Not too sure where this goes so move/delete as necessary.

On the topic of using music in games, movie soundtracks are great, but again if you can work 'em right. Thanks to the internet we get things like sound blogs. Sound Blogs. Crazy movie fans and rabid collectors ripping, packing and uploading their CD's.

There are also image blogs which specialize in everything from 'random' to 'old/vintage' 'hdr' and so on.

http://community.livejournal.com/vintagephoto/ - anything from actors/actresses to early photography and even some old 'family' photos of the poster. I think the only requirement is that the image was taken pre-1980. Every once in a while someone will post some really great old photos of WW1 Troop Parade formations or those horrifying 'gas suits' (full body gas masks that look like Gene Co's Repo Man).

I know there are many more out there but I'm too lazy to find them. I blame the tea. It's "relax" and it's putting me to sleep.

Speaking of blogs and unnerving pictures, I wonder how most players would react to an NPC owning this cat:

What if it was a Call of Cthulhu game?

Then separate the remains and bury them is four different areas around the globe. The 7th seal must not be broken!!!
