Absolutely love the new paths and such, especially the Changeling
Sometimes you just want to be The Bad Guy. Also some neato options for the base game (the Changeling seems like it'll see a fair amount of use).
Between the new perks and paths and the information on creating Darklings, I can't tell whether this supplement is more useful for players or talespinners. It offers so much by providing helpful material to run one of the game's primary antagonists, while throwing in some neat extra choices in for players.
I think this is probably my favorite of the Gloaming Diaries supplements. The new Paths are super fun and the additional lore is so exciting. The Nightmare magic chapter is also pretty cool, the thought that went into it is fantastic.
I love the additional lore that Vespers brings to The Gloaming Diaries. Fleshing out the concept of the Wood really adds richness to the game and helps expand ideas for how fae/darklings/gloamspun view the world. I also love the new paths and the ability to make fully fleshed out darkling characters (and villains) now!
