I see that only the Standard Color Hardcover Book is currently available i. Does this mean the Premium Color Hardback Books are out of print or is this merely a temporary absence i. What is the difference between the premium hardcover and the standard hardcover?

Is this book meant to be used with the God Machine Chronicles rules update? I have been waiting for that edition of Changeling for a while and i want to be sure BEFORE I spend how ever much money on it that I am not going to accidentally buy the wrong book.

This is a stand-alone core rulebook. No other books are needed to run CtL 2e. Do you need the Chronicles of Darkness book to run it or is it all together in 2e?

Having said all that, I did mention rule hacks because there's a few rule-changes here and there that I'm not entirely happy with and was planning on swapping back in the 1st Edition rules or homebrewing an amalgam of the two in those instances. Luckily I'm not trying to balance that out against the other game lines, so I have a bit of leeway on that.

But that last one doesn't completely contradict the earlier Contracts. The God-Machine Chronicle. Werewolf The Forsaken - Second Edition.
