Changeling: The Dreaming
From Christopher Howard on the WW forums:
Hello again,

I am afraid this is going to be one of those good news / bad news letters, so I might as well start with the bad first.

Shortly after my last posting, I received a call from White Wolf and they are somewhat apprehensive about an independent release of one of their properties on a third-party website. Their feeling, and I understand why, is that even though the book was never formally contracted, the publication of a professionally requested and nearly finished manuscript using their copyrighted material, is not a precedent they are eager to have set. This means that I will be withdrawing my offer to put KttK and BoG out there as a free download.


KttK is Keys to the Kingdom, a never-released adventure book for 2001's Year of the Scarab. BoG is the Book of Glamour, a book on updating the magic systems for Changeling. It's the closest we'll see to "Changeling Revised."

Read more for the rest of the post.
To those who so kindly offered to host KttK on their websites, I sincerely apologize for the confusion. This is not White Wolf's fault. I probably should have checked out the lay of the land a bit better before making the offer.

On the plus side, they have agreed to release both books on their DriveThruRPG site. I have negotiated that Keys to the Kingdom will be a free download and I hope to see it up there as soon as I've had the chance to polish it a little more. This will be a matter of a few weeks at most.

I still fully plan to proceed on Book of Glamour as well, and I hope to make it a professional release worthy of its fans. There will most likely be a charge for this book. (Which means I will finally get paid!) I will continue to update people as I proceed on this project and may be looking to this forum for some feedback. When I first began writing BoG, I approached the forum for its opinions, ideas and complaints about the Arts/Realms system. I received over 100 pages of information, much of which was quite astute and very useful. The book is mostly written now, but there are still some questions I would like to put before you.

PookaKnight: If you are still interested in doing some layout work, I would very much like to speak with you.

That wraps it up for this missive. Again, I apologize for any confusion or disappointment my miscalculations may have caused.

Sincerely,

Christopher Howard


There you have it, ladies and gents. I was one of the sites in question that were hoping to host these manuscripts, so I'm slightly disappointed. But I think I approve of this solution better.
