Val world was shaken when she learned her father, now a vampire himself, was being held in the prince's custody. Everett was confronted by his own parents, who had thought he was dead, and he promised to visit later to explain. But before turning to personal matters, Michael Arden, at the prince's request, sent several Tremere to apply for the vacant officer role in the department. Who will they choose among an eclectic group that somehow even includes a kindred only recently-embraced by the Pyramid 2.0.

Having followed Val's journey from childhood to New Haven, we return now to the town in the present day. The coterie has just successfully overthrown Toasta Rosa and elevated a new prince, the ghoul Matthew Theobald. Evangeline left with Theobald's permission, and Everett and Val were left to navigate the new political situation, and the fallout from the recent violence. On top of everything else, how will they handle the sudden appearance of their parents in New Haven?

Val managed to find a motel to sleep away the day in, and told Will what she could about the danger of sunlight before passing out. Will woke up early and, unable to wake Val, he ate too much candy, made himself sick, and flooded the bathroom trying to clean up his mess. Val awoke to a flooded room and a very angry motel owner, who accepted Val's bribe but called the police anyway. Can Val outrun a police force that now believes she has kidnapped Will and is responsible for the Wulfpack's massacre?

Val eliminated the leader of the Wulfpack and quickly found the money and hard drive she had been sent to retrieve, but as she set about clearing the estate of all evidence of kindred presence, she heard a small voice belonging to a five-year-old boy named Will. With both of his parents deceased, Val decided she could not leave him to a fate of mind-wiping or worse, so they packed up some toys, set the house on fire, and drove away. What can Val possibly do next, now that she has a child in tow?

Incredibly, Juniper Lux was very pleased with the performance Val had arranged, and Val was awarded the mission to hunt down the Wulf Pack. She made her way down the west coast to Bayfield, California, her targets' last known location, and her investigation put her on the trail of two missing tour buses. When she arrived at the Hall Family Winery, she found the Gangrel and began to stalk them one by one. Can she find a way to eliminate a powerful Gangrel leader on his home turf?

By the year 2000, five years had passed for Val with Brooke by her side. A Gangrel group has gone rogue, and Sheriff Cross summoned Val to the Blue Rose Hotel amidst an Elysium soirée, to convince two judges to award her the assignment of hunting them down. She easily swayed the first judge, but the second, Juniper Lux, demanded that Val first find a uniquely talented mortal willing to become a Toreador. Can Val arrange a performance with enough wow factor before the judges announce their decision?

Five years have passed since Val was welcomed into the Camarilla, and she has learned much from Sheriff Cross, not only becoming familiar with the politics of the Camarilla, but honing her many criminal skills. In her most recent assignment, Val was introduced to Brooke, a mortal human, and worked with her on a crucial bank heist for the princess. After the success of the heist, in the heat of the moment and the adrenaline, Val and Brooke kissed. Could this be the beginning of something new for Val?

Val awoke in the hospital, recovering from the ordeal with her former coterie. Sheriff Cross explained that Val would have to seek the approval of Princess Cleopatra and she must pretend that she had only recently been embraced, but Val was also warned by another kindred to not lie to the Princess. An uncomfortable meeting ensued, and Val simply stated how she could use her skills to serve the Camarilla. Only after Cross vouched for Val and accepted a punishment of his own, was Val allowed to live.

With their plan to kill the Anarchs in tatters, Val could not break free of Amy's control, even as her former coterie stabbed Cross with silver daggers. Fortuitously, Cross had planned for the worst, and officers Marcus Safe and Elizabeth Maddox barged in with silver bullets and brought Amy down. Val and Vincent's beasts faced off in a brutal brawl, but once again Cross came to the rescue. Before Val succumbed to her injuries, Cross fed her his own blood. But will Val survive the Camarilla's justice? Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic).

With three nights to find Cross before Amy and Vincent do, Val drove to Calgary and booked a room at the Blue Rose Hotel, unaware of its significance. She awoke to find herself confined, was interrogated by Cross, and learned that Amy and Vincent were the two most dangerous Anarchs in Canada. To avoid Camarilla justice, Val would have to kill them and deny any involvement with them, so she and Cross set out to face them. But how can Val be the backup when she can't even willingly pull the trigger on Amy?

As Val settled in with her coterie, she honed her vampiric abilities, but tensions continued to rise as she grew to dislike her companions' methods. Nearly five years since her embrace, Amy and Vincent questioned Val about her sire, and though she resisted sharing his identity, Val eventually unintentionally revealed him to be Sheriff Cross. Val tried to dissuade them from confronting him, but they left anyway, promising to kill Cross on Val's behalf. Can Val save her sire before her unsavoury companions track him down?

Val was welcomed into her first coterie. Neither Camarilla nor Sabbat, Vincent and Amy showed Val a world with no rules, and the freedom to hurt humans with no regard to morals or consequences. As Val learned important skills, like using the blood within her to produce the blush of life or surging past normal physical limitations, her humanity consequently receded. How much longer will Val remain with this sadistic coterie, and what will become of her humanity along the way?

With an RCMP officer approaching her vehicle, Val had no interest in being caught and sped away. She drove into the woods and took off on foot into the Manitoba wilderness as Officer Safe called for backup and pursued her. Val fled to a nearby farmhouse, where she was ambushed by two more officers. Desperate, she killed them both and attempted to leave in their car, but was blocked by two vampires who invited her to come with them instead. How will Val fit in with her kindred saviours?

Within a few hours of becoming a vampire, Val felt the beast inside her surge forth for the first time and she easily dispatched the criminals at the gas station. She set fire to the building, took off, and spent the next year travelling across Canada, killing almost anyone when she needed to feed. She had evaded capture so far, but her luck may have run out, as she was pulled over on a rural road in Manitoba by the RCMP. Will she talk or fight her way out of an imminent arrest?

Val Miller awoke to her new unlife, having been saved from death, but also turned into a monster by one of the few people she trusted, Rufus Cross. They set fire to the arena and the bodies of their friends, and Cross quickly explained current kindred politics. Val grappled with the crumbling foundations of her life and rejected Cross's offer to stay, deciding instead to take the next five years to find out for herself what it really means to be a vampire. Within hours, she was fighting for her life once again. Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic).

Val refused Damon's offer to become a vampire and instead challenged him to single combat while Robin called boss Cross. Jack bled out, Robin tried to buy them time but was killed by a wayward knife, John too was stabbed, and Val was set upon by the other vampires. Before she lost consciousness, her attackers were gunned down in an instant and Val looked up into the face of her saviour, Rufus Cross, before he apologized and sank his fangs into her.

In her first match of the Brawl, Val tried in vain to end it without killing her opponent, but ultimately she took a life for the first time. As she was escorted back to her cage, her combat training kicked in, she wrestled a gun from a guard, and began methodically shooting down the enemies around her. John finally broke out of his cage with Val's help, but before he could free the others, the fight announcer seized Jack and cut off his arm. Only then did they see his monstrous features and two large fangs. How can they possibly escape this demon?

Val and her friends arrived at the brawl and were led to an arena in the woods, but something felt very wrong when they were locked in cages until their fights were called, and as they watched the first fight, they immediately realized that the Brawl For It All was a fight to the death. Robin bargained with the organizer to fight Jack's fights as a well as his own, and Val was called to face her first opponent. Not wanting to take a life, she tried to fake it, but the announcer called her out and declared she had no choice but to finish it.

With Rufus Cross away for the next year, Val and her friends managed without him until the gym's safe was robbed and their entire safety net was erased. With no record of any insurance, and law enforcement unable to offer any real assistance, they had to replenish their money and quickly. Jack reminded them about the brawl that Cross had forbidden them from even mentioning, and when they discovered there was a $100,000 prize to be won, they ultimately decided it was their best chance at saving the gym.

Continuing our exploration of Val's past, under Rufus Cross's guidance, she got into wrestling as a heel called “The Demon” and found she enjoyed fighting without her life on the line. She grew closer to her gym friends as Robin trained for stuntwork and John got bigger without taking steroids, and life became more stable until Cross informed them that his government job would take him away from them for the next year.

Over the next two years, Valerie learned how to box and, although she lost all of her fights, she steadily improved. She also began to connect with her training partners, Robin, John, and Jack, but when she grew afraid that it was all getting too good to be true, Cross had a heart-to-heart with her. He encouraged her to commit to her friendships and Valerie received some assurance that if she wasn't looking for demons, she'd be alright.

Five years after leaving her father in a trap, Valerie Miller made her way north and eventually landed in Calgary, desperately hungry and alone in a brutally cold winter. Rufus Cross found her fighting on the street, gave her a meal, and invited her to his gym to box. Valerie nearly didn't survive the journey there, but she was rescued by two gym rats, and when she saw a pendant of St. Raphael around Cross's neck, she decided to join them.

Valerie Miller survived her first night of being hunted by her father. She fled into town and begged for sanctuary at her grandparents' house, only to be rejected and driven back. But that night was just the first of the new normal, and with no one to rely on, Valerie realized she would have to dedicate her time to learning more about the world outside her home and she prepared for her escape. Eventually she lured her father into a trap and set out on her own.

As Valerie Miller approached her teenage years, the theoretical dangers became terrifyingly real. After a pivotal argument with her grandparents, her father returned from a mission with the mutilated bodies of Rick and Maria, revealing that they hadn't been fast or strong enough. Valerie's training became even more rigorous, until her 13th birthday, when Tom told her that in order to prepare her for the real threats, he would now hunt her at night.

Young Valerie Miller continued learning to fight and survive under the tutelage of her father and his friends, adding in firearm training with Maria. At 10 years old, she began to comprehend the dangers in the world as the adults shared some of their more somber memories and her father reinforced the grave importance of teaching her to defend herself.

After the parade arrived at the Val Miller Family Protection Building, the coterie and the prince's team entered the prepared interview room, which already hosted three Tzimisce bodyguards. The prince began his public address, and as a bodyguard passed the false shaft to Toastarosa, Everett gave the code word. In the ensuing chaos, Evangeline dove to retrieve her gun, and Val tore a zulo in half and hurled it, taking out another Tzimisce. But the coterie face down a magazine of silver bullets trained on them?

The coterie emerged from the shock of an explosion of confetti to join the start of the parade. They took to their individual floats, Val forced to sit atop a poor facsimile of Cherry, Evangeline seated in the saddle of a large Dalmatian, and Everett dressed in a ridiculous outfit poised to sing. The sheriff sang his selection of songs to a mixed reception from the crowd, but will the enthusiasm of his Chappell Roan duet with Toasta Rosa be enough to quell any lingering suspicions from the prince?

The coterie used what little time they had left to put the final pieces in place for the prince's arrival. Everett called the prince, convinced him that Doris had turned into a wight and was subsequently put down, and chose which songs he would sing from his float, Val received a slightly ominous message from the sheriff saying they would discuss how to deal with the beast later, and Evangeline sent Percy out of harm's way. But will any of them survive the explosion to see their plan enacted?

The coterie found themselves facing the logistical challenges of deposing a prince. Matthew Theobald took over relocating the families of the daytime officers, Val took Evangeline's suggestion of using the hospital holding cells to protect Will, and Everett and Evangeline accepted the expertise of Veron Ferron to arrange safe spaces from the silver nitrate. Nosferatu tech expert, Unity Castille, arrived on the scene, but even with many capable minds working together, will they pull off their grand deception?

Sooner or later, the most sinister of the Unseelie were bound to rear their greasy and/or misshapen heads, no? While Banality is an ever-present threat that changelings must struggle against, and nobles-versus-commoners is an important piece of the metaplot, it's important to remember that the balance of light and darkness is another critical conflict for the Kithain. The Shadow Court is the first supplement in the canon to really go in-depth into the Unseelie ethos, the structure and motivations of their court, and what it means to be a baddie (or a beastie, or a bogie). This week, we're taking a deep look at that tome, which is one of the densest with material in the entire line. Bear with us for the wild ride... the nature of evil This is a Big Topic that will probably get its own episode at some point, but a few things need to be said about the relationship of the Unseelie, and the Shadow Court, to eeeeviiilll. The WoD games overall trade in shades of grey, making it difficult to say that the Seelie are overtly "good" and the Unseelie overtly "bad". One could claim that the traits, actions, and outlooks that do fall into the "good" camp tend to crop up more regularly, in sum, among the Seelie, and vice versa among the Unseelie. But there are Seelie who are bloodthirsty, haughty, tyrannical, inflexible, and manipulative, following codes for their own sake and believing that they are Right about everything. And there are Unseelie who are empathetic, joyful, egalitarian, and honest. To draw a parallel with Dungeons and Dragons (yeah, yeah), the better analogy for the Courts might be "Lawful" (with a tendency towards good) for Seelie vs. "Chaotic" (with more wiggle room for evil) for the Unseelie, and where an individual falls within them is on the Good–Evil spectrum is their own thing. The Shadow Court, as a book, just kind of stirs the already-murky waters. There are Unseelie in the book who, despite their contempt for the Seelie, seem to simply be passionate freedom-lovers with the occasional bad temper. But then there are amoral jerks who engage in human sacrifice and make a career out of emotionally abusing Dreamers to get their Glamour fix. Introducing the Thallain as kiths who can never become Seelie and operate as the right hand of nightmare doesn't exactly help the reputation of the "dark side." Importantly, the Shadow Court is not the Unseelie Court; just as importantly, the former is often pulling the latter's strings. Even among the Shadow Court, though, true evil is not a given, especially because the book seems to highlight the fluidity of Court identity: changelings come and go from its ranks, rising and falling in prestige. (That being said, many Shadow Courtiers certainly seem willing to hang out with some truly twisted types...) Ultimately, the game is more interesting when the nature of good and evil isn't predetermined, and the movement between the two becomes the focus of a story, with the Court conflict as a metaphor. Why shouldn't a Thallain have a redemption arc? Why shouldn't the most prim and proper Seelie countess have a long slide into decadence? Changelings rebel against stagnation and stasis, so shifting attitudes, identities, and allegiances are perhaps more in line with this game than the others. As we mention in this episode, Changeling has a reputation for being "not dark enough" (for whom? what does that even mean?), but as this book demonstrates, there is a whole buffet of options that range from the purest of the pure to the dankest of the dank. A word of caution, though—the book's wishy-washiness extends to its use of gaming tools to protect the sensibilities of gamers when needed. It doesn't really offer a stance on how to use or not use violence, sexuality, depravity, etc., so remember: talk. to. your. players. and find out everyone's mileage for different dishes at that buffet. ... responding to hot takes We solicit comments for recordings on our Discord (and here's the link! woooo), but for this episode, we totally forgot to respond to two hot takes from one of our listeners. So, here's some brief responses: Hot Take 1: "The Thallain were never meant to interact with the Kithain. They aren't another splat, they're the main characters from a fundamentally darker game." From an in-game point of view, this certainly seems true. The Thallain came into the Autumn World at the behest of the Fomorians (or so the story goes), their goals and wishes are quite different from Kithain's, and in some cases (see: beasties), Kithain actively try to attack them. But what they were meant to be like doesn't negate the possibility of figuring out stories that accommodate both Thallain and Kithain as protagonists. You need a particularly agreeable one or more of the former, and a particularly tolerant one or more of the latter, but somewhere between the feverish kaleidoscope of Changeling: the Dreaming and the blood-soaked pandemonium of... erm, Thallain: the Horrifying?, there is potential for some interesting plotlines. Thallain who incarnate in human flesh have the same tension between their human origins and their fae natures as other kinds of changeling, and putting the two groups together towards a common goal (e.g., a common enemy that neither can stop alone) is the Extreme level of "seeing past our differences" for the sake of teamwork. Hot Take 2: "House Ailil is the only good house in the entire gameline. Ennobled Boggans of House Ailil will utterly wreck your political machinations." Debatable, and dependent on the kind of game you want to run. For direct political intrigue, Ailil are indeed hard to beat (though depending on the type of intrigue, Leanhaun can give them a run for their money). Having a boggan, or pooka, or other kith with a social benefit in the House can certainly increase the benefit, and it can be great fun to watch an Ailil go toe-to-toe with a Ventrue. But as soon as you get out of the throne room, Elysium, or wherever, how useful are they for slaying a dragon, working great magic, or simply keeping the community happy? All else being equal, Ailil nobles are good at ruling by fear and blackmail, running criminal enterprises (or running their realms as though they were criminal enterprises), and getting themselves ahead. Your mileage may vary on whether you consider that the best, the most well-rounded, the most interesting, etc. ... shout-out to harbingers of winter We mentioned this book a couple times this episode, and here we are mentioning it again...! Charlie Cantrell and Radio Free Arcadia put out Harbingers of Winter back in the spring, updating much of the content of this book (and then some) for C20. You can purchase it from the Storyteller's Vault, and you can listen to our episode #12, wherein we discuss the book with Charlie. It's definitely recommended reading for anyone looking to run a Shadow Court (or otherwise deeply Unseelie-flavored) game, so check out and help support other folks in the community. ... your hosts Josh Hillerup (any pronoun) thinks that Unseelie tastes like chocolate raspberry ice cream laced with codeine and bits of stained glass. Pooka G (any pronoun/they) thinks that Seelie tastes like a raw egg yolk suspended inside a solid shell of candied violet petals. ... The Neighbor: "A little boy went out to play. When he opened his door, he saw the world. As he passed through the doorway, he caused a reflection. Evil was born. Evil was born, and followed the boy." Nikki: "...I'm sorry, what is that?" The Neighbor: "An old tale... And, the variation: a little girl went out to play. Lost in the marketplace, as if half-born. Then, not through the marketplace—you see that, don't you?—but through the alley behind the marketplace. This is the way to the palace." —Grace Zabriskie & Laura Dern in David Lynch's Inland Empire (psst! email us at podcast@changelingthepodcast.com if you want) (and join our Discord at https://discord.gg/SAryjXGm5j !)
