1e
#Pathfinder 1e and more!

I'm a pro gamemaster on Startplaying.
I can run #DnD (any edition, but esp. 3.5 and 5.0), Pathfinder 1e, GURPS, Mutants and Masterminds, Chronicles of Darkness (any game line), FATE, Genesys, and Scion 1e (and more!) . I have settings for all, but I can also build to suit your group.

To see what sort of settings I have:

@pixelnull I used to be, but am full up with other TTRPG projects atm. #oWoD and #nWoD both nail what they set out to do. #oWoD 20th anniversary editions tidy and lot up. And the 5th edition is working the kinks out of the metaplot. Have you also seen the likes of #liminal, which might be to your liking? Think oWoD but set in the UK, with less world ending consequences and a setting that suits the geography and culture of the region...https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/9257403/liminal-rpg

Some may not be aware I build for #NWoD / #ChroniclesOfDarkness, like this King of the Djinn:
