Changeling the Podcast

episode 126 — the fear-maker’s promise compilation


Listen Later

Once in a while, you actually want to play the game you're into. But if you can't think of a good complex plot for your players or don't have the time, what to do? Why, the pre-packaged story, of course! The first edition of Changeling: the Lost had two of these released in the "Storyteller Adventure System" or SAS format: ENnie Award-winner "The Fear-Maker's Promise" and "The Rose-Bride's Plight". And here nearing the end of the run, The Fear-Maker's Promise Compilation collects them in print, along with a pre-generated "Personae" motley. Fetch took the extra step of running both modules for extra Storytelling insights, so tune in as we talk structures and characters while desperately maintaining our pledge of no spoilers.

NOTE: these two modules, the first one in particular, both feature some heavy themes. We don't go into deep detail about those topics in each during our discussion, but we do list some content warnings for your information, especially if you're going to pick up this book.

And speaking of picking up the book, you can do so here: https://www.storytellersvault.com/en/product/92561?affiliate_id=3063731. (For reasons unclear, it's listed as the Compendium on the Vault, despite the cover title...) The individual modules are also available at:

      Pooka G (any pronoun/they) is more of a cheer-baker than a fear-maker. Stuffing waffles for everyone!

      Amelia Fetch (she/her) knows there's no pledge so entangling that it can't be resolved by a dance-off.

      True, I talk of dreams;

      Which are the children of an idle brain,
      Begot of nothing but vain fantasy...
      —Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, I.iv.97–99
