Metaplot: the Dreaming--The Sundering
Thursday Oct 01, 2020
Thursday Oct 01, 2020
The second major plot point in the Changeling: the Dreaming chronology is the Sundering. This is the time that saw the Fae begin to lose their ascendancy among the various creatures in the World of Darkness. The world began to split into two distinct realms, the Prodigals fell away from the True Fae, and mortals rejected the claims of the old gods and their magi.
Join us as we attempt to clear the mists on this often discussed but mostly forgotten time in the Dreaming's history.
The themesong from this episode was LSD by Mon Plaisir.

Bonus Episode: What Even Is Critique?
Friday Sep 11, 2020
Friday Sep 11, 2020
As a prelude to our series of reviews of White Wolf books we referenced in the metaplot series, this is an introduction to the very, very, very basics of critique. Victor and Simon discuss the purpose of critique in professional contexts, and the sorts of things we're going to be looking for when we review Dreaming books. This also serves as a content warning for people who don't like criticism or think it's impossible to like something while being aware of its shortcomings and wanting it to be better as it gets remade and rewritten in the future.
The themesong for this episode was Je voudrais être un pigeon by Monplaisir.

Metaplot: the Dreaming--Time of Legends
Tuesday Sep 01, 2020
Tuesday Sep 01, 2020
The first in a series of Changeling: the Dreaming metaplot summary and discussion episodes. The ancient pre-history of the World of Darkness has many names, even just within the Dreaming ecosystem. Often named either the Time of Legends or the Mythic Age, the first period in the Dreaming metaplot is obscured by the Mists and an erratic development plan. Join Victor and Simon as we attempt to shed a little light on the possibilities and canon sources for information on this frequently referenced but rarely illuminated time before the Sundering.
The themesong from this episode was LSD by Mon Plaisir.

A Joint Exploration of Chimerical Subspace with Mage: The Podcast
Saturday Jul 04, 2020
Saturday Jul 04, 2020
From Chimerical Subspace to Void Subspace
The wonders and secrets of Chimerical Subspace are only beginning to unfold as one realm gives way to the next. Join Simon and Victor as they trek across the internet to join Terry Robinson from Mage: The Podcast to discuss how Changeling: Countless Dreams works with Mage: The Ascension. While Changeling and The Void Engineers might seem like strange bedfellows to most World of Darkness veterans, the intrusion of Chimerical Subspace during the Tidal Event changes everything. We hope this opens the door to expansive crossover possibilities never imagined before, and that a few of our listeners discover just how amazing Mage: The Podcast is during this listen.

Countless Dreams: What has Pierced the Subspace Veil
Saturday May 23, 2020
Saturday May 23, 2020
What Does the Future Hold?
Technology is the Endless Winter's herald
the future holds darkness and death for Changelings
the Dreaming will die
These are lies
told by Banality-ridden Changelings
and bitter Gladelings
who see the ISS streak by at night
or look down into the Earth's magma glow
or contemplate machines' potential
and fail to see the Dreaming
The Countless forge
new homes for themselves in Subspace
and a harmonious relationship with Humanity
from Dreams of the future
It's time for another Storyteller's Vault interview, but this time with our very own Simon Eichhörnchen! Changeling: Countless Dreams has finally released on the Vault after over a year of development! If changelings are stories so powerful that they are aware of themselves then what has become of humanity's fantasies about the future? Listen and find out exactly what waits in the darkest corners of subspace, and what already walks among us.

Storyteller Vault Reviews: Kithbook: Strega and Cantrip Cards
Wednesday Dec 18, 2019
Wednesday Dec 18, 2019
Here's one for you from the Vaults. Today, Victor and Simon interview Jeremy Jagosz, author of Kithbook: Strega. We talk with him about what inspired him to write it, what place he sees the Strega filling in Changeling: the Dreaming, and preview a little of what's in the book. And who isn't fond of owls?
In the second review, we discuss our thoughts on the Cantrip Cards (and by extension the Realm Cards) by XY RPG Creations. This simple, yet brilliant, PDF provides an easy way for players and storytellers to quickly reference how Changeling's sometimes confusing Arts work without having to go into mortal combat over the only copy of the sourcebook at the table.
Thank you for listening!
