The other addiction
Someone posted a potential game on Rondaks in the new World of Darkness for Changeling: the Lost. I knew they were going to put it out, but this was the first I'd heard of it actually being out. (Because it's pointless to pay any attention to "Coming in XX" announcements when they always turn out to be dementedly optimistic.) Needless to say, this means I had to find a copy for myself.
It's bitchin' so far. Much darker than the original Changeling - mainly because instead of being exiled fae, you play a mortal that was kidnapped by the fae and now has returned to the mortal world somehow, but changed. I've only gotten a short way into it (not counting the necessary quick skim to find the obvious differences, of course) and I am entirely impressed. I may even join the posted game just to see if it's worth my time.
But get this - after I picked it up from the book desk (cuz I couldn't just find it on the shelf, I had to order it) I went to see if they had anything else interesting, and I managed to find a used copy of Demon: the Fallen from the old WoD. I had skimmed it some before, but didn't want to blow a bunch of cash on a book I would probably never get to use. I just love finding things with a big sticker on them that says Used. So very handy. I managed to get that nearly $30 book for just under $6.50. Is that out of control or what?
So now I have two big hardback rulebooks to pore over for the next couple weeks or so, which means my evil brain may have new ideas bubbling in it soon. Maybe a touch frustrating, considering how fucking difficult the gaming urge is to fulfill anymore, but I still love the feeling of a great plot coming together in my head.
