episode 122 — night horrors: grim fears

It's the most spoopiest tiiiime of the year...! As we enter Halloweek, it seems appropriate that we're delving into a stack of antagonists gruesome and strange for Changeling: the Lost's first edition, namely Night Horrors: Grim Fears. Heartless changelings (literally, in at least one case), peculiar hobgoblins, and stranger things abound. This was the first book in the line after their decision to extend it beyond the initial six books, so it had a lot of expectation to live up to. It's focused on its brief—seriously, it's just write-ups for possible foes, one after the other—but they're done with remarkable diligence and depth. We're talking about each one in turn this week, highlighting some favorites and talking about their utility in games, so get your shields up and dive in with us.

The book is available for purchase at https://www.storytellersvault.com/en/product/58364?affiliate_id=3063731, and until the end of October, it's 40% off as part of the Month of Darkness sale.

Pooka G (any pronoun/they) knows there's nothing to fear except fear itself. And also that guy who locks eyes with you while licking a dagger. Amelia Fetch (she/her) painted the living room grim, but did the ceiling cheery to bring it in a bit, and confusing on an accent wall for variety.

We have met the enemy and he is us. —Walt Kelly, Pogo
