[RPG]: Changeling: The Lost, reviewed by Darren MacLennan (5/5)

http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/13/13411.phtml

Darren MacLennan's Summary:

It's one of the best games in the new World of Darkness. Fantastic without being cutesy, endlessly versatile, resonant - hell, just buy it.

Re: [RPG]: Changeling: The Lost, reviewed by Darren MacLennan (5/5)

Darren, when you said you were writing a review, you can't believed how worried I got. But you were very nice to my bit, so that's all right.

But anyway, while I appreciate people giving stuff I worked on 10/10, the review doesn't support that score (it's surely a 4/4 at best). How come the top marks?

At a bare minimum, you can put those dots into - let's see - four generic Contracts, one Seeming, two Mantle, one Goblin - you can put those five dots into eight separate powers, each with its own merits.
Are you sure about that?

'Cause it's goddamn good stuff. I liked Werewolf a lot; I thought that it was an excellent game, but Changeling is even better. Most of my review consists of wrestling with the problems that I did have with it, but even with those problems, every RPer should have a copy.

Nope, usually means only five Contracts. Plus, you don't buy Mantle with Contract dots; that's solely the province of Merit dots.
