Rating: - Hard to Be a Changeling
Changeling: the Lost is a marvellous RPG game, brimming with ideas and atmosphere which is, in accord with the authorial intention, bittersweet. The Lost really ARE a Storytelling game of beautiful madness.
However, there is a catch. The authors have had such an amount of ideas that it is very, very, VERY difficult to put them together without loosing this beautifully insane, bittersweet melancholy. In fact, it's so difficult that the authors themselves failed in this and presented their awful ... Read More
Rating: - Finally, a way to play a childhood nightmare
I loved this booK! Sure, it was a bit grim, and it wasn't for anybody, but it was put together in an extraordinarily versatile way. It allowed you to be literally anybody, and anything, you could imagine, unlike a few RPG's I could name *Vampire: The Requiem*. The Seeming/Kith mechanic is superbly adaptable, covering almost any faerie type that you could find in any book. If you can't, there's always Winter Masques, but I don't know about that yet. The Contracts system gave it an Faustian light that ... Read More
Rating: - Twisted. Perhaps broken.
This is not a game about fairies.
This is a game about people who have been pulled into faerie, changed, and escaped. Sadly, the prcess has changed them into something that is not quite human any more.

Also, proper fae are now alien and ultimately ... Read More
Rating: - Typos Ain't So Bad
This is the first White Wolf product to actually entice me into the World of Darkness. Accomplishing that was done by making the setting truer to the myths of changelings.
If you're like me, and like to get a basic understanding of the whole book before you attempt to run or play, be warned: it's long, and it's heavy; armchair reading it ain't. Knowing that it was part of limited run series, I understand White Wolf had to cram a lot of information into only a few books.
Rating: - Grim Fairy Tales
The second in White Wolf's limited run RPGs for their World of Darkness gameline, Changeling takes you into the world of the fae. Not your white-washed Victorian fairy tales for children, but the darker stories of trolls that lurk under bridges looking for mortal flesh, goblins who kidnap children, and dark things hiding under beds; creatures born of nightmare and madness. Like I said before kids, its the World of DARKNESS. It's all about Gothic horror!
Whereas in it's predecessor, of sorts, ... Read More
