This has been by far the best non-core product I have ever owned produced by white wolf. 'Rites of Spring' introduces ideas for over all theme and light implementation. It caters to a Story Tellers need to tailor personal stories with suggestions on optional rules, motifs, and even guidelines for presenting description of the fantasy environment that the Lost inhabit. If you own the Changeling: The Lost book and feel as though you need an addition to be comfortable running the world then this book is an excellent tool to have available. The book also includes some suggestions on merits and alternate contracts to play with as well.

I just got this book yesterday, and while I haven't had the chance to use and apply all the information in this book, I'm more than happy with it. It has tons of alternate rules for glamour, the mask, clarity, and the hedge, and descriptive text that helps visualize how to storytell each. Even imaginative storytellers would find these mechanics useful to help solidify their ideas. The new merits are absolutely essential, covering a number of aspects of changeling life, many of which are not touched on very much in the core rulebook. Some of the new contracts seemed a bit lacking, but in my opinion its still plenty worth picking up the book for the merits and mechanics. Absolutely a must have for storytellers and very useful for players as well.

This is an awesome book, containing new Seemings and Contracts, as well as other information. A necessary supplement for the game, and useful for characters of any season, not just Spring Courtiers.

Where Winter Masques is the first for must have books, Rites is the second must have book for the Changeling shelf.

Whiles Masques presented new Kiths and Seeming Contracts, Rites goes beyond that with even more options for character creation.

While several chapters are good for an ST to have such as new alternate rules with Pledges, Clarity, Iron and glamour. There's also a lot of good info and material for players with new Merits, Contracts, Goblin Fruits, expanded Hollows info, Hedgespinning, Tokens and their creation. Basically, if it has to do with the magic and lore of Changeling, it gets expanded on in this book and is well worth having.

This is Great book for Changeling the lost this Great for Story Tellers and players.

Changeling the Lost(CtL)is what's called a limited run. There are so many titles in the line and then it's done(but is it?). Anywho, ROS has a lot of new merits for the game and alot of clarification of the rules and ALOT of alternative rules for things in the Main Rulebook that needed fixing like the making of Pledges.

A must for the consumate Changeling fan. This is the glamour, powers book for the limited run Changeling rpg series (5 or 6 books I believe).
