So, it looks like White Wolf is bringing the entre World of Darkness (setting of its most successful game lines) to an end. Not a lot of details yet, but it seems that this ending will actually be a rebirth and shake up of some kind. It'll be interesting.


It's also a kick in the gut. Along with news of this ending comes sad news.

"Changeling is going away, and it’s not coming back. You will never get Book of Glamour or Kithbook: Boggan or Keys to the Kingdom. If Changeling ever does come back, it won’t be in the form that you know, and you’re better off not comparing the new to the old, because then you’ll be missing out on the wonder of the new game. The story is ending. It is time to wake up from the dream."

Blackhat Matt, who will be overseeing development of the Changeling portion of the end, has written an essay (source of the quote above), first expressing his feelings concerning the end of Changeling, then giving us, the fans, a hint of what this Time of Judgement will have for the Fae. What will it have? Thirty thousand words. Depending on artwork, it's a little more than two dozen pages to wrap it all up, and that's it.

This is an emotional thing for me, on level with how I felt about the end of BtVS. This game was my Buffy before I found Buffy, and its end is no less painful.
