the last hope, Jun 3 2004
This review is from: Changeling: The Dreaming (Hardcover)
so youve played a vampire where you suck the life out of humans youve played a werewolf where you go crazy and kill humans youve played a mage where most humans who know about you want to kill you. enter, changeling the dreaming, a world of darkness game that allows for a bit more. most people at first look pass off changeling as a bunch of shiny happy people, they couldnt be furthur from the truth. changeling has its dark side and its as black as night. so your this fairy soul trapped inside a human sack of meat, you spend too much time as a human? your fairy side dies. you spend too much time as fae? you go insane. its a good balance, some say that the seelie/unseelie courts have been messed up from the get go and have many other problems. i have problems with most games but luckily whitewolf has the golden rule, if you dont like it, change it, if you dont have enough imagination to adapt something you dont like what are you doing playing rpgs anyway? go back to killing monsters on your console and leave those who roleplay for the joy of the story be.

a twist on the world of darkness, Oct 9 2002
This review is from: Changeling: The Dreaming (Hardcover)
Changlings deffinatly cant take the amount of physical damage (and shake it off)as a werewolf or vampire, so if you like the play the made-for-combat, beat stick characters, you might not find too much you like here, (except for maybe Trolls or Redcaps with some of the more dangerous cantrips) But if you really just love to roleplay, you will probably really enjoy this game. Almost anything is possible when the dreaming is envolved, so expect wild adventures. The cantrips your characters can learn can be both useful and/or amusing. The characters built in frailties take the roleplaying up another notch as well with frailties such as the Pooka race has to make a willpower role to tell the absolute truth or the slaugh that can not speak above a whisper. In short I highly recomend this set for any roleplayer.

5 stars from a french roleplayer, Mar 31 2002
This review is from: Changeling: The Dreaming (Hardcover)
Yes, we also play changeling in France. And although the first edition has been translated a few years ago, we prefer this one. Changeling is a great game. I love the seelie/unseelie division which is not a manichean good/bad division. I love the way faeries are somewhat alien to this world and nevertheless part of it. I love the fight against banality : it's the fight of my life!!
