Changeling: The Lost 2nd Edition

Created by Onyx Path - Changeling The Lost

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:

March 2018 Update
about 6 years ago – Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 11:31:04 PM

Hello Changeling Community!

Welcome to Almost March! Just wanted to send a super-quick update to touch base and make sure that communication is constant and consistent.  

Quick update: No major status changes, all systems go, projects being worked on.

Longer update:

Most pledges have been confirmed, and a few responses are still trickling in. If you need to have your survey re-sent, information is at the bottom section of this update. In addition, the "Pre-Order" page for those who missed out on the kickstarter campaign has seen a lot of activity, so we'll have even more Changelings on this side of the Hedge.

The good news is that we've had our first two rewards fulfilled - the Chronicles of Darkness 2E Core Book Bundle and the awesome Arcadian Memories 1E Bundle have both been released and should be available for download in your Digital Downloads section in the BackerKit pledge and reward manager <LINK>

I know it may seem counter-intuitive that we've been able to fulfill the Chronicles of Darkness core book bundle but not the single Chronicles of Darkness rulebook PDF yet, but putting the bundles together and processing the codes involved a lot of fiddly work, and we wanted to make sure that we got all of the details right rather than rush it to get one more file out. 

That said, the next reward on my priority list is the Chronicles of Darkness core rules PDF, so hoping to have that out before my next update for April.  

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

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://changeling-the-lost-2nd-edition.backerkit.com/faq

This isn't March yet!

So I'm sending out the March update a day early, because the next day will be fairly busy for your humble Kickstarter Concierge! We're just about to start the 24 Hour Countdown on Onyx Path's current project, TRINITY CONTINUUM RPG & ÆON SETTING. I'd be remiss if I didn't post a quick blurb and invite you to join in before it's too late... tomorrow!

The Trinity Continuum is a vast timeline of adventure, speckled with dramatic points across the past, present, and future, where heroes - or villains - arise. While each setting supplement will explore part of the Trinity Continuum timeline, these points in time aren't dots in a straight line - this isn't a long-form metaplot to be simply read aloud. Instead, they're points of quantum probabilities. Anything can happen, so it's up to you and your cast to make it happen!

Check it out, if you feel so inclined! <kickstarter link> We've already achieved 21 Stretch Goals, and are looking to hopefully hit a bunch more, so lots of content offered as rewards! (But, again, act quick if you're interested...) You will definitely see a lot of familiar elements that you helped refine from our Kickstarter campaign, including a first edition bundle built by stretch goals (now with 16 PDFs for $15!), and PDF versions of the reference screen files.

And special thanks to everyone who's already jumped over and backed that project - we built such an awesome community with the Changeling campaign and it's been nice to see familiar faces (or, avatars, I guess?) show up on that project!

Now, through the Hedge...

February 2018 update
over 6 years ago – Thu, Feb 01, 2018 at 05:44:27 PM

Hello fellow Changelings!  

Welcome to February! Just wanted to send a super-quick update to touch base and make sure that communication is constant and consistent.  

Quick update:  

No major status changes, all systems go, projects being worked on.  

Longer update: 

Surveys were sent and responses are still pouring in. If you need to have your survey re-sent, information is at the bottom section of this update.

The project is full steam ahead. My current goal is to get a reward or two (the PDF bundles!) delivered before I send out my next regular update for March. So, fingers crossed we get more surveys back (confirming everyone's reward details and Add Ons), and that the work needed to build and distribute those rewards gets done this month.  

The March 1 update may come a day late (or a day early!), as I'm currently working on Onyx Path's current kickstarter project, the Trinity Continuum RPG & Aeon setting, which concludes on March 1st at noon EST.  

The Trinity Continuum is a vast timeline of adventure, speckled with dramatic points across the past, present, and future, where heroes - or villains - arise. While each setting supplement will explore part of the Trinity Continuum timeline, these points in time aren't dots in a straight line - this isn't a long-form metaplot to be simply read aloud. Instead, they're points of quantum probabilities. Anything can happen, so it's up to you and your cast to make it happen! Check it out, if you feel so inclined!  

You can definitely see the seeds of the new kickstarter, in terms of methods and presentation, in what we built during the Changeling: The Lost campaign. We've got a bundle of 1st-edition PDFs that are building via stretch goals, as we did with our Arcadian Memories bundle. We've also included PDF versions of the Reference Screens as Add Ons right off the start, and we've included a PDF + POD reward tier as well.

So, a big thank you to everyone who participated in the Changeling: The Lost kickstarter campaign, posted in the comments, made suggestions and requests, and offered feedback through surveys. I'm absolutely listening and learning and hoping to continue building awesome campaigns for some time to come.   

Now, through the Hedge...

BackerKit surveys are coming!

Hello Changelings!

Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.

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

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account.

Thanks again everyone! Keep your eyes open for the next few days as the surveys go out.

2018 Update - Happy New Year
over 6 years ago – Wed, Jan 03, 2018 at 08:58:42 PM

Happy New Year, Changeling backers!

Just touching base as we begin 2018 to let you know where we are on this project.

The Onyx Path team are slowly working their way back online after a well-deserved holiday vacation (which, I understand, still saw lots of work being done on various projects). The payment processing for the Changeling: The Lost kickstarter project has been completed.

That means, in the next week or so, we'll be able to link the data up with BackerKit and I can begin building the fulfillment back-end.

So, mid-January, I expect to have that completed for BackerKit's team of experts to review. When approved, I will send an update with instructions and begin to send surveys out to backers. The surveys are sent in a staged release to ensure that there are no errors and double-check that everything makes sense.

With the BackerKit survey, you'll be able to confirm your pledge tier and rewards, as well as assign any add-on selections that you made. You'll also be able to upgrade your pledge or choose additional add-ons if you wish.

We'll ask your address (if we're shipping stuff to you), but don't worry - we will remind you and allow you to update before we actually begin shipping rewards (which will be in quite some time).

So: Nothing yet to do, but know that we're on it and waiting for the systems to begin powering up now that we've crossed into 2018. I will send out an update whenever you need to follow-up or pay attention to something, otherwise assume that everything is humming along nicely in the background!

Fun stuff: looked at a lot of End-of-2017 lists.

Luke Crane, the Head of Games for Kickstarter, said that 2017 saw $163 Million raised to successfully fund 2997 game projects on kickstarter last year. There were 726,000 backers who made this possible.

To dial down, ENWorld posted about specifically English-language tabletop RPG kickstarters from last year, showing that our very own Changeling: The Lost 2nd Edition (THIS ONE, RIGHT HERE!) was Top 10 in terms of funds raised and number of backers. That's amazing!

Coming up, if you want to high-five the Onyx Path team for their 2017 success, or see what awesome things they have in store for 2018, most of them will be at the Midwinter Gaming Convention running January 11-14 in Milwaukee. Drop on by if you're there!

Talk to you soon!

- James

Fantastic Finish.
over 6 years ago – Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 12:07:13 AM

Fantastic in every way! That describes this Kickstarter perfectly. Thanks so much to everybody who pledged, commented, and told their friends about this project. Huge thanks to James, as well, for his unstinting effort in answering so many questions and emceeing this wild ride!  

We're really looking forward to creating this amazingly strong roll-out of follow-up projects, and to finishing the book itself and getting it to you folks and into stores. We could not have done that without all of your support, so thanks again, and see you through the Hedge!
