Glamour and Banality begin at home, and few modern household objects encapsulate that principle better than the box. We're talking this week about ten television shows that we feel are inspirational for Changeling—though of course, we could've riffled through dozens or hundreds more. Now coming at you commercial-free! 📺

We're plunging into the depths with this week's episode, as we page through Blood-Dimmed Tides, a WoD mostly-2e supplement on the supernatural seas. The book's chapter on merfolk is DENSE, covering their society, their history, their magic... we're glad to see them get a fair shake at last. Them fishpeople have secrets, and it's high time we did some dredging. 🧜

I have managed to get a grand total of 9 people playing #ChangelingTheDreaming and I couldn't be happier for it.

To be a Storyteller is easy; to Storytell is hard. We're joined by special guest and veteran gamer Fetch this week for a "Storytelling 201" roundtable, wherein we share some of our thoughts and suggestions about the process for Changeling. If you're run a game or three, but you want some fodder for running thirty or thirty-three more, well—have we got some Opinions for you! 🦸

23. I mentioned how gorgeous #BluebeardsBride was last week (https://dice.camp/@davej/110897281421581064), and both #VampireTheMasquerade and #ChangelingTheDreaming were cases of love at first sight. But one #TTRPG that I don’t think gets enough attention is #Aquelarre.

Its mechanics are fairly straightforward #BRP, and Reconquista-era Spain appeals to the history buff in me, but the art is really where it shines: faux-mediaeval portraiture rendered in vivid colour. Just beautiful.

Day Seventeen: FUNNIEST Game I Have Played

As a player, I have enjoyed several games of #Toon RPG. #Paranoia can also be funny with the right group.

As a GM, I think it would be a one-shot of #ChangelingTheDreaming for some friends visiting town. The group found themselves in the Dreaming next to the Labyrinth of Jareth, the Goblin King. They had 13 hours to solve, per usual. There were many hilarious moments.

#RPGaDay23 (12) Oldest game I'm still playing: Only game I get to play regularly I talked about 1st. So let's go with oldest game I'd immediately run again.

#changelingTheDreaming. 20th Ann. Ed. is pretty neat.

Discoupling seeming (your apparent Fae age) from actual age solves one of the main problems and why wouldn't a kid imagine to be a wise old ruler. Or an old person dream of being a child again.

And further nice cleanups all around.

The world gets ✨sparkly✨, the world grows dull... We're talking this week about twin topics: Enchantment and The Mists. Their impact on senses and memories have long been a major theme in Changeling, but the particulars can be difficult to navigate. Join us as we explore some strategies and share some opinions that we urge you try not to forget...! 🌫️

Day Six: Favorite Game You NEVER Get to Play

That would be old World of Darkness, especially Vampire the Masquerade, Mage the Ascension, and Changeling the Dreaming. The 90s were a grand time to be an RPGer. I loved all my WoD games.

We're back! And we're starting off the rest of Season 2 with a dive into the Changeling Storytellers' Guide, for all your gaming-round-the-Lughnasa-fire needs. Planning advice, tips for handling problem players, crossover rules... we do our best to determine just how necessary this supplement actually is. ✨

Thinking of them all at once is a losing battle...

Are these things case-sensitive?

@spezbaby
The following i always thought were interestingly thought out:

Dark Sun - Especially early 1st edition presented a D&D-type setting ravaged by misuse of magic.

Gamma World - Especially 4th and 7th editions, even though they present essentially different settings.

Dragonstar - Probably my favorite take on D&D + space travel

Classic World of Darkness - Especially Changeling and Mage

Ghost Council Theurge? OK, cool. Now what does that mean?

(I usually play #VampireTheMasqurade #ChangelingTheDreaming or #MageTheAscension. This whole #WerewolfTheApocypse thing confuses me. LOL!)

We couldn't leave you all hanging for six weeks without at least a morsel of content... therefore, we give you our mini-sode on The Bygone Bestiary, a lore-filled tome of beasts and beings. Its usefulness for Changeling is, shall we say, limited—but the title is included on the back cover, so we gave it a skim. Comments about dragons and whatnot ensued! 🐉

This is golden, glorious stuff for magical realism or modern fae myths. Great inspiration for any modern fantasy, with a bit of work.

Perfect for #UnknownArmies, adaptable to #WorldOfDarkness and #UrbanShadows or even #Kult. Could bring some darkness & whimsy to #ChangelingTheDreaming, even. https://mastodon.social/@Miniver/110662774751754098

Before we go on summer hiatus, one last minisode on the State of the Podcast for the first half of Season 2. We talk about some of the goings-on for the past weeks, and our goals for the rest of 2023.

Episode 50! We're wrapping up the first half of Season 2 with a dive into Changeling-esque films, of which there are... well, countless. The Silver Path winds through the silver screen as we discuss a baker's dozen of them that we (and in a few cases, apparently the game's authors) find inspirational. 🍿

This week, we're headed to humid climes as we read through Kingdom of Willows, a metaplot powerhouse and the only proper Concordian "Kingdombook" for Changeling. It's got the good, the bad, the ugly, and the *really* ugly, all in ample doses and thoroughly festooned with kudzu. Join us as we riffle through this (pretty dense) exploration of the Southern US, according to Kithain. 🌳

We're headed back to the world of live-action roleplaying for a roundtable episode with experts Ash and Will! Moving beyond the core CtD LARP text of The Shining Host, this episode focus more on how to bring your games to life (and keep them from going off the rails). Advice, anecdotes, and other sundry bits ensue. 🍿
