This book is a supplement for the "Changeling: the Dreaming" roleplaying game. It provides additional information and options for playing the nocker kith (species of fairy).

I found the information and options provided to be particularly useful, and practically essential to fill the gaps in the standard chimera-forging system. The book also had a beautiful picture by Tony Diterlizzi and a couple of ok illustrations inside as well.

However, my major complaint against this book is that it portrays the eponymous entities in a light that is about 2/3 too goofy.

"What do you expect," I hear my critics asking, "You're talking about a game involving ineffectual, gadget making fairies. It's bound to be a bit silly."

My reply would be: This game is set in the "World of Darkness". Surely there is a way to portray even fairies and tinkerers in a light that's somewhat grimmer and less ridiculous.
