Links

The expected links to other resources.

The Exodus Project: Keith Watt's background for a series of hard SF novels and role-playing game. Contains really useful introductions to orbital mechanics, astronomy, and gravitational wave detectors.
Role-playing Fiction: A searchable archive of fiction somehow related to role-playing, including a piece by yours truly.
Mythic Structure In Role-Playing Games: A fascinating article on how the mythic structure (as put forth by Joseph Campbell in Hero with a Thousand Faces) can be used in role-playing games.
The DC Heroes FAQ: The FAQ and links for the DC Heroes game and mailing list.
Hero Games: I used to love it; I love it less, now, but this is their home page.
Blacksburg Tactical Research Center: Greg Porter produces CORPS and other fine games. He may have some material by me up there someday, too; he's received it but just hasn't got around to putting it up.
Superhumans: The Horizon: Some thoughts on including superheroes in the White Wolf World of Darkness. I helped.
Running a Successful PBeM Campaign: Interesting advice on running a PBeM.

World-Building

Some links about world-building:

Lars Eighner's World-Building Page: If you're into designing (RPG) worlds, you have to start here. One of the best collections of resources I've found so far.
A Course in World Building: Like it says: there's a university course in designing a world and its inhabitants.
Wharram Percy: The Lost Medieval Village: Information about a real medieval village; a useful antidote to many things we read in bad fantasy and worse role-playing supplements...
The Human Languages Page: Since Tolkien (at least), world-builders have been creating languages. Here's a starting point for making the languages plausible and self-consistent.
John Morrow's Web Homepage: John Morrow has a lot of links to interesting places; the emphasis is on world-building and science fiction.

Want it weird and unexpected? Then don't get your myths from other people's RPG supplements; get it from the people:
