Hey everyone,
I know its been quite some time since I've been on here. My aplogies for that, but I've been kinda busy. It is sad news that brings be here today... as all of you already know I will no longer be a part of White Wolf in the future. I do not think that I will be looking for other work in the gaming industry... I've had a blast for the past five years but its time to move on. I will be continuing to work on my own projects, such as my LARP (Shattered Isles) and other projects.

Many of you have asked what is to become of Changeling? Well, officially Changleing will no longer be published by White Wolf, however, an independant project headed by Mike Tinney will allow us to continue to publish several books a year. I will be continuting to develop the books on a freelance basis. I will also be happy to continue to support the game in any way I can. When I have a new email address set up I will make sure to post it here and elsewhere.

I would like to thank all of you who have made all the work worth while. Changleing has always been a labor of love for me and the support from its fans has been tremendous! If it wasn't for you guys I'm sure I would have quit this long ago. I look forward to continuing to be involved with Changeling and I hope to keep it going for as long as possible.

Finally, to those of you who feel that Changleing doesn't belong in the WoD, I'm sorry that you don't get it... maybe someday you will, though by then it will probabaly be too late.

Take care all of you and keep the Dream alive!

Ian Lemke
