    The document discusses several people's experiences with and perspectives on the World of Darkness roleplaying game Changeling: The Dreaming. Many found it inspiring and felt it captured a sense of wonder, whimsy, and creativity compared to other bleaker World of Darkness games. It shaped them as storytellers and authors by examining how legends are affected by the passage of time. One in particular loved how it blended childlike wonder with unseelie naughtiness and epic tales of heroism and love gone wrong.
