Transcripts available at diceexploder.comIn the unreliable urban fantasy world of Changeling, Clarity is a mechanic that measures... well, for now let’s go with a character's ability to trust their own reality. But finishing that sentence is kind of what this episode is all about, because Clarity has deep ties to various sanity mechanics from any number of Call of Cthulhu inspired games, even as it’s trying to do something different, maybe a little more nuanced and less obviously offensive as measuring a person’s sanity with a flat number.There’s any number of metaphors you might find meaning in with Clarity. It’s not clear to me that that makes it much better than sanity. And yet, today's cohost MintRabbit loves this game and this mechanic dearly, sees so much of herself in it. And seeing yourself in a flawed game, still finding beauty in it, that's what makes today's episode interesting.Ad Links<a href="https://bardlight.itch.io/spectacula" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Spectacula</a> by Jeremy Melloul<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sdunnewold/kiss-me-if-you-can" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Kiss Me If You Can</a> by me, Sam DunnewoldFurther Reading<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/50010/changeling-the-lost" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Changeling the Lost 1e</a> by White Wolf Games<a href="https://theresattrpgforthat.tumblr.com/post/767221375881658368/mint-plays-games-changelings-trauma-gaming" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Changelings, Trauma & Gaming</a> by Mint Rabbit<a href="https://theresattrpgforthat.tumblr.com/post/776145719748886528/the-bulk-of-what-i-appreciate-about-changeling-the" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">A second post</a> from Mint about Changeling<a href="https://www.diceexploder.com/blog/2025/4/22/safety-tools-and-players-are-more-important-than-the-game-with-sarah-lynne-bowman?rq=bowman" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Dice Exploder on safety tools</a>SocialsMint on <a href="https://theresattrpgforthat.tumblr.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Tumblr</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mint-rabbit.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Bluesky</a>, <a href="https://mint-rabbit.itch.io/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">itch</a>, <a href="https://dice.camp/@mintrabbit" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">dice.camp</a>, and <a href="https://ko-fi.com/mintrabbit83675" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">ko-fi</a>Sam on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/diceexploder.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Bluesky</a> and <a href="https://sdunnewold.itch.io/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">itch</a>The Dice Exploder blog is at <a href="http://www.diceexploder.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">diceexploder.com</a>Our logo was designed by <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/sporgory.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">sporgory</a>, our ad music is Lilypads by Travis Tessmer, and our theme song is <a href="https://soundcloud.com/purelygrey/sunset-bridge" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Sunset Bridge</a> by Purely Grey.Join the <a href="https://discord.gg/PhJStRPQDa" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Dice Exploder Discord</a> to talk about the show!Support Dice Exploder on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/DiceExploder" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Patreon</a>!
