Rand Brittain posted:I forget, did Dreaming ever try to address the problem inherent in childling satyrs or did it just ignore that it had an X-splat based on being prepubescent and a Y-splat based on having lots of sex, and that these two had an uncomfortable intersection? They made Satyrs into being about more than just sex. They became about passion and obsession. A Wilder satyr might be obsessed with sex, but a Grump satyr might be obsessed with parliamentary debate, and so a Childer might be obsessed with... stickers? Or something. I don't know what kids are doing these days.

Kurieg posted:Native Exceptionalism is alive and well in Changeling. The Native Americans have their own 13 kiths, and the Asians don't have changelings, they instead have Hsien that are their own things. Native American changelings, known as the Nunnehei, are even capable of going into the Umbra, since they're so in touch with nature and spirituality.

Tasoth posted:So I take it all of the European changelings fall within the, what I assume is anglo-celtic inspired, kiths? Because if so, that's horse poo poo. Satyrs are framed within a Grecian framework, the trolls are presented as being Nordic, Eshu are based off of the European view of a romanticized Middle East, and the sluagh (I think) are Russian. On the Gaellic inspired front, you have the sidhe, the boggans, the redcaps, and the pooka. I'm not entirely sure where the nockers fall in, but it's definitely a Celt-heavy group. Edit: Oh that's right, the nockers are very, very Yiddish.
