Changeling the Dreaming... really? So this flashback takes place in the 90s?
Hey, I was playing Changeling in the late 2000s... (But top marks for spotting the cover design.)
I bought a copy of the first printing when it initially came out. However, I just wanted it for the setting material as the idea of playing a six year old in the OWoD really creeped me out. For real accuracy half the pages should be spilling out of the hardcover because WW's glue and bindings were and still are so pathetically cheap and shoddy.
