A Return To The Hedge With Kris Edinger's Debut Supplement For Changeling: The Lost!

Regular readers around these parts know that I'm a big fan of Changeling: The Lost. In fact, if you look at my archive, it's the game I've published the second most supplements for on Storytellers Vault, with titles like Like A Good Neighbor: Portraying True Fae in Your Chronicle, 100 Rumors To Hear At The Freehold, or even the popular 100 Frailties, for when your characters start getting powerful enough to warrant these fairy tale restrictions.

However, the most popular supplement I've written for Changeling has been 100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments To Find In The Hedge. Maybe it was because folks wanted more unique offerings to find in the world between, or maybe it was because it predated the official book released for the Hedge. Whatever the reason, it's been my top seller for the game, and for folks who wish there was more of it (or you just want a companion piece to go with it), you should pick up the debut release from Kris Edinger...

... it's fittingly titled 100 More (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments To Find In The Hedge!

And if you're a New World or Chronicles of Darkness player, you're going to want this one!

A Solid Supplement (That I Have A Vested Interest In)

For those of you wondering what the story behind this supplement is, Kris Edinger is a friend of mine, and someone that I've been getting into Changeling for a while now. Their first character was a Fall Court Hedge witch, who used a number of the creations I made for 100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge, because since I was running the chronicle I felt I should allow my own creations to be used if players wanted them. However, as expansive as the list was, they kept coming up with new ideas of their own... and I eventually convinced them to do something with that list of additional ideas!

It took nearly a year of work (a lot has been going on), and a good amount of encouragement from several of their fellow players and writers, but Kris eventually finished their sequel to my supplement. And since this is their debut piece, I wanted to encourage as many folks as possible to grab their copies of 100 More (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments To Find In The Hedge.

I also wanted to give my readers a bit of a sneak peek as to where Kris's head is as a designer, and what we might see from them next!

Because there have been quite a few ideas kicked out!

In no particular order, ideas include:

- A Hedge-based cookbook, featuring Moss (who was also part of the introductory story in Kris's first release)

- 100 Animals To Find In Creation (an expansion meant for Exalted)

- 100 Gods To Find In Creation (a second idea for this game and setting)

While there are others (a few more for Changeling, and maybe 1 or 2 for Hunter: The Vigil), these are the most likely supplements. So, if you enjoy my work on Changeling, consider grabbing this piece from Kris to expand your Hedge-based offerings that much wider, and to encourage them to get to work on the next supplement ASAP!

And if you've already got both supplements for goblin fruits and oddments, consider grabbing some of the following pieces from yours truly to help flesh out your Hedge a little more:

- Buyer Beware: 10 Goblin Markets

- 10 Gateways Into (And Out Of) The Hedge

- 100 Hobs To Meet In The Hedge

- 100 Strange Sights To See In The Hedge

Want More Fae in Pathfinder or 5e? Help Support The Faerie Ring!

EDIT: For those who came across this recently, the campaign is over, and the book is now available! If you want to check out The Faerie Ring, it's up at RPG Now, and other fine retailers. There's also a campaign guide for Along The Twisting Way if you're looking to increase your adventure!

There are certain monsters you just expect to see in your average campaign. You're going to see devils and demons, you're probably going to have to deal with goblins, orcs, or kobolds, and some variety of undead. And, if you're very good, or very lucky, you're likely going to have to fight a dragon at some point. Depending on how angry you've made the DM, there may be a template or two on said dragon.

But what about when you're tired of all that? You've slain half a dozen lich kings, slaughtered a clutch worth of great wyrms, and you've upholstered your furniture in demon hide. Where can you go to get some adventure back in your game?

The Faerie Ring, of course!

Come dance in the circle... what's the worst that could happen?

What's The Faerie Ring?

I'm glad you asked!

The Faerie Ring is a Kickstarter going on right now from Zombie Sky Press, and the goal is to fully flesh out the fae as a race, and to give you more than the occasional quickling or redcap to add in to your campaign. The Faerie Ring gives you fae overlords, and details their realms and cities both on the material plane, and off it. It provides histories of these great lords and ladies, as well as the origins and tales of how the lesser fae races came to be. The book provides all the lore you could ask for, and then some, while also providing new creatures, templates, and even playable fae races for those who want to do something truly different with their games. More than just a bloodline and the few traits you're used to!

Who wouldn't want to get in on this action?

Also, just in case all that sweet, sweet world building wasn't enough to entice you, The Faerie Ring will also provide adventures for your players! Players who, unless they have a love of Celtic mythology and a rapacious appetite for Irish folklore, will be entering a world they're almost completely unfamiliar with.

Not only that, but this content is brought to you by some heavy hitters in the game design scene, including Monica Marlowe, Wolfgang Baur, Scott Gable, and Clinton Boomer!

Really, why wouldn't you want something this unique sitting on your game shelf, tempting players with truly unusual adventures in the realms unseen? All you have to do is help Kickstart it, and to do that, just check out the campaign and pledge today!
