episode 139 — a grimm dark era

With apologies for last week's delay, we are back on track with today's readthrough of the last Changeling-focused Dark Era in the first collection, A Grimm Dark Era. The Dark Eras' not-quite-second-edition-ness stands out most of all in this offering, and it's... noteworthy. Set in early 19th-century Germany with the publication of the Grimms' faerie tales as a backdrop, we get some curious Courts, some tantalizing tokens, and a new Seeming(!) to throw into a game. Is it the kind of material with which we can live happily ever after? Opinions shall be shared, but remember that "ever after" rarely lasts as long as you think it will...

Pooka G (any pronoun/they) got a five-album deal for the Town Musicians of Bremen, but yeesh, they party hard. Amelia Fetch (she/her) wants stories about the other wards of that sorceress who raised Rapunzel, named after less interesting leafy greens.

Believable fairy-stories must be intensely practical. You must have a map, no matter how rough. Otherwise you wander all over the place. —J.R.R. Tolkien
