Sylvan's Cradle story critique - not fey

I originally picked up Nightingale for it's supposed Unique Selling Propositions

  • randomized realms

  • "fey" theme

In RR 0.5, the randomized realms have been deprecated to obsolescence and so far the only vaguely fey aspect of the game is Puck.


Sylvan's Cradle tries to have a fey story but fails:

  • the contract terms are not clear, especially not to Aurelio who didn't even have any idea what was going on, and maybe not to Azazel either

  • the contract must be voluntarily entered; Aurelio was compelled by outside forces and this is not valid

  • no presence of fey at all in the story

  • the whole story is too vague to be understandable / intelligible

Overall this felt like a weak attempt at a fey story and if players don't even actively seek out conversations or documents, it is just another fantasy story.
