  • Shadowrun Changeling SR6
    CHANGELING IN THE 6TH WORLD Version 1.1 by Ed “Runner Smurf” Pichon INTRODUCTION This is a writeup on how to use the old WhiteWolf Changeling setting and characters in Shadowrun. This writeup is updated for Shadowrun 6th Edition. I have often thought that the themes of Changeling, my favorite World of Darkness game, corresponded quite well with the Shadowrun campaign setting - faerie tales, ancient magics re- turned, corrupted innocence, struggling against an oppressive world. The Court of Shadows book, while an interest- ing attempt to bring more faerie tale elements into Shadowrun, didn’t quite do enough for me. After some experi- ments in my own games, I have found that bringing Changeling into can work quite well. Inspired by the release of the Changeling 20th Anniversary Edition, I have decided to revise and codify my house rules for bringing kithain into the 6th World. This writeup attempts to give some guidance on how to do it, and give ideas for addressing the technical questions. I suspect that there aren’t a lot of people who know and love both games, but for those of you that do, hopefully this will be useful to you. This is aimed at SR 6th Edition. I will be updating frequently as I get used to how 6th edition works, and have some practical experience in my games. Many thanks to the folks that put together the Changeling 20th Anniversary Edition (C20) - it’s a fantastic book, and a great compilation of all that has been put together for Changeling over the years, with some good updates.

    Changeling Mechanics Packet Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Tempers, Seemings, Traits, Etc. Chapter 2: Birthrights, Frailties, Boons, Flaws Chapter 3: Merits and Flaws Chapter 4: Realms Chapter 5: Arts Chapter 6: Bunks Chapter 7: Treasures and Inanimate Chimera Chapter 8: New Art Guidelines Chapter 9: Legendary Magic 1 Introduction: Unlike Werewolf and Vampire, Changeling received little in the way of Revised support and never received updated rules from the original printing. The two LARP books (Shining Host and the Shining Host Players Guide) stand among the most confusing and poorly written texts among MET regarding mechanics. The goal of this packet is to serve as a revised set of rules for Changeling-specific mechanics to be used as a baseline for the Org. While it is non-binding, it is strongly recommended that games wishing to employ changelings (either as prime genre or in addition to other genres) use these rules *particularly in regards to Arts and Realms* as a baseline, employing perhaps limited house rules from there. This packet includes many house rules and translations from various games around the org (borrowed with permission) and is by no means a singular effort. It also includes several optional rules for chronicles to customize their preferences, as well as frequently requested guidelines for things like adjudicating treasures. Finally, it also includes some original content for games to use if they so wish. Throughout the work, the author will seek to describe the reasons behind the material presented and the philosophy governing the recommendations. Chapter 1: Tempers, Seemings, Traits, Etc. Traits and tempers are among the most significant aspects of any MET rules set.

  • 'Fairy' in Middle English Romance

Cole A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the School of English in the University of St Andrews 17 December 2013 i ABSTRACT My thesis, ‘Fairy in Middle English romance’, aims to contribute to the recent resurgence of interest in the literary medieval supernatural by studying the concept of ‘fairy’ as it is presented in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Middle English romances. This thesis is particularly interested in how the use of ‘fairy’ in Middle English romances serves as an arena in which to play out ‘thought-experiments’ that test anxieties about faith, gender, power, and death. My first chapter considers the concept of fairy in its medieval Christian context by using the romance Melusine as a case study to examine fairies alongside medieval theological explorations of the nature of demons. I then examine the power dynamic of fairy/human relationships and the extent to which having one partner be a fairy affects these explorations of medieval attitudes toward gender relations and hierarchy. The third chapter investigates ‘fairy-like’ women enchantresses in romance and the extent to which fairy is ‘performed’ in romance.

  • Gnomes and Imps: the Mythology of Brownies
    Gnomes and Imps: The Mythology of Brownies by Nicola Higgins 1 Co Contents Introduction 3 Brownies 4 Gnomes 5 Imps 6 Elves 7 Pixies 8 Sprites 9 Leprechauns 10 Ghillie Dhu 11 Kelpies 12 Bwbachod 13 Bibliography 14 2 Introduction "What I am going to do?" their mother sighed. "I can't keep the cottage tidy. If only we had a Brownie!" " What's a Brownie?" asked Tommy. "A Brownie is a magical little creature, which slips into houses very early before anyone is awake. It tidies toys, irons clothes, washes dishes and does all sorts of helpful things in secret," replied his mother. From The Brownie Story As many seven, eight and nine year-olds across the country could tell you, Brownies are magical little creatures, which come in the night and do secret good turns. They don’t ask for thanks or praise, they don’t expect payment. They simply come, do some chore that has been left undone, and then vanish to wherever they came from. But what else do we know about them? And what about Imps, Elves and Pixies? Gnomes, Sprites, and Ghillie Dhu? Not to mention Leprechauns, Kelpies and Bwbachod? This book tells stories of the hidden races. Imps at play, and Gnomes at work, Irish Leprechauns with their pots of gold and Scottish Kelpies who live in rivers and lakes. Read on and discover a whole new world! 3 Brownies The Brownie is a household creature. They are generally live in country houses, but have been known to appear in the city. They are friendly towards humans – though adults never see them.
