Detractors will say this book isn't that great; it's too dark, the hopefulness of Changeling: The Dreaming isn't honored here, it's mired in horror and degradation. Many claiming the title of abuse survivor says this is an insult to what they've been through.
All I can say is: Grow up.
Changeling: The Lost is a masterwork; people who simply say 'this is a victim' game doesn't look at the whole. They barely even skim the surface. No one sees how retaking one's life is a POSI...more

I loved C:tD. I really do not like C:tL. As I'm reading it, I find that I have to agree with the detractors. C:tD had, at it's core, a sense of hope. It was about finding, creating and encouraging Beauty in an ugly, cruel world. C:tL has no hope. The hope was ripped violently away before the game ever started. There's no chance it'll ever, ever get better and the best that can be hoped for is that you manage to survive broken and altered without being re-captured or killed by the True Fae. What ...more
I felt great excitement and trepidation when Changeling: the Lost was announced; excitement that White Wolf’s Changeling line was getting new life (after the fizzling ending in Time of Judgment (no disrespect to the authors mind you) and trepidation because I knew it wouldn’t be like Changeling: the Dreaming. And that is something you defiantly have to keep in mind. As soon as the cover was released I knew this was a whole different game, one with a less colorful palate.

White Wolf's re-launch of its World of Darkness series has been met with mixed reactions from the gaming community, but I am happy to say that their reinterpretation of Changeling has taken this odd-game-out title and made it into a contender for best game of the series.

This is a marked improvement over Changeling: The Dreaming. It brings the dark back into this World of Darkness title. If I could find someone to run a game I think I have a couple of good ideas for characters. It wasn't until I was well into the Storyteller section that I started to get ideas on how to run a game. I think I'd probably have to pick up a couple of the suplements to really get a handle on being Storyteller for it but I had to do the same for Werewolf: The Forsaken.
I was originally worried that I would not like the New World of Darkness books, as I was a very large fan of the original universe. However after reading Changeling I was very impressed. I like the ideas and the rules that they have come up with. It has jump started a lot of ideas for me, and has inspired me to read the other main rule books of the New World of Darkness.
Changeling: The Dreaming was good, but Changeling: The Lost is pure awesome. I'd say more, but that covers it. Fans of both traditional and story games will find something here to enjoy. In my opinion, this is the best I have seen from White Wolf in the last decade.
This is possibly everything that Changeling: the Dreaming wanted to be but couldn't. My only real complaint I think is that it gets a bit tiring hearing about how much changelings suffer PTSD. Other than that? Quite enjoyable.
