"We are the
music makers and we are the dreamer of dreams.
Yet we are the movers and shakers of the world forever, it
seems."
Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy
First off, if you ask me, Changeling is one of the best, misunderstood role-playing games out there. If you haven't played, don't knock the system. Changeling is the story of childhood dreams and hopes. With Endless Winter approaching, comes the death of hope, the death of dreams. And without hope, without dreams, why should any of the other denizens of the World of Darkness care? Why should the Vampires care about Gehenna? Werewolves, why care about the Apocalypse, Wraiths, your dead, why cling to a life that no longer wants you? Mages, so what about power and ascension. Hunters, there's too many monsters, why even try?
Changeling: the Dreaming is the story of these hopes, dreams and desires made manifest. Destroy your dreams, you destroy hope. So while having the appearance of being the most light hearted of the World of Darkness series put out by White Wolf, when you get to the heart of it, Changeling is easily the most darkest of the other Storytelling games out there.
"I have
spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you
tread on my dreams."
W.B. Yeats; He Wishes for the Clothes of Heaven

"Come away,
O' human Child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of
weeping you can understand."
W.B. Yeats; The Stolen Child
