jazzfishRene Magritte kicks much ass.
_Clairvoyance_ expresses pretty well what I think the work of the artist should be, too.
I'm starting yet another Amber game tonight. Players are Emily, Vond, Nathan, Adam, and J. Of them all, only Emily and Vond have played Amber before, and J. still isn't through the books yet. (He's through _Nine Princes_, and promises he'll be finishing the rest this week.) I figure we'll get through character creation tonight, maybe run some intro stuff, and actually get started on the game proper next week.
For those who care: it's set after the Corwin chronicles, and disregards the Merlin books altogether. There is no Logrus; Chaosites instead learn "Shadowmastery", which allows them to manipulate Shadow provided they're far enough from a Pattern. My cosmology is a bit wonky, drawing on things that were briefly mentioned (or not mentioned at all, and are conspicuous by their absence) in the books, but I've tried hard not to actually contradict the first five books anywhere. Except where the source was unreliable.
I'm not quite going to be running this totally off-the-cuff. That vaguely creeps me out...
