Artesia and Me.

So, what is Artesia? Well, Artesia is a set of graphic novels, a truly excellent role-playing game (Origins award winning).

And I originally stumbled across it by accident. The cover art caught my eye, as I was browsing. Over the next few weeks, whenever I visited the shop, I was slowly teased into buying it by nothing more than what I could see on the cover (Bah, and to think I used to claim to be immune to marketing ploys).

Imagine my surprise when got it home and found what I have come to consider one of the best games I have ever encountered. Given that I have played more games than I care list, this was quiet something.

The one disappointment in all this, the sad lack of supplementation for the game, Despite its amazing standards, in art, system and setting, (which I have yet to see matched as a whole), the Artesia game line currently consists of a core book and the comic series. But in this sad fact, I am finding a silver lining. Self-supplementation! At this point I should warn you that I am imagining fan fairs and a chorus of cheers, but here goes anyway (alas, my psychosis is that deeply ingrained).

Anyway, I am working on a number of small essays and elements of system, which I will be posting here. As the system currently lacks a dedicated forum, this seems as good a place as any.
