 		[WEBSITE] barrensoul.com (Roman Bern's Book)
http://barrensoul.com/
In game or out?

Take a look around.
"The Barren Soul", by Roman Bern - available soon!"
The style of the book's page is the same as the one from Roman to Peter to Dale. Seen here.
And there's mention of his grandmother on that page and on the site.

I've sent in my email address to order the book, so far no response.

"How did you find this?", you may ask.
Some kind of weird flow of consciousness, is the best I can describe it.
I was searching the pic from Dales journal, looking for a kloo.
I came back to the forums, to see if anyone had posted, and got distracted by the possible anagrams on the wessonstudio page.
Wes' son---> Wes--->bumpersticker
Then I tried several urls with "My soul is in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey" when I hit on barrensoul.
For all I know, there may have been something hidden in that picture that Dale posted, that sunk in subliminally.

So, what do you think... In game or out?
edit: to add more of the whois info and to make a correction about sending my email address. (I didn't email them, there's no addy.)

 		Don't have a hat - but would eat it if this isn't in-game.

Just read the About information and how Roman was found wandering through the Barrens as a child and was taken in by the "Grandmother" figure. Also she was an artist.

It deals with Roman. It has a lost child found in the Barrens. The style of the page is very much in keeping with other sites along with the WhoIs Info.

Has anyone sent this info to Peter? Not that sending stuff seems to be doing any good lately. lol

 		There's an update with two new pages added to the homepage. It sounds like there could be a puzzle/clue contained on these new pages. Page7 has paw/footprints on the page and page8 says:

Quote:
Page 8 - The creatures of the Barrens aren't too hard to find, if you know what you are looking for. If you can find a fresh, dark print, and follow the right ones when you see them, you can find many of the Pines secrets.

My name is Roman Bern but, as you may have guessed, that is not a real name at all. It is more of a description than anything else.

The story told by this book is not really even my story, except in a loose and somewhat symbolic sense. In fact, it is not really a story at all, but more of a tool, a device, a means to an end.

It is a way of telling you and certain others about things that could not be explained in any other way.

There are things, forces, at work in this world that we do not understand, that cannot be explained by the rules of everyday reality. In fact, I'm not sure there is A reality, because things can change. Believe me, I know.

I went to sleep and woke up in a world I didn't recognize. A world where there was no place for me, or for the memories I bore.

Am I the only one who knows the truth? Am I the only one who remembers?

 		Someone else who had an encounter with The Wish and remembers?

Is this Dale's new way of communicating? I don't think so - but we have Dale telling us he's going to find a new way of communicating and then we get Roman telling us he's going to use the book to tell us things that he can't in anyother way.

Or is this Wes?

I still haven't heard back from the seemingly missing Peter about the links of Wes's picture in Dale's Graphic Novel that I sent him.

 		Roman Bern anagrams to Reborn Man (but you probably already knew that). I'm also wondering who this is - how it might relate to the guy locked up in Klepsydra (is he really locked up, or can he go out on pass, and does he have access to a computer to send stuff to Peter???)

 		I may be wrong, but it seems like there is more to page 11 than meets the eye

The letters anagram to "I am Wes Keeler".
