History
Changeling was met with mixed response from the gaming community. While Changeling developed quite a devoted cult following, its themes and subject were often perceived as unnecessarily complex or too childish, and it was generally thought that the game was indecisively written (i.e., is it a hopeful game about returning magic and imagination to a dull, banal world, or is it a depressed game of accepting the decay of all that is imaginative and colorful) and White Wolf discontinued the game more than a year before the end of the World of Darkness line due to exceedingly low sales.
Time of Judgment, published in early 2004, included a chapter on the end of the world from a Changeling perspective, and was the last official published material for the game.
Dark Ages: Fae is a World of Darkness: Dark Ages game with strong links to Changeling.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
