[UA] (OT) More Modern Elves

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

I like a lot of  the ideas for Changeling, but the
system makes me cringe, especially the way it handles
magic.  I tried it out with one of my old groups and
the general response was:  there aren't enough
different types of fay, how come you can't play
dragons or griffons and for a game about breaking all
the rules, you sure have to use a lot of rules to do
it.

I'd like to try running a Changeling game using
variations on the UA rules.  I remember reading some
guy's suggestion that the different "kith" (faerie
races) be treated as Avatars, which sounded like a
neat idea.  I suppose I could translate the Arts into
magic schools, but I think I'd rather just use the UA
magic schools and be damned to the rest of it.

I'd also probably use ideas from Neverwhere, Fisher
King and Suppressed Transmission (Hite's article from
the Summer of 1998, it's in the first collected
edition but I don't remember the name.)

I'd definitely include the faerie link with the dead
and the ideas of greys (ghosts that seem to have a
body, a lot like Chineese ghosts from Feng Shui, now
that I think about it.)  I also like the idea of a
scene where the characters are pursued through the
woods by a bunch of freaky Grey E.T.s as a parrallel
to the Wild Hunt.

Screw it.  I'm just going to have to re-do the whole
thing, anyway, so I'll call it FUDGE: Hollow Hills and
leave it at that.  I'll use UA mechanics, though.
