Recovered from the deepest, darkest, recycle bin in digital subspace via forbidden technologies here is the first half of Session 6. Before infiltrating the Avalon Interactive office, the crew comes up with a plan of attack, visits the admiral, and fails to convince the police that they are a totally legitimate electrical repair crew. Apologies for posting out of order. Blame Simon. Special thanks to Josh Heath from Werewolf: the Podcast. Countless Dreams can be found on the Storyteller's Vault.

Breaking away from the relentless pursuit of metaplot research Simon and Victor decide to dive into Changeling's Year of the Ally installment The Enchanted. This book focuses on the Dreaming's oft neglected and misused children, the Enchanted and the Kinnain. If you've never been certain how to use mortals in your Changeling games come listen to Simon and Victor's take on Dreaming's treatment of the Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve, and Sprogs of the Apple who guide their fae family through the treacherous waters of Banality. The themesong for this episode was Je voudrais être un pigeon by Monplaisir. If you want to enrich your games with broken, fed up family members who see your characters for the dysfunctional messes they are, but keep on keeping on because this is the World of Darkness and Glamour addiction is very VERY real pick up your own copy of The Enchanted.

If you've been listening since the beginning of Walking Away from Arcadia you've heard the glowing mythic stories we tell about the last book in the original Changeling line, War in Concordia. You've also heard Simon and Victor thrash and struggle when they read through their favorite books with an intentionally critical eye. Listen to find out how the somewhat rushed conclusion to the "Revised" Changeling metaplot fared when they dug into the details in earnest. The themesong for this episode was Je voudrais être un pigeon by Monplaisir. If you want to dive into the cascading breakdown of Concordian society you can pick up War in Concordia through this convenient link and help us fund the glorious revolution coming for those Gwydion tyrants.

Going back to where it all began!  Kingdom of Willows depicts the fall of High King David, revealing the details behind the event that almost shattered Concordia. More than merely the establishment of the game's first real "current" canon, Kingdom of Willows is also the first book detailing a location in the Changeling: The Dreaming line. Covering a much broader area than the city books of Vampire, Kingdom of  Willows tries something that arguably had never been attempted before in the World of Darkness. Join Simon and Victor and see how they think Willows fared with it's attempted innovations. The themesong for this episode was Je voudrais être un pigeon by Monplaisir. If you would like to participate in the fall of David at your table Kingdom of Willows is waiting for you. Maybe you can build some intrigue still winding it's way through the halls of Parliament even after all these forgotten years.

After a confusing display of disloyalty to our commoner brethren in our review of Book of Houses 1, and then a stunning betrayal of our new Sidhe overlords in our review of Book of Houses 2 what will Simon and Victor have to say in their review of Fool's Luck: The Way of the Commoner? Spoilers, it's complicated. 1 part history of the fae, 2 parts splat book with no specific splat, come listen and find out what this elfless "wonderland" is all about. The themesong for this episode was Je voudrais être un pigeon by Monplaisir.

The ages of the fae have now fallen to the mists. The Resurgence has come and gone, and a generation of changelings only remember the Accordance War through the fog of remembrance. For the first time Simon and Victor will dive into a portion of the metaplot written to directly impact the story at your table as it unfolds. Your fearless leaders can finally lay off the speculative game of "can we reshape this into something practical?", at least for the most part.  Join us as we explore the event that created living Changeling: The Dreaming metaplot and see how usable we really think it is at your table.

The team has fought their way into the heart of Avalon's operation. This episode is the second half of the final play session, so we pick up with the players just as they are about to take the final plunge into their invisible enemy's development lab. They don't know what they are facing, and they will need grace and luck to wipe Hunter's Augment from the face of the chimerical net. Join us for the conclusion to our crew's daring mission to save the chimerical denizens of Seattle from the most aggressive anthropic threat since the tidal event brought the Countless crashing into the singularity.

You were stunned when your fearless rebel leaders were revealed as turncoats in the review of Book of Houses 1. Will we lavish our sidhe oppressors with another wave of unimaginable "praise", will be confirm our position in the Dreaming as stealth turncoat loyalists, or has the Shining Host's time finally come? There's only one way to find out.   The themesong for this episode was Je voudrais être un pigeon by Monplaisir.

Stopping the assaults on Seattle's holographic population has taken on new urgency as our crew discovers they aren't the only target. They must find allies in their fight to stop the violent plans of Avalon International. Estie has deeper connections to the movers and shakers of Seattle's supernatural community than she's revealed, but will it be enough to broker a safe alliance with the wolves? If it isn't there is little hope of saving Seattle. Nothing motivates like desperation, and after dropping face first into a singularity, what's the worst that could happen?

Crafted and wild, Simon and Victor's opinions on the Inanimae swing as wildly as the narrative about when exactly the Solimonds were first shaped by human hands while reviewing Inanimae: The Secret Way. Diving further into the history and book design than their original episode on the Inanimae this is the episode for you if you ever wondered how the sessile ones actually fit into the world of changeling.

From one Interregnum to another we end our long break with a deep dive into the time between springs. What were the fae up to after the Silver Gate came crashing down? Memories vary, but isn't that when changelings are at their best? Simon and Victor explore the mysterious centuries where Banality reigned and the changelings we know and love truly came into their own. Join us as we discuss the history every changeling storyteller reconstructs to reflect their own twisted dreams.

Today, Katherine helps Victor and Simon discuss Dreaming's Year of the Lotus product: Land of 8 Million Dreams. Then we all drink to forget. The themesong for this episode was Je voudrais être un pigeon by Monplaisir. You can find this book if you look for it, but we're not helping you with your cringe addiction. Frankly, we're kind of worried for you.

Hope everyone survived their gluttony holiday. Taking a quick break from our regularly scheduled metaplot walk through to discuss the MET Storyteller's Vault release of their Changeling: the Dreaming LARP book. We tried to limit ourselves to the narrative elements of the book since our LARP experience is pretty thin, but we both though it was a good offering. The art was an especial highlight. The themesong from this episode was LSD by Mon Plaisir. If you'd like to pick up MET's Changeling: the Dreaming, you can do so here.

Rejoin our crew as reality gets too real for them and they take in the vistas on a brief vacation to Digital Subspace.

Probably not the worst in the Dreaming lineup (that would be Land of 8 Million Dreams), but Denizens of the Dreaming should get at least nominated for an ignobel prize in game development. Join Victor and Simon as they attempt (and mostly fail) to find something nice to say about the book that exists as paper-thin connective tissue between 2nd edition and the Time of Judgment plot Dreaming barely got.

We're almost done with the our prelude for Changeling: the Dreaming's history. Soon we'll be able to stop saying things like, "because of the Mists", "Remembrance is a whole thing", "every book has a different take on this". It's going to be amazing. But for now we're talking about the Shattering and we're going to be leaning pretty hard on our greatest hits of how to hammer the Dreaming pre-history together. Join us as we attempt to explain the strange, slow-motion, path of the Shattering's migration across the mortal world. The themesong from this episode was LSD by Mon Plaisir.

Today Victor and Simon will lose all their anti-Nobility anarcho-syndicalist something something Shadow Court something pro-proletariat cred by reviewing Book of Houses I: Noblesse Oblige and mostly having nice things to say about it. If you're curious about the four major Seelie Houses in Concordia (Gwydion, Eiluned, Dougal, Fiona) or the delegitimized House of rejects who got exiled in the most contrived and somehow boring way possible (Liam) this book is for you. The themesong for this episode was Je voudrais être un pigeon by Monplaisir.
