Background Information
White Wolf felt that announcing Changeling in the back of Promethean focused fan interest too much on the next game instead of the current release, so Changeling: The Lost did not include a traditional ad for the next year's game. Instead, a large word search puzzle featured on the final page with the heading "Light in Shadows", and "COMING NEXT YEAR" printed beneath. Finding all of the World of Darkness words and phrases in the puzzle leaves letters which spell out "the hunters arrive two thousand eight". Fan speculation was that the sixth World of Darkness game would be a reinterpretation of Hunter: The Reckoning; they were proven correct when Hunter: The Vigil was later announced.
