In Changeling: The Lost, you take on the role of an ordinary person who has seen the extraordinary. Lured or abducted by the alien Gentry, you have passed the gates and Hedges between our world and the vast fantastic. Changeling: The Lost began in 2007, and amassed some of the most passionate fans the Chronicles of Darkness has ever known. Now, it’s reborn in its second edition, which tells new tales and builds on lessons learned in the past ten years. We’re jumping back into the brambles, and letting the scar tissue from last time protect us. Changeling: The Lost, Second Edition will include the many kinds of changelings and their Courts, powers and other perks for the Lost, antagonists such as Huntsmen, Hedge Ghosts, and of course the True Fae, and cities from around the world with their own local Courts.
Latest Updates from Our Project:
Final Update - Kith & Kin and Hollow Courts finalized and updated at DriveThru
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Dec 16, 2022 at 03:20:32 PM
Hello Changelings,
It's been about 6 weeks or so since the Hollow Courts Advance PDF went out to Kickstarter backers. In that update, I said I'd be back with an update one final time once our final two rewards had been finalized and updated on DriveThru.
Well, here we are. After taking all of your feedback, the development has made the corrections and updated the Page XX references and finalized these releases.
If you had already downloaded the Advance PDF for Kith & Kin and Hollow Courts back when they were distributed to you, you can find the latest version in your Digital Library on DriveThruRPG. You can either search your library for Kith and Kin or Hollow Courts or click on the "Updated Only" tab and grab it from there.
If you haven' t yet downloaded either of these books, your download links on your BackerKit Digital Rewards page will get you the latest version of the books. DriveThru always carries the latest version available.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://changeling-the-lost-2nd-edition.backerkit.com
With all reward links distributed, I will be leaving the BackerKit pledge manager active until March 15, 2023. You'll be able to access your digital reward redemption codes from your BackerKit page up until that date. Once you redeem your digital rewards, they will continue to be available in your DriveThru library, so this should only concern those who haven't yet clicked their links for any rewards to be received.
Related to all of these finalizations, it should be noted that DriveThru now also has versions of Hollow Courts in epub and mobi formats, as well as PDF (these should be in your DriveThru library as part of the update), and Kith and Kin is now also available in hardcover Print-on-Demand format, if you'd like to order a copy for your shelf.
And, with that final notice, I'm calling this our last official update for this project. Thank you again for your support over the past several years as we ran the campaign, managed our pledges, shipped our hardcover books and other rewards, sent out our PDF supplements and other Stretch Goal rewards, and have now seen everything released for general purchase.

Final Reward Distribution: Hollow Courts Fiction Anthology
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Nov 09, 2022 at 12:11:46 PM
Hello Changelings,
It's a big day for the Changeling: The Lost Second Edition project on Kickstarter. After a long struggle, the team have finished up with our final reward from the campaign. We've had our books for a long time, both in PDF and hardcover form, as well as our Jumpstart and Companion PDF, and our Kith & Kin backer PDF for a few months. But now we can officially shut down the "Pending Project" list and send out our last reward.
HOLLOW COURTS: A Changeling: The Lost Fiction Anthology
“Bring me the fairest girl in all the town,” the Crone croaked. She held out a thin hand, with too-long fingers counting too many digits, and skin dry and cracked like parchment. “And then you, my dear, can go home.”
Four seasons, four novellas. The stories of the Sleepy Hollow freehold take place over the course of a year, and the characters are changed forever as a result. Follow the stories of Brienne, Nicholas, Mel, and Seth as they struggle against both the nefarious huntsmen and their own worst instincts.
Hollow Courts contains:
“Thrice-Bound Heart” by Steffie De Vaan
“Slow Burn” by Lauren Roy
“On the Edge of All This” by Alethea Kontis
“Falling Back on Forever” by Monica Valentinelli and Spider B. Perry
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If you were a Kickstarter backer, your link to claim your HOLLOWCOURTS Advance PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruFiction as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DriveThru's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php
You should login to your DRIVETHRU account prior to clicking or pasting the redemption link for best results.
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://changeling-the-lost-2nd-edition.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.
This is the first version of HOLLOWCOURTS to be released. We've sent you this initial Advance PDF for three reasons:
1) I can't wait any longer! Litterally. I'm so happy to have this reward, I just want to get it (digitally) in front of you as fast as possible.
2) To thank you for your support! This project, literally, is a direct result of your support during the Kickstarter campaign. You deserve to see it before anyone else!
3) To make the final version the best it can be! The authors and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before Onyx Path releases it for sale.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the HOLLOWCOURTS Feedback Form!
Generally, Onxy Path tries to keep errata collection open for the next 2 weeks, so please report what you can as soon as possible to make sure they're getting everything covered.
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form. Please note this form will be for errata only. It won't be for general book discussion - you can do that in a different thread, or on the Kickstarter comments page.
Also, they already know about any Page XX notations - those are usually corrected after any changes are made and the books are being finalized.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!) and the page numbers are finalized, Onyx Path will prepare updated final versions of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruFiction that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.
SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the advance PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!
That's our final reward link out to backers, but this won't quite be my final update. I won't be sending regular month end summaries any more, but I will send an update once again when the final versions of Kith & Kin and Hollow Courts are available to re-download from your digital library at DriveThruRPG and DriveThruFiction. Again, that won't be a new reward or new link sent out via BackerKit - once it's finalized, the file will just be updated on the DriveThru platforms and you'll be able to download the latest version at your convenience.
This may be the final reward to come out of this crowdfunded effort, but it won't be the final Changeling: The Lost release. I'll make no projections about a possible release window for The Hedge, but you can keep track of all of Onyx Path's projects on their weekly Monday Meeting blog updates <here>.
With all reward links distributed, I will be leaving the BackerKit pledge manager active for another 4 months - until March 15, 2023 in fact. You'll be able to access your digital reward redemption codes from your BackerKit page up until that date. Once you redeem your digital rewards, they will continue to be available in your DriveThru library, so this should only concern those who haven't yet clicked their links for any rewards to be received.
At this point, any Backerkit pages with incomplete surveys or unpaid pledges have be closed and considered completely fulfilled. Unlikely that applies to anyone reading this, but if this is the first time you've paid attention to an update and have never visited your BackerKit page, you may want to double check to get your download codes.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://changeling-the-lost-2nd-edition.backerkit.com. You can also access your available DOWNLOADS from your BackerKit page.

Oct '22: Monthly Status Update - We're in Proofing!
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 10:50:33 PM
Hello Changelings,
As we slide closer to Hallowe'en, it's time for our bi-monthly update. Last time, we had distribution on Kith & Kin, our second last Stretch Goal reward. I don't have a distribution announcement just yet, but I do have some progress on our final reward...
FINAL REWARD STILL PENDING
The Fiction Anthology has started proofing!
Hollow Courts, the fiction anthology that we funded via Stretch Goal achievements, has now entered the proofing phase. We're not quite at the finish line, but at least we know that it exists up ahead!
You can read Onyx Path's last completed monthly summary, covering all projects and their status up to that point here: <September Project Status Summary>
I will continue to post regular updates every other month until the final Stretch Goal reward has gone out.

Aug '22 Update: Kith & Kin Distribution, Aether Ending
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Aug 17, 2022 at 06:46:19 PM
Hello Changelings,
It sorta feels like finding a $5 bill in your jacket after it's been in the closet for the past three seasons. That is to say, it's been quite a while since our Kickstarter ended and our primary rewards were sent out, but we're still seeing the seeds we planted during that campaign come to flower. Remember this Stretch Goal?
BOOK OF KITHS: CROWN – A section based on the Crown Regalia will be added to the book of Kiths ("Kith and Kin"), a supplement detailing, expanding, and examining the rules and options around kiths in Changeling: The Lost 2nd Edition. All backers receiving a hardcover, physical copy of the core rules (Pledge Level $50+) as part of their rewards will get KITH AND KIN as a PDF release.
And then we achieved a few others expanding it in scope and eventually setting it up as an Add On option for PDF backers (as it was automatically added to hardcover backers already)?
Anyway, enough of memory lane. It's time for a reward!
KITH & KIN Advance PDF
Kith and Kin is a companion book to Changeling: The Lost Second Edition, expanding on the core book. It contains:
A deep dive into the return from Arcadia, including details about the BriarNet, the Wishing Roads, and the Lunar Freehold, as well as additional options for Touchstones and Clarity
Expanded changeling powers, including new Regalia and Contracts, Regalia manifestations, expanded pledgecraft, and rules for the fae sympathetic magic known as dramaturgy
A vast selection of new kiths, as well as options for playing kithless characters and acquiring a kith in play
Advice and options for motleys: example motley oaths, a new type of Hedge ghost which feeds on those oaths, and structured motley conflict, as well as a discussion of forming motleys with non-changelings — other fae creatures, mortals, and other supernatural creatures as presented in other Chronicles of Darkness games
It's... a pretty big book! And it's finally here!
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
If this PDF was on your list of rewards (either because you backed at a hardcover reward tier or you added it on in BackerKit), your link to claim your Kith& Kin Advance PDF will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next day. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for this reward over the next 24hours if it is on your expected list of rewards.
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://changeling-the-lost-2nd-edition.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://changeling-the-lost-2nd-edition.backerkit.com. You can also access your available DOWNLOADS from your BackerKit page.
This is the first version of Kith& Kin to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Kith& KinFeedback Form!
They are aware of the Page XX notations - those are left in to replace for the final version once any changes you've suggested are made, so they can reference the correct page if any shifts in layout result.
Onxy Path will keep errata collection open for the next 2 weeks. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file - and working on our print version as well!
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), they will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.
SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the advance PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!
FINAL REWARD STILL PENDING
The fiction anthology is last on the list.
One final reward. I'll keep sending out bi-monthly updates until it's in your (digital) hands. I am as eager for it to go out as you are.
You can read Onyx Path's monthly summary for June, covering all projects and their status up to that point here: <July Project Status Summary>
You can find the weekly Monday Meeting blog updates <here>, which note any projects with status changes since the previous Month End summary. The project statuses listed are current as of last Monday, so do check it out each Monday night to see if anything may have progressed!
A huge thank you to everyone for your patience while the team dealt with developer changes and reassignments and global pandemics and all sorts of hurdles that I'm sure they're so glad they've finally cleared. One more reward to go!
