The Inanimae: Playful Things

Join Victor and Simon as we discuss and try to do the complicated, messy, world of the Inanimae justice. We get into the Phyla of the Inanimae, their Empires, storyline, and motivations and ways to make Inanimae blend better into a broad Changeling: the Dreaming game.

The readings from this conversation were from Dark Ages: Fae, Inanimae: the Secret Way, and Wooden Feathers by Ursula Vernon.

The music from this episode was “LSD” by Mon Plaisir.

Unleashing something far crunchier than they have ever tackled before, Simon and Victor dive headfirst into the Arts and Realms. This episode will look at the most substantial changes to magic in the 20th Anniversary release of Changeling: The Dreaming.  From the safety of carefully constructed bunks to the untamed chaos of Unleashings gone wrong we will explore every corner of Fae magic.

The readings from this episode are from The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradly, No More Talk of Birds by Simon Eichhörnchen and Onion Girl by Charles de Lint

Coming almost all the way out of the Dreaming today Victor and Simon discuss the places mortals occupy in Changeling: the Dreaming. Stretching from those mortals conducted into the Dreaming by intentional effort, to those born with awareness of chimerical reality, to those who hunt the Fae, this conversation roams pretty far.

The readings from this conversation were from Dreams Underfoot and The Onion Girl, both by Charles deLint.

Join us today with our guest Salih, with whom we discuss storytelling and playing Changeling: the Dreaming in his Istanbul. In this conversation we talk about what regional myths and stories fit into the kiths, common misconceptions held by outsiders, and the somewhat awkward place a game about half-human/half-spirit beings occupies in cultures that have possession but not a concept like “changeling”.

The readings from this conversation were from Two Years, Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie

The music from this episode was You, yourself and the main character” by Komiku, and LSD by Mon Plaisir.

Elves, elves, elves! Join Victor and Simon today as we discuss the Sidhe, their place in Concordia and in storytelling Changeling, and some of their more often overlooked elements such as their trouble with linear time. We get into their roles in Court politics, their Houses, and their political Impulses. We also veer off into their origins in real world mythology, so buckle up -- one whole episode devoted to only one and a half kiths!

The readings from today’s conversation were “The Hosting of the Sidhe” by William Butler Yeats, and “Fool’s Luck: the Way of the Commoner”. The music from today’s conversation was LSD by Monplaisir.

Bonus Round!
