A few pictures from Halloween

This is a mostly inactive - but still moderated - blog about roleplaying. More to the point, it is a blog about my roleplaying. The blog was created as a forum for my writing and rambling about the games I ran in my own roleplaying world: the world of Argos and the multiverse surrounding it. The majority of the posts from 2011 and earlier will be on that topic.

In the past I have briefly explored the OSR, and for a while I posted on my quest for the roots of the hobby. I've also run a few sessions using a D&D 3.X hack as well a Cyberpunk/Mage-setting and I've played in a few different games. The present game is set in the multiverse that sprang out of the Argos-games, using the GUMSHOE/Trail of Cthulhu engine.

You will, of course, be able to find other things - as well as other games - here as well; at least in my mind, most of it is somehow connected to my storytelling and world-building.

Disclaimers

# 1: Pictures on this blog does, as a rule, not belong to me. A lot of the artwork I use is found on CGSociety.org. Where it exists, watermarks and signatures are kept to identify artist or owner. I also strive to link to the artist's page, or quote the source of the image. Should I have forgotten to credit you, I beg your forgiveness. I respect and admire the talented artists who have inspired much of what is found on this site.

This post further discusses artwork on the site. If you feel I have misused your work in any way, please let me know.

# 2: Since I came of age reading roleplaying books with all sorts of ridiculous disclaimers, I'll add one of my own. No, this is not about real life! No, this is not about real magic! No, this is not about real events! Get it? If you believe this is real, get help. Fast. And don't run with scissors, as a rule.
