Yeah, the Changeling I played was very much Not Your Grandma's Changeling. I got into it through the LARP, and have to remind myself that our STs were operating on a very idiosyncratic vision of the game; for example, the notion that every Kithain soul is an expression of a specific dream (a nocker as "the destructive power of the tools of man" or a sidhe as "the fertile Other Woman who lures a man away from his barren wife") is . . . not actually in the books, so far as I'm aware. But I like that version, which allows you to scale Changeling up to very mythic levels; in fact, at one point Kyle and I worked out a cosmology that made Changeling the real foundation of the World of Darkness, of which everything else was just a Prodigal expression.
I'm curious which two or three or possibly even four games you see in it. I'd never thought of it in that light (beyond noticing that Banality is two or three or possibly even four different things, not all of which make sense together), but I think it's very apt.
