I have a very eclectic group of links under my Gaming Resources favorites (and little recollection of from whom I first discovered them...):

For names, all sorts: Kate Monk's Onomastikon (http://www.gaminggeeks.org/Resources/KateMonk/) (although the original disappeared, this mirror is desparately useful in any Fantasy game)

For Victorian-style magick: The Arbatel of Magick (http://www.esotericarchives.com/solomon/arbatel.htm) (referenced by Dee, Waite, etc.)

Historical city maps: Dutch City maps from the Blaeu Atlas (http://grid.let.rug.nl/~welling/maps/blaeu.html)

Indian mythology: Indian Mythology, Facts (http://webonautics.com/mythology/mythology.html)

Oriental Emperors: Indian, Chinese, & Japanese Emperors (http://www.friesian.com/sangoku.htm#japan)

Brief bit on Japanese Taoism: Onmyodo (http://www.geocities.com/fascin8or/jsp_taoism.htm)

That last post took forever to load, so instead of editing I'll just add here: the Arbatel of Magick combines very well with Hermetic alchemy if you're looking for a pseudo-historical magical system (say, Elizabethan through Victorian eras).

Following some of the links on Ardalambion also leads to some cool sites. One of my favorites being:

The Language Construction Kit (http://www.zompist.com/kit.html)

Googling up "Model Languages", "Constructed Languages", "Conlang", or "Glossopoiesis" also gives some interesting resources.

Also googling "harn", "harnworld" and "harnmaster" - even before Harn became a roleplaying game and was just a generic resource, the material was wonderful for Dark Age campaigns. Especially if you want realism - there's lots of fan sites out there.

PS - by Dark Age, I mean AD 500-1100, and not "gritty melodramatic noir fantasy", although it could be...

When I have time, I'll compile them all together into the first post - the same way that TheQuestionMan has done for his conversion threads.

Good day Curufea, this is a great resource. I was too intimidated by the breadth of Fantasy Web Resources to even attempt it.

Thanks

Nice! Mind you I did buy the Elvish dictionary book years ago :)

What I am thinking of doing next - is employing my "learn-as-you-go" PHP skills, my limited knowledge of SQL, and my website which has both a database and PHP server to create an updatable database of links. Once this is done, I'll just change the first post to an iframe and point it at my website, so people can add/delete their own links as they discover them, or find they are broken.
