Dream Creatures

Being an avid Changeling: the Dreaming fan, this just shouts "Chimera!"

Speaking of which, we got bored last night. We were playing Changeling and they ended up solving my murder mystery faster than expected and I was out of ideas, so their characters (in game, of course) pulled out Big Eyes, Small Mouth characters and my NPC ran an adventure for them. It got kinda stale (that happens when the players insist on playing in Wicked City instead of my own homebrew world), so those character pulled out their D&D characters, and my NPC's NPC ran a game for them. It was quite fun. 'Course, their original changeling characters got buku banality from all the rule tie downs from playing D&D.
