I am an OWoD palyer, especially OWoD Changeling. Now I see some similarities:

-Both have dual counterparts. Seelie and Unseelie in Changeling; Resonance and Disonance Mancers
-Boths couterparts hate eachother...
-Both are hiding. Changeling are hunted by Humans and Mages. Mancers by Corpos and rasists...
-Both have powers that can not be fully understand. Changelings Cantrips are far more potent than Magic,... but it is based on Dreamin. And Mancers resonance? Why in the hell he can use a device that have no wifi capabilites?
-Both rely on external source: Glamour and Resonance
-Both have theier secret places. Resonance realms, and Denizes of Dreaming [Arcadia eventually]
-Both percive the world diferently than mundane population. Mancers see AR and VR far more 'immersive' than normal matrix users, and thay can see resonance beeings ;) . While Changeling see world filled up with metafors of mundane objects with chimerical counterparts made of glamour. IE this pencil is not just a pencil it is The Dragon Slayer The Legendary Sword Of Sir Drako The Impaler[/b]
-Both rely on mental 'part' of them. For Mancers it is their living persona... and for changeling their Fae Mien.

How about an Shadowrun/Changeling Crossover in PBF? Highly immersive one, focused on Resonance game style.

This would be interesting...  I don't know how you'd want to rectify the vast differences in backstory.  Perhaps make the origins of technomancers similar enough that they could effectively be called fae?

That is briliant! Hmmm...
First I thought about a single story, in 'by the book' [there is nothing by the book in] Changeling story. With few adjustments. Like aging [Youngling, Wilder, Grump]. But this one gives me yet another idea.

How about simply adding the changeling in SR setting. As Fey changelings. Think about it. In OWoD, they are really sneaky bastards. Mages that are specialized for 'assensing' have problems to distinguish them from mundane people, or mages... this is really tricky.

So I would assume that changeling do all the same they did in OWoD. Hide, and make people belive. As people who dream generate Glamour [it is simplified version]. The funny part is, there is magic all around us, so, are we not belivers?

Just like some angel said in Constantine the movie.
"You don't belive. You know it"

As this is completly different kind of magic, very potent for ilusion and mind controll [that is what corporates think], they are hunted down by specialized mages. So they hide, just like mancers do.

So I would take the story to extreame, where real coincidence are common. Think about a pack of:

Surge Changeling Mancer
Surge Changeling Fae Changeling
Metahuman Mancer
Metahuman Fae Changeling
Fae Changeling Mancer*

*Yeah,... that would breake some rules... world concepts... that would be the context. The real one that would spin the story...
