Fantasy Writer's Resources

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Labyrinth/4905/index.html#General%20Resources

On this page, you will find links to sites which I have found to be of interest and inspiration, and quite informational. I will attempt to add links periodically and I still plan to add descriptions for the links at some point in the future. In this latest, much needed update, I've mostly cleaned up several links which have changed or disappeared entirely. There are also two new categories to which I will soon add links.

This page has not been updated in ages. Since most free pages only last 3-5 years on most systems without someone pulling it, I am going to include most of the links on this page.

AAAHHHHH. I think I am going to have a CP brain melt down.

I am seriously thinking of scrapping my current crappy link page to one that we do ourselves more in 'the citadel' scheme of things. We can do detail and flame voting...something...anything...

Have to figure out how to organize the damn thing to make it useful and make all these links more easily available. I don't like my current links set up.

Hardest part of link surfing is FOCUS!! Hardest part of being a webmaster is FOCUS!?!? What are my priorities, which way is up...aaaaahhhhhh too...m..any....id..eas........

Keep 'em coming Moonhunter!!!

Manfred's generator

#83

http://frix.fri.utc.sk/~manfred/rpg/npc.html

You can now easily generate NPC characteristics from over 150 pieces. Simply push the button.

What are NPC characteristics useful for?
NPCs can be so dry and bland when they come up and you aren't prepared for them. Other NPCs often times only have the stats rolled up and their personalities are neglected. That is where a list of simple characteristics can come in handy and you can stereotype the NPC and at least give them some kind of quirk that defines them a little better. Nobody may remember the innkeeper at that one city, but they may very well remember the innkeeper that picked his nose right before he gave the players their change. Just some little things to define the NPCs and make them more real. Some can be used by players as well to spice up their character a little.

World of Darkness site...

#84

http://www.thedarkcity.org/

The website is dedicated to the World of Darkness and as such it contain resources for all aspects of the World of Darkness. The site has graphic elements (webgallery and forum skins that you can use), Articles about pretty much anything related to RPG and WoD, Downloads, discussion board and much, much more. The website is not yet finished and it will be a while before they get all planned projects set up. Until then you can visit the Forums where you will also be able to follow the progress of the website and all its projects.

Of course we could ask "Why?". But then again, I am currently playing a game 10 years out of print, so I will cast no stones.

Dune

#85

http://houseatreides.com

A site for all things Dune. Specializing in the upcoming NEW Dune Novels, House Atreides, House Harkonnen, and House Corrino. It is also to include information on Dune, the Authors, and other Dune Products, as well as how to order them, if possible.

Dune Role Playing Game Sites: None. Since Last Unicorn got bought up, the Dune RPG has failed to materialize. I have looked about for some material on the net. There was some gurps material, but I was not impressed by it. This saddens me actually. Dune is a rich detailed environment that could easily be used in gaming. I am suprised it has not be done (even badly) before now.

Legendra- A play-by-post roleplaying site. I find it worthy of note due to it's representation of Light as an evil force, rather than a good one as is usually the case.

Forum Gaming at its best

#87

www.rpol.net

This is a site that has several hundred different forum roleplaying games. Some are freeform, some are rules based. There is a wide variety of game settings as well.

The forum has more than just text like most games. There are moderators for each game. The system allows players to have different character names on each game, send private messages to each other, edit posts, use color to express themselves, and a host of other little advantages. If you are going to play by forum, you should be playing here.

More Game Designers

#88

http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/index.html

Mr Reynolds has written for WotC, doing projects you might of heard of. There is some interesting D20 content on his site

His self bio:
Well, I grew up in southern California (5 miles from the Pacific and 8 from Mexico), went to college in Riverside (smog capital of the universe), got a bachelor's degree in chemistry, joined the teacher credential program there, and then decided to go work for a CD-ROM/video game company. In 1995 I moved to Wisconsin to be the webmaster/online coordinator for TSR, the makers of the Dungeons & DragonsÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â® game. When TSR was bought by Wizards of the Coast (makers of the Magic: The GatheringÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â® and PokemonÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â® card games) in 1997, I moved out to their office in Renton, Washington, and took a job in their game design department in the spring of 1998. I was let go in March 2002 (an amiable agreement between myself and WotC, since I was going to be moving out of state soon after).
While I was at WotC, I wrote products for Dungeons & Dragons, Greyhawk, Alternity, Ravenloft, and the Forgotten Realms. My girlfriend lived in Florida until the Fall 1999, but she has now graduated from college with a degree in dance and moved out to Washington. :)

Yet more D20 crap

#89

http://www.community3e.com/

While I am not a big fan of D20, it is the Linga Franca of gamers today. This site has a lot of useful D20 material and seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. It also has an active little forum

Their goal is to create a great community for all 3E fans to come and enjoy and to give gamers a place to voice their opinion, whatever it may be. They take submissions for original material be it new races, classes, monsters or just helpful files as well as stories, poetry and art. They want to be more than just a storehouse of material, they want to be YOUR home for 3E on the net.

Aquela

#90

http://www.aquela.com/roleplaying/index.html

James Wyatt is yet another published game designer who has written a few things you might know. While the site has many "neat" tidbits, I really like the world sets ups he lists on his site.

http://www.aquela.com/roleplaying/worlds.html

Aquela is truly worth looking at. The rest are "pretty darn neat" as well.

Emerald Night

#91

http://www.gigs-bytes.com/emeraldnight/

EMERALD NIGHT QUARTERLY RELEASED!

After some trials and tribulations, we have finally managed to get this one out to the public. A MASSIVE 145 PAGES LONG, this PDF compiles twelve months of resources from EMERALD NIGHT into one product and best of all.... IT IS FREE!!! Click here for more information.

There is a lot of stuff there and some of it is worth wading through the rest of it

Spys!

#92

http://www.modus-operandi.co.uk/default.asp

modus operandi n. (pl. modi operandi) 1 the particular way in which a person performs a task or action. 2 the way a thing operates

A spy game website that has been going since the days of top secret. Spycraft has been very, very good to them (And D20 modern too).

Warfare, in miniature

#93

http://fanaticus.org/

Fanaticus is a virtual community of ancient and medieval wargamers and amateur historians who use the De Bellis Antiquitatis (DBA) and/or related DBx rules for gaming. You can "join" simply by participating.

So you are all going, "Why is he mentioning this? We are roleplayers not miniature people!" Well, most fantasy games are set in either historical periods, historical analogs, or worlds of comparable technology and structure, and they have soldiers, warriors, and wars. A little knowledge about real world historical forces and their equipment, their tactics, and their times, will let you add verisimilitude to your world, authority to your opinions, and give your monsters and minions a better chance at survival against the player characters.

Maps! Maps! Maps!

#95

http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/gmdhome.html
The Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress holds more than 4.5 million items, of which Map Collections represents only a small fraction, those that have been converted to digital form.

The focus of Map Collections is Americana and Cartographic Treasures of the Library of Congress. These images were created from maps and atlases and, in general, are restricted to items that are not covered by copyright protection.

Map Collections is organized according to seven major categories. Because a map will be assigned to only one category, unless it is part of more than one core collection, searching Map Collections at this level will provide the most complete results since the indexes for all categories are searched simultaneously. Maps can now be downloaded.

http://crpp0001.uqtr.uquebec.ca/www_wanderer/Towns/towns.html
Lots of historical maps

http://www.davidrumsey.com/
The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection has over 8,800 maps online. The collection focuses on rare 18th and 19th century North and South America maps and other cartographic materials. Historic maps of the World, Europe, Asia and Africa are also represented. Collection categories include antique atlas, globe, school geography, maritime chart, state, county, city, pocket, wall, childrens and manuscript maps. The collection can be used to study history, genealogy and family history.

http://theminiaturespage.com/index.mv

Welcome to The Miniatures Page, the home of miniature wargaming on the Internet. A "wargaming miniature" is a scale replica of a soldier or vehicle intended for use in a game.

Here we cover everything from Ancient Egypt to the Gulf War, from haunted dungeons to dueling starships, from German panzers to Prussian lancers...and no historical era is too obscure!

Welcome to PaperWorlds.com!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is your resource for paper accessories for tabletop miniatures gaming, wargaming, roleplaying and more.

You will find news, reviews, discussions and links relating to:

Printable paper models (foldups), paper miniatures, floorplans, counters, tilesets, terrain, games and more.

While not the only site to offer paper figures, it is the most comprehensive of the sites I have ever encountered. It is fairly new, as these kinds of sites go, but I think this one will go the distance.

Silven... Or another way to get a dose of MoonHunter

#99

http://www.silven.com

They have a large free PDF eZine. I am a regular contributor. I occassionally drop bits of wit and wisdom on the boards as well.

Mission Statement
Silven Crossroads aims to become the premiere free resource for the role-playing game industry and its fans, servicing our visitors with a professional web portal and playing the role of an industry innovator and business partner for dedicated and driven individuals and organizations working to improve the global role-playing game industry.

Words from the guy in Charge

Soooo you wonder..Silven Crossroads? eh?

Simply put it's all about pooling together the RPG community of the world. For those of you that have been around the internet a while you may recognize my name. Many years ago, in the days of Mosaic v1.1 and when people were still going "What's email?" I started a site called Kosala's AD&D Mansion. As it turned out it became one of the first communities of any kind on the internet and the first to seriously furnish the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons genre with a proper web community.

After running it for a number of years I was forced to leave it for the more serious business of building a company or two. Now I have returned to the gaming scene, and this time to stay. Silven Crossroads is a non-profit, privately owned website that has no affiliations with any one developer or publisher of RPG's. My hope is the this web portal will become a platform for positive change and growth in the industry for many years to come, and serve as unified place where all RPG gamers may come for information, resources and to just hang out. Enjoy, learn and contribute.

Shhhhhhhh.

http://www.rpglibrary.org/

Another tried and true site. It has an interesting spin. If it had more data, it would be a truly awsome.

RPG Library is a collection of links for role-playing related web sites, as well as links to books, movies, and reference materials. It includes a rating system so that you can get a feel for what other people think of a link before you click on it. Why would you care what other people think? Hell if I know.

They have made a few design decisions concerning RPG Library that go against the current trend of entertainment web site development. For example, no banner ads, no pop-ups, no advertising of any kind. Zero. They hate banner ads as much as you do. They also want this site to be visible to everyone, no matter what browser they are using *. Now, usually you find the above disclaimer ("viewable with all browsers...") on the ugliest web sites on earth. They offer no guarantees that you will consider RPG Library an exception to that rule.

Why do these things come in twos?

#101

http://www.fantasylibrary.com/

Can you say oodles upon oodles? I knew you could. This site has oodles and oodles of information useful for people who play a variety of games. This is not just a list of feats/ traits/ skills. This is useful info on the hows and whys of all sorts of gaming (with a few feats and skills). You may have to dig for some of it (and the organization is ponderous). However, you will find things here that you can not find anywhere else.

Founded in 1999 the Fantasy Library website acts as an online repository for things Fantastic, Fanciful, Fanish and Frightening. We're doing this for fun, to share and illuminate imaginations around the world. We're always looking for new talent and ideas for the site, so email us if you want to join our authors and artists. The Fantasylibrary.com Website is operated by Naughty Faerie Productions as a not-for-profit project.

The Library ( http://www.fantasylibrary.com/foyer.htm ) is a listing of things on and off the site. It looks like the links were cleaned recently, and many of them were dead. New ones will follow. This area also leads to a number of eBooks to read (classic sci-fi/ fantasy/ spec fic)
If you are looking for the Fabled Cosmic Syncronity Free RPG, it is here.

The Lounge ( http://www.fantasylibrary.com/lounge/lounge.htm ) aka Naughty Games is where most of the best information is. It shows where a variety of free and indie games are, genre material, and oodles and oodles of stuff.

The Column ( http://www.fantasylibrary.com/synthesis&synchronicity.htm )
The rants, ravings, and insights. Nuff said.

Other odds and ends are present as well.

It is all about the Guides!

#102

http://members.aol.com/dwcope/start.html

Uncle Figgy's Guides are some of the best little pieces of roleplaying lore out there. Everyone should check them at least once.

A Rift....
In the fabric of Reality
A Portal....
to worlds beyond our own.

Who is Uncle Figgy?
His real name is Dan Cope, and has been roleplaying for about 23 years (gamemastering for about twelve of those). He is the author of several published small-press pieces. He has completed three novels (all of which are in the process of being rewritten) and is currently working on three more as well as writing the "Uncle Figgy's" Guides. He has been writing professionally for about 12 years.

What are Uncle Figgy's Guides?
In April of 1998, Uncle Figgy finished work on a book of the collected experience of 17 years of roleplaying and 12 years of gamemastering. Since he was currently learning html at the time, he decided to put the first book, Uncle Figgy's Guide to Good GameMastering, online. The response was overwhelming -- with the book receiving an average of about 600 readers per month.

Uncle Figgy's Guides are not rules to live (or play) by. Neither are they a statement of "my way is right and your way is wrong". Basically, Uncle Figgy's Guides are a reflection of the way he likes to play, and they are all those things he has learned (mostly by analyzing the mistakes of others) that have helped me achieve the level of play that he enjoys (a very light, cinematic style). Just like anything else in the gaming world, feel free to take what you like and leave the rest.

Uncle Figgy's Guide to Good GameMastering How to manipulate friends and influence people.

http://www.jediism.org/

Jediism is not the same as that which is portrayed within the Star Wars Saga by George Lucas and Lucasfilm LTD. George Lucas' JediÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢ are fictional characters that exist within a literary and cinematic universe. The JediÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢ discussed within this website refer to factual people within this world that live or lived their lives according to Jediism, of which we recognize and work together as a community to both cultivate and celebrate.

We embrace Jediism as a real living, breathing way of life, and sincerely strive to seek out and emulate real life examples of Jediism in the long rich history of mankind. Jediism bases less of its focus on myth and fiction, and more upon those real life examples of Jediism found in the hearts of heroes and within the actions of such.

The history of the path of Jediism traverses thought based on age-old principles that have held fast through the ages. It shares many themes embraced in Hinduism, Confucionism, Buddhism, Gnosticism, Stoicism, Catholicism, Taoism, Shinto, Modern Mysticism, the Way of the Shaolin Monks, the Knight's Code of Chivalry and the Samurai Warriors. We recognize that many times the answers to mankind's problems comes from within the purified hearts of genuine seekers of truth. Theology, philosophy and religious doctrine can facilitate this process, but we believe that it would be a futile exercise for any belief system to claim to hold all the answers to all the serious questions posed to seekers of truth in the 21st century. Jediism may help facilitate this process, yet we also acknowledge that it is up to the true believer who applies the universal truths inherent within Jediism to find the answers they seek.

The Chainmaille Board is a place to meet, teach, learn from, and have fun with other maillers from all over the world. We are proud be a family oriented discussion board, for all ages and skill levels. Its owner, Charles Gragg a.k.a. Lord Charles DeCordenÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â© has made The Chainmaille Board into the first, largest, and best online Chainmaille community in the WORLD.
Forget the chainmaille, this site has hundreds of quality history links for all around the world (though concentrating on Europe).

http://www.armourarchive.org/
The Archive is an on-line Journal devoted to teaching people how to make armour. They try to gather as much armouring information as they can to help beginner armourers avoid reinventing the wheel, and to help advanced armourers grasp the finer points of armouring.

The collection of essays found within this site is just one source available. The message boards on the Archive are frequented by many advanced armourers who willingly share their knowledge with newcomers to the craft. Please, do not hesitate to ask any question. They have also set aside areas of this website for people who try to re-create medieval combat. After all, if there weren't warriors dressed in armour, who would they sell our wares to???

http://www.arador.com/
The mission of The Arador Armour Library is to impact the standards and level of knowledge about arms & armour throughout the community and stamp out the many myths and misconceptions that have arisen due to television, movies, and role playing games. They believe that by emphasizing authenticity and bringing scholarly information to the end-users, they can spread the knowledge to a broader audience that can then take what they learn and share it with others. Those who have been around for a while are encouraged to participate in our new Forums and share what they have learned. Those new to the community are welcomed to bring their questions to our Forums, where they can find direction thanks to our many knowledgeable and dedicated participants.

http://www.netsword.com/
NetSword is an Internet discussion group for medieval and renaissance swords, daggers and associated weapons of war. In this series of forums we discuss modern replicas of historical swords along with many other types of weapons and their related fighting techniques. We also discuss all types of historical swords, and the artifacts and events surrounding weapons and warfare from medieval and renaissance times. In addition, we have forums on religion and politics to cover general history, and another one on culture.

I'n mo web design expert so don't expect too many bells and ribbons - but hopefully some interesting ideas are here:

Terrestia is one of my campaign settings - it's an 'afterlife' world for the less than divine - replete with it's own intrigues, factions and issues.

MMMMMMMM AAAAARRRRRMMMMMMMOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRR

Alas, I stalled at a 3x3 foot piece and have hundreds of yards of large coils of steel in my closet still.

Erebus-Where does the art come from? I like it! Interesting game concept as well, been trying to get to it for ages but I only seem to have time while I am at work and angelfire is blocked. Figures when I have time, I really don't, so can't give a real opinion yet.

The art is 'borrowed' from Luis Royo and all of it is taken from his latest album of art entitled; 'Visions'.

I often like to pick a particular artist whose images I'll use to define a campaign 'look'. In this case Royo's 'Visions' really caught my imagination...

Actually I'm just working through some of the many links here - and I found a page within a page well worth bringing to the fore:

http://chrysanthemumroad.tripod.com/writing/HellWalk.htm

About as fantastic an article on creating real 'horror' in campaigns as I've ever read. The author uses the Shadowlands for reference but the principles could hold true in any horror scenario.

Come on. We all need daily news. It's my homepage. Yea... right.

Great online directory of browser based games. Also other online games, but the reviews and such aren't as good.

Also a very good site. There's a site called Elfwood that I love too, but their server is sort of laggy and I don't visit it too often. And their URL is something complex, so if you want to visit that site, which does have a lot of good pictures, just enter Elfwood into google or something to get the URL. :)

We know all about Elfwood. Trust me.

Something tells me there's a whole long story behind that. And it seems to me you love to chaingun those long posts out.

Care to explain? :D

They are small, but cater to RP Characters. It's an awsome little community

Forgotten Realms portal
If you can't get enough of Forgotten Realms.... This has charcters, magic, etc, a forum, various resources, and all that you would expect of a good DnD site.

The site admin: My name is Jan Enroth. Im in the 30s and live in a small town in northern Sweden. I have played rpgs since 1986, and the first game I ever played was the AD&D game. I began to DM in the Forgotten Realms in 1991, and I have ever since been hooked to this fantastic game setting. Im lucky enough to have every accessory of the Realms released, missing only a few of the early adventures.

Dimensions game software.
Yes, I know. Another company site selling things. Their softwear is good. That is not the reason I direct your attention there. You might find all the generators and freebes on the site worth the click.

Not one you tend to see in generic fantasy galleries - but some very striking work here - would suit certain campaign styles... kind of gothic/erotic/horror - semi-cyber - I used a lot of these pictures when running a futuristic Ravenloft campaign (but that's another story....!)
