Theme of night

On the merry theme of night, today is a very special day. Not only for the reason that today is the day when they commence the dismantling of the cultural heritage of the old "malmbana" around Köping, no. Which is in itself a disaster, I might add! I mean, there is a complete railroad in the sky, and I have been dying to snap some shots of it every time I pass by. Now, they are destroying a magnificent construction, instead of using the preexisting possibilities. Imagine Sweden's longest skytrain! Or just some great Noir-shots... But noooo...
Instead, today is very special. I have just come slid into the tower to serve another morning shift as a peon in the great factory of the sky, but today I get to take home my bed-linen and my sleeping bag! Yessiree, no more sleeping in the tower for me (or as Vendela said "unless you piss me off and the dogs have taken the sofa") which is nothing short of a great victory! Little over a week until I move and then my cozy, warm bed will be only six minutes away. Muahaahahhahahaaaaaa!

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation... Here is the church from the square of Barcelona, located in the middle of the labyrinth that constitutes the artistic old block of winding, veinlike alleys. If this doesn't feel as if you have stumbled into an H.P. Lovecraft-story, I don't know what does. 
When it comes to photography, one of the most capturing and never-ending streams of inspiration is faces. With the myriad of variations and pecularities, one would hardly ever require anything else as a subject. And on the night theme, here's my little sweetheart with a look that can melt a cheese sandwich across the room. 
 And continuing, my photography is once more picking up speed. All things come in waves, I guess. Now, Vendela has as well regained her interest in the matter, and is spurring me so slowly but surely my Flickr-site is filling up with old and new material. Some new sessions have already been planned, and a new priority job has also muscled it's way into my agenda. That makes for some really good upcoming shoots! Right now, I am aching to do the photoshoot for my good friend, the horror novelist Michael Faun. That's right, you probably remember him as the scary fellow from my horror collection of pictures... And then I have received a task to shoot pictures for a series of articles for my employer, on the theme of airports. Seems somehow suitable for me... As if I should have some special access or something, I don't know.

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...
