You were once a mortal - you had a job and a family and a “normal” life.

Then, they came and took you - you were tempted, tricked, or forced to enter Arcadia, the realm of the Fae, powerful alien beings that have fueled humanity’s dreams and nightmares for millennia. You have escaped and returned to the world of humanity, but your time in Arcadia transformed you into something different, more beautiful, more terrifying, more crafty - less human. You try to build a new life for yourself and continue to live between the two worlds, seeking the peace of mundane existence while preparing for the day your fairy “keeper” returns to try to take you back.

You made it back.  You accepted that you were free.  You found yourself friends and a home.  Now, it's time to see if you'll survive.  They say the first year is the hardest. If you can make it through that, you can make it through anything.

The terror and mysticism of Autumn.  The intrigue and sorrow of Winter. The revelry and desire of Spring. The warfare and wrath of Summer.

Just make it through the first year.

This Changeling the Lost (2nd Edition) Chronicle will once a month for one year.

No experience is needed to join this chronicle. During session 0, we will establish safety rules as well as create your Motley and Motley pledge.  The Motley will need at least one character from every seasonal court.

You died but live still. You are a Sin-Eater - your pact with a Geist at the moment of your death allowed you to live on to resolve unfinished business for you - and for them.

For decades, your people have suffered through the Wars of the Diadochi, the “successors” to Alexander the Great who continue to fight over the lands of his empire. You and your fellow Sin-Eaters lead a cult of ghosts and mortals in the aspiring kingdom of Cappodocia. You help the living and dead to navigate the tolls of war and subjugation. But now a new threat arises, a dark necromancy that threatens your lands. How can you protect the people from this threat and find peace?

This story deals with themes of war, oppression, death, and the hope for a better future.

This Geist the Sin-Eaters (2nd edition) chronicle will run on the third Saturday of the month 12:00-4:00 pm Pacific time on Discord for a full season (September-May).

No experience is needed to join this chronicle. During the first session in September (session 0), we will establish safety rules as well as the mission of your cult (krewe) and develop the setting in which the story will take place based on your characters.

Classic gaming with elegant execution. Shadowdark RPG is what old-school fantasy gaming would look like after being redesigned with 50 years of innovation. Shadowdark RPG is a fantasy adventure game where you and your companions delve into buried ruins, lost cities, spider-infested forests, and even fearsome dragon lairs in search of gold and glory.

The game is fast, familiar, intuitive, and deadly. It’s built for sword-and-sorcery adventures where fell monsters slither in darkness and frosty gems glint upon forgotten thrones, waiting to be discovered.

In Shadowdark RPG, real time comes into play. A torch only holds back the looming darkness for one hour of actual game time! There isn't a moment to spare when your only light source is guttering low...

Get ready for old-school gaming in a whole new light!

Santa Fae - The Good, the Bad, and the Gentry

A Changeling the Lost Short Chronicle

In the heart of Santa Fe’s Freehold of the Four Directions (known to the locals as “Santa Fae”), Doña Cuna slumbers. For centuries, a darkness has infested the part of the hedge near the Plaza, causing those who sleep there to dream of her, the lady who devours peace and claims the vulnerable. If she can ever reawaken, she will envelop the freehold in her nightmares.

It is the summer of 2013 and strange things are afoot. Her Huntsman, El Caballero, has been spotted for the first time in years prowling the Dreaming Roads. Privateers nearly captured a member of the Freehold. A painting has gone missing from the Court of the East. A child was rescued from the Hedge after a ghost tempted her in. Could these unrelated events portend some master scheme by Doña Cuna to rise again?

Spire is a mile-high impossible city, older than anyone can remember. Two hundred years ago, the high elves – or aelfir, strange and beautiful masked creatures from the far north – took it from the dark elves after a brutal and bloody war. Now, they graciously allow dark elves, or drow, to live in the city if they perform four years of service to an aelfir lord once they come of age.

The brutal undercity of Red Row is more chaotic than ever. Where before gangs would pass each other with holstered weapons and wary glances, each keeping to their respective territories, now they engage in open warfare, and spireblack gunsmoke floats through the dark city. Families come apart, leaving children without mothers, begging on the streets for sustenance.

Things are coming apart, and ordinary people are getting caught in the middle. Someone is behind this. The player characters, all of them noted professionals in Red Row, gather their resistance cell together and start investigating.

You had a life. You may have had a job, a shitty 9-5 that sorta paid the bills or a late night counter service job. You may have had a family, a sister, brother, spouse that wasn’t perfect but hey, neither were you that’s for fucking sure. You may have even had things you enjoyed, hobbies you enjoyed with friends.

Keyword: had.

Now, you have a thirst for blood and something inside you urging you forward. Not to be better, not to improve. To step onward regardless of the mess you cause. A bestial thing forcing you to keep moving. It’s on you to reconcile your new situation with the life you had.

Good luck with that.
