General Off-Topic: Do you need a break from role playing? If you're looking for a place to kick back and relax, be it to while away some time with a game of word association, or if you just want to chat about something which isn't RPG related for a change, step inside and entertain yourselves!

Media & Entertainment: Maybe you're a bookworm who's just discovered a brilliant new urban fantasy series; perhaps you're a total movie buff wanting to discuss the epic new film you've just been to see; maybe there's an album or song you can't get out of your head; you might just be glued to your sofa for the next episode of your current television obsession. If you're one - or all! - of these, come in and discuss whatever you're enjoying with other fans... or convert a few people!

Digital Art: Plenty of Cryptic Realm's members play around with graphics software like Photoshop - so if you're one of them, come on in and set up a gallery to showcase how you express your creativity in a different artistic medium to writing.

Creative Writing: Role playing isn't the only form of creative writing entertainment. It doesn't matter whether it's for fun or if you aspire to be published, if you love to write in general - anything from poetry to original stories, or even good old fan fiction - don't hesitate to come on in and post your writing for all of us here at Cryptic Realm to read and review.
