I have seen a lot of posts lately about Lost Girl, which makes me happy. I loved that show. It is the closest we will get to a Changeling: The Dreaming show or movie.

What went on behind the scenes in between Changeling: the Dreaming and Changeling: the Lost? We can't claim to have uncovered ALL the secrets, but today we're digging up at least a few details as we talk with Pete Woodworth about the process of writing and developing from one game to the other. Peek into the Hedge and see what we learned...

Stories and context abound: https://changelingthepodcast.com/podcast/episode-107-creating-lost-with-pete-woodworth/

We've been teasing the Changeling 30th Anniversary project for quite a while now, and at long last, our labors begin to bear fruit...! Which you might turn into something tasty using the Changeling Cookbook, or use to tantalize others with the wisdom in Kithbook: Swan Maidens. Co-author Andrew joins us to discuss these first two C30 books, and what they bring (so to speak) to the table.

Morning and Happy Monday.

I have "classic" World of Darkness on the brain. Enjoy.

Apologies again for missing a week due to life and busywork, but now we are back to the library...! Moving over to the Mage shelf, we're talking today about sorcerers: the hedge wizards of variable understanding who might cross paths with the fae. Skimming across the choicest relevant bits from three books, join us for a conversation about mortals making (mediocre?) magic.

Spirits in Mage: Updated for Mage 2nd Edition. The original version of this article contained quotes from his article on Goetic mages, which also deals heavily with spirits. http://mage.gearsonline.net/anders/spirits/umbrood/spirits2.html #magetheascension #umbrood #worldofdarkness

Things went so well last time

Theurgy of the Hollow Ones: At heart, Hollowers are existentialists, even if they don't take the label. They have seen the world through Awakened eyes, and they know it sucks. http://mage.gearsonline.net/anders/magick/philosophy/theurgy.html#hollow #magetheascension #hollowones #orphans #worldofdarkness

Marauder Magick: Some speculations on the nature of Marauder magick, and some rotes. How do Marauders see magick? And why don't they suffer from Paradox? Here are some theories. http://mage.gearsonline.net/anders/factions/marauder/maraudermagic.html #magetheascnesion #marauders #worldofdarkness

We draw ever closer to the Hedge this week as we discuss the intro materials for Changeling: the Lost's first edition. The quickstart rules and demo adventure, the screen and character sheet pad, the fancy dice... all this preliminary stuff set the game's aesthetic and stoked the hype. Looking to dip your toes in? Well, have we got a dank and mysterious kiddie pool for you!

Introductory post, you say?
Well, I'm selling my unholy powers of design and illustration in the boardgame sector, but in my sparetime I'm nurturing my hyperfixations on #Warhammer (#horusheresy, #EmperorsChildren, #WordBearers, #Salamanders), #StarWars (especially #CloneWars and oldschool #Mandalorians) and #TTRPGs and #pnp (#Storyteller #WorldOfDarkness #dnd #DSA). I love #MMORPGs - especially #ElderScrollsOnline and #worldofwarcraft
Languages: DE, EN, FR

I think it's time I finally redo my #introduction with proper hashtags and whatnot. So...

I'm Dan Rodriguez, life-long #ttrpg player and enthusiast, learned to read in the 80's with my dad's D&D books. Spent too much of my life in #WorldOfDarkness, and for the past 13 years have been a member of the #Fandible RPG #ActualPlay #podcast with my dearest friends.

I have a soft spot for #indiegames and have written a few myself- 3 Goblins in a Trenchcoat, Cats & Corpses, Hometown Magic, and more!

I noticed while I was doing a little spring cleaning that I hadn't done an intro post since 2018, and it's been. y'know. A little while. So let's run down the list:

I am (in no particular order):

- A #blueteam analyst. I live my life in SIEMs and Excel. I am a #SOC puppet. Fair warning, however, if you're expecting #infosec posts in any vast quantity here, you are going to be horrifically, and hilariously, disappointed. I'll definitely post about it occasionally, but you're gonna have to put up with my mood swing-like hobby shifts.

- An #amateurradio operator. This is a fancy way of saying I have a #HAMRadio license and I"m not afraid to use it. I'm mostly dabbling in HF at the moment, but have a small VHF/UHF rig (Read: I have an HT.)

- A #ttrpg #dungeonmaster. I play #DnD, #WorldOfDarkness, and I'm working on a #PF2e #pathfinder game atm. Expect occasional shitposts about games and stories about my party's antics.

- Trans. And on HRT. And not particularly interested in a bunch of chuds' opinions on it. Rare posts about LGBT stuffs to be expected. (No hashtags on this one. Tempted though I am to stick on one to attract flies to the zapper...)

- And a #streamer occasionally. Rarely. When I feel like it. Streaming takes a lot of energy out of me so I do it primarily when the mood strikes.
