 enjoyable with some small flaws February 8, 1997
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Changeling: the Dreaming has many virtues and a few flaws.White Wolf has done it again. Their latest effort has many virtues. The background is wonderful and full of suprises. The blend of old stories with modern settings has many opportunities for fun and exciting role-playing. The character types are very interesting and varied. The artwork throughout the book is excellent and all of the pages are in full color. There are a couple of flaws. The first is many aspects of the game are very ambigious. A great deal of interpretation is needed in many places. The system for glamour (magic) given uses cards and is very cumbersome. The rest of the system is standard White Wolf fare. I would reccomend buying this game because it is a lot of fun to play. The player's guide (sold seperately) help clear up many aspects of the game and is almost a neccessity.

I may be biased, but this is possibly my favourite role-playing game. Firstly, the subject matter appeals to me. The protagonists are fairies, magical creatures. They are hosted within not-quite ordinary people (it's a simbiotic relationship), and they live on Glamour. That translates as Fun, Exciting and Interesting Stuff. Much of the action of the game - from fighting dragons to thwarting evil barons - takes place in what the rest of the world would consider the Changelings' collective imagination. That's right, it's a giant game of make-believe. The default theme is a sort of medieval feudalism revival, but it's not the only possible one. The last point of note is that the chapter on how to run a game suggests using the basic myth structure. In this way the children (as many of the characters are) can defeat the monster, symbollicly descend to the underworld, pass through their trials, and be back in time for dinner. As an added bonus, the rules are well set out and fairly easy to find. It's all about keeping imagination alive.
Best White Wolf Game!!! April 7, 2002
Forget the others. This is the one. The artwork is great, the descriptions and settings are great. The magic system IS a bit ambiguous, but who cares? It's not an impossible task to work SOMETHING out and your creative investment is well worth it. I haven't played with the next edition, but the artwork isn't nearly as good, and I get the feeling that the only reason they have a new edition at all is to make the system less all-inclusive, to sell supplements. You don't even really need to buy any of the books besides this one, especially if you have the Player's Guide to another WW game. Get out of your deep dark danky dungeons of despair for one night and give this one a shot. Buy before they've all disappeared!

An excellent read. much better written then many other rpg's and much more thought out. as you read more suppliments the game gets more elaborate and thrilling.

A game in that whole White Wolf family. This one is a little lighter in tone, being set in and amonster the world and peoples of faerie and the fey. A lot of sneaking around and fooling the mortals, and hopefully not being disappeared by mages, eaten by werewolves or tormented by vampires.
