I'm aware that the 2nd edition of WtF was recently released, but I haven't read through it yet - so I don't know how it changes things up, and I don't know what they have planned for the upcoming Changeling 2nd edition.īack on topic: This has been a big issue for me. heh, I'm not really sure how I'd put it.Īnyway, I wanted your guys' thoughts on all of this. Like, I'd imagine one splat is basically drawing favors from spirits, while the other is. As in, you draw on your contract/gift to affect the subject of that aspect of reality. Mechanically, they seem to work out fairly similarly. It's questionable whether they'd have the ability to bargain with lesser spirits in the ways that werewolves do. It's just that changelings never "meet" the spirits that granted the power in the first place, and they don't have a frame of reference for the lesser spirits that walk the world. On the other hand, you could say that the "aspects of reality" from which changelings draw power are, in fact, spirits. On one hand, you can dismiss it out of hand, because nothing says you need to use the two game lines together.
I guess what throws me off is that I'm unclear on the difference between spirits and the "aspects of reality". Werewolves, by contrast, individually receive gifts from spirits as rewards for their deeds. But now it’s your story.I've been pondering the difference between the contracts of Changelings and the gifts of Werewolves, and I'd like your guys' thoughts on them.Īs I understand it, changelings are invoking clauses in contracts that were made with aspects of reality long ago. It’s not always an easy story, not always a happy story. You take the good with the bad, the magic with the monstrosity, the beauty with the madness. The world is alive with wonders most people never see.and rife with horrors that count on that unwariness.
You can see that magic is not the sole province of Faerie. Having run from your Keeper and climbed your way back through the Hedge (and didn’t the thorns bite more than they did going in?), you’re back in the world of pizza and Facebook and nuclear anxiety. You were a lover or a servant or a monster. They forged your flesh and sewed your bones, and they gave you a role to play. Lured or abducted by the alien Gentry, you have passed the gates and Hedges between our world and the vast fantastic. In Changeling: The Lost, you take on the role of an ordinary person who has seen the extraordinary.
