Walk of life...

There's a difference. I thought the last hotel, Best Western Arken in Gothenburg, was pretty decent. The food was on the verge of awesome and the rooms were nice, albeit somewhat small. The feeling was not dissimilar to that of a cabin onboard a ship. 
Today, though, things have taken a turn for the better. The bathroom has the toilet paper folded into the small arrow! And there's a small balcony (about 12 cm in depth) that gives a certain suave air to the room. But most importantly, I could sit by the desk and experience sunlight filtering in through the trees outside. Who knew they had trees in Stockholm? 

Really a place where time itself has stood still. Can't help but love it!
It's looking to be a great summer for photography, this year. Some great sessions include a magnificent session with the horror author Michael Faun. Yes, you probably remember the creepy last session with the graveyard theme. This time, it will be pictures for the next upcoming horror anthology, so you can probably guess the theme.. 
Other projects include snapping shots for a fitnessgroup in Skåne, for them to use in marketing. Building on the experience of the lovely Army Fitness and taking those kinds of pictures to new heights. A very interesting challenge! 
Then, another fantastically fun project will be to shoot some live sessions. Of course, there is the traditional medieval week on Gotland in late summer. Before that, though, there is a live combined with softairgun that will take place in Skåne. The theme will be Afghanistan, or rather with my phototheme, Agfa-nistan ;)
And finally, I am looking forward to meeting new friends in BG Fantasia. More on THAT topic later on. 

Anyways, time to get ready for tonight's dinner. I have some lobbying for the future to perform as well but that is, as they say, another story. Who are "they" anyway? 
Here's a charming little church with belltower in a small community along Göta Kanal, to the south of Norrköping and aptly named for it. Churches are always fascinating to depict!

Enchance your roleplaying

Always remember that someone is watching.  Enhancing your roleplaying Some challenges for the avid GM Improvisational-style challenges are fantastic for fostering creativity and quick thinking, as well as providing a new depth to connection between the player and the character.  Encourage spontaneity. Force players to react to unexpected situations without overthinking. This can help stay in character and make authentic decisions on the fly, without optimising their thoughts.   Foster collaboration. Players should build on each other's actions and cues and ideas, creating a shared narrative that is richer and more dynamic.  Character depth. By focusing on emotions, physical actions or hidden motivations, the player can help himself get a stronger sense of who the character is, beyond the stats on the sheet.   Problem-solving under pressure. High-stake situations requiring the players to solve problems creatively without relying to pre-planned strategie...

Mål och Moralkompasser

Mål och moralkompasser Hur använder man materialet?  För moralkompassen, ange siffan för vilken personlighetsegenskap det gäller, och sedan 1 till 10 för var på skalan karaktären befinner sig. 1.1 betyder tex en med lägsta möjliga samvete och 5.10 är en som håller sanningen i högsta möjliga aktning.  Moralkompass  1. Samvete. Visar på nivån av aktning man visar för samhällets normer under rådande tid. På den lägre änden så går man från att vara rent ohövlig till att bli mer brottslig och samvetslöst kanske våldtar, mördar och rånar. På den högre änden så är man artig och lyder inte bara lagen utan "vad som är rätt", såsom seder och normer.  2. Arbetsmoral. På den låga sidan har vi latmaskar som undviker arbete till alla pris och kommer alltid försöka få andra att utföra jobbet åt dem. Kan till och med gå så långt att riskera liv för att maska. På den höga sidan har vi de som utför sina plikter med vigör, som fyller sina dagar med aktiviteter och träning och underhåll...

Enhance your roleplaying part II

  Enchance your roleplaying part II tricks of the trade I was listening to my favorite RPG podcast, "Ain't Slayed Nobody" and was reflecting on the interplay between the character and the player. The pod has a lot of improvisational focus and the players are almost always extravagantly skilled at this concept.  Building on each other  One of the major rules for improvisational theatre is one a good player and Gamemaster should internalize as well - Don't say no! Say yes, but... and add to the story.  If other players are attempting to use something against your character, the natural impulse is to feel degraded or overruled and to resist. Experiment with allowing the manipulation, and allowing that to add to your character. I was listening to one pod where one characters was humorously ganged up on and had his pride destroyed, as the other characters sedated him and put parasites on him, resulting in the sedated character wetting himself with the relaxed bladder cont...
