Changeling: The Dreaming (20th Anniversary Edition) invites players to explore a world intertwined with dreams and reality, where they play changelings, sorcerous beings trapped in human bodies, fighting to preserve magic against the mundanity of everyday life. I remember a campaign in which, while adventuring in Arcadia, my character had to face a fascinating dilemma between embracing his faerie nature or protecting his human friends from hidden threats. This dynamic between dream and reality, fantasy and responsibility, offers a rich tapestry of narrative that allows players not only to create enchanting stories, but also to reflect on the balance between magical hope and everyday challenges.
