Midnight Express

BK is joined by listeners (and all-round Changeling fans) Darling_Rose and Wendell_Burke for an episode dedicated to all things fae.

They talk about the 'last of the big five' in detail, covering the types of characters, stories, and settings Changeling players and storytellers can encounter, as well as providing a short overview of their favourite books from the line.

You can join us over at the community, via our Facebook page, or email us at [email protected].

In 'From the Bookshelf' they cover:

Midnight Express wraps up the first season with a Companion Reader episode for 'Halls of the Arcanum'.  After discussing over holiday viewing (The Battle of Five Armies, The Equaliser, 47 Ronin, Age of Extinction, and Only Lovers Left Alive) the hosts review this addition to 'Year of the Hunter'.  

You'll find not only an in-depth discussion of the Arcanum, but tips for using this organisation both as NPCs and for a PC chronicle.

We also mentioned Lexicity as a good source for dead language material in the Public Domain.

Thanks again to forum user Wendell_Burke for the bumpers in this episode.

The books mentioned in this episode were:

• Halls of the Arcanum

Join us in thirty for the first episode of Season 2 - Changeling: the Dreaming!

Hosts: Adrian BK, Beckett, and Mark.

Mage: the Ascension: the game line that demanded three hosts across three time zones!

Adrian, Beckett, and Mark plumb the depths of purple and gold arcana to discuss Mage: the Ascension.

After an overview of the core concepts of the game they dive into advice on running Mage chronicles, tackle Avatar issues, elaborate on Paradigm and meet Paradox head-on.

You can join in the discussion at the forum, drop by the Facebook page, or send an email via [email protected].

Thanks to forum user Darling_Rose for the bumper, and you can look forward to more fan-created content in the new year.

In From the Bookshelf, the hosts give reviews of:

• The Mage Translation Guide

Stay tuned for the Companion Reader episode to Mage which will review Halls of the Arcanum.

Hosts: Adrian, Mark, and Beckett.

In this episode, Beckett and Adrian BK discuss the role of prophecy and hidden knowledge in the oWoD.

They begin with an overview of the Insight power from Time of Thin Blood, then give examples from the other major game lines, and then focus on a couple of non-oWoD examples that could be useful to a chronicle.  

As always, the hosts offer lots of tips for using these concepts at your table.  We also pitch an idea for the next oWoD game line for development.

The books referenced in this episode include:

• Axis Mundi: the Book of Spirits

Stay tuned for Episode 09, where we'll do a Game Line Spotlight on Mage: the Ascension.

Hosts: Adrian BK and Beckett.
