Actually having been around for the creation of the slenderman my ideas ARE with some of the original speculations, it was later that some start with this being some otherworldly being. Overall I've also taking into account other slenderman mythos and actually pulled them all together. Now the thing is, while I'm laying out things HERE, most of this would not be known by players or even people reading. All you know is that there is this weirdo after you or acting oddly.. and how the hell did he get from here to here? In the end the best part of slenderman is that is STILL DEVELOPING. the person who did the original pictures did not have a huge mythos behind that was invented by the marble hornets and others. Alot take inspiration from House of Leaves and other works like that. So frankly dismissing my work as personal speculation until it 'fits' established mythos (NOT CANNON the ONLY cannon would be the creator of the Slenderman and he's released this to the net for people to play with. So there IS NO CANNON.) This is my cannon and the world I'm creating. In the end I may remove slenderman if that is my player consensus, but this is the game I am creating and this is the world I'm making. Even if most people will never know the story behind the stories.. this is what I use to keep everyone together and a little less going off on something that has me going 'um.. what are you doing now?' There has to be a backstory that keeps all the players together into a cohesive whole.
