Welcome to Buena Vista

Welcome to Buena Vista, Texas

This is a chronicle that primarily focuses on the Changeling Freehold known as the Silver Spire and their struggle against The God Machine. A recently finished skyscraper serves as a God Machine facility referred to as The Panopticon. Business goes on as usual with numerous corporations holding offices inside the building, unaware that their technical resources are being put to use for a singular purpose: Find the saboteurs. Unfortunately for the freehold, the God Machine suspects they're harboring the culprits. An operation led by Ziegfried Zapf, Sorcerer of Autumn, disabled a quantum computer and occult matrix that would have allowed the God Machine to pierce the Mask protecting the fae from observation. Many in the freehold aware of the operation fear that the God Machine will begin a campaign of reprisal.

Allowed Books

Character features from the following books are allowed without approval by default. If you think a feature may cause problems for the game, you are encouraged to bring it up with the Storyteller. Additional books may be brought in with Storyteller approval. Other gamelines may be considered, but will generally require more working, as this will be a campaign centered around Changelings and mortals.

  • Changeling: The Lost, Second Edition
  • Oak, Ash, and Thorn
  • Chronicles of Darkness
  • Hurt Locker
  • Second Sight, Third Eye (Storyteller's Vault)

Homebrew and Expanded Content

Homebrew can be considered for "flavor" reasons and making character concepts work. A number of Expanded and Homebrew Merits from other gamelines have been made available and will be updated as new abilities are added. Players familiar with 1st Edition Changeling may request updated versions of 1st Edition Contracts if they are important to their character concept.

Mechanics

I intend to use some mechanics I haven't experienced, so bear with me during those segments.
