Chronicles of Darkness - Changeling: the Lost Second Edition

"Once upon a time, they took you from your home.

They promised you a place at their side, and meaning in your life,
and surrounded you with beautiful things. But the beautiful things were oh so sharp, and they laughed when you bled.
Day by day, they changed you. But day by day, your will grew stronger.
On the last day, you smashed your way through the beautiful things and ran,
not noticing as you bled or feeling as your cried
You fought with courage and cleverness and took yourself home.
Now the beauty and the horror are yours, to have and to hold and to live.
Welcome to once upon right fucking now."

Overview

Changeling: The Lost is a game about those people in awful situations, who have mustered the strength to move on. It’s about learning to survive in a new world, one that looks like the one you grew up in, but one you’ll never see the same way because of what you’ve been through. It’s about struggling to find a balance between facing the world, and looking back and healing. It’s about knowing that you could become a victim at any time, and trying to walk the line between security and paranoia. It’s about staying safe while not consuming your life by dwelling on the past. It’s about dealing. It’s about growing. It’s about healing.
