"The Real World is Important, But I Wouldn't Want to Live in it All the Time." - Me.

This is something I enjoy a lot, both face to face and over Email. There are lots of roleplaying sites out there. In particular, Woodelf's Page is very good and covers just about every RPG there is.

Click on the section headings to return to the top of the page.

There are some other games which I don't have any material for, but which deserve at least a mention. Firstly GURPS, by Steve Jackson Games, for the sheer variety and quality of its worldbooks and other supplements. And secondly, the various White Wolf games, for their serious angst potential.

 Worlds and World Design

I consider a good world background to be an important part of a decent roleplaying game, and I enjoy creating world backgrounds myself, both of worlds which are the Earth, and also alternate-history Earths. So, first, here are links to, in general, some fairly non-system-specific worlds of my creation along with some general notes and utilities.

Other Worlds and Games Of Mine

• Servants of the Empire : A detailed steampunk fantasy world.
• Girandole : A fantasy universe.

• The City of Moscow as a Game Setting.
  • A gallery of my pictures of Moscow.
• Vladivostok and the Russian Far East as a Game Setting : A related setting to that of Moscow.

• The Pirates Game : What it says!
• A Cross-Dimensional Axis System : Some thoughts on how this might work.

• The Ur-Creature Generator : A web-page-based program using the rules in chapter 4 of GURPS Uplift, first edition to generate an alien creature ready to be uplifted into sentience. Also useful for simply generating ideas for alien races. There is also a PC program version that consists of a 335K zip file containing the program's source code, executable and a 'readme' file.

I have also created a set of pages which describe the scheme of Heaven, Purgatory and Hell from the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri which was used in one of my Amber games.

• Inferno : Hell
• Purgatorio : Purgatory
• Paradiso : Heaven

Also, here is a page something which I have found useful from time to time, and which may be useful to others as well, namely, two methods for calculating the distance to the horizon on any world.

Alien Races

• The Ekrratki - A race with three genders and a very high degree of sexual dimorphism.
• The Gubprwufu - A quadrupedal anaerobic hive-mind race.
• The Hunter Lords - Extremely powerful genetically engineered Martians from an alternate Solar System.
• The Ltss'Tak - Highly changeable gas giant dwellers.
• The Oghaldzon - A tripedal race who see by sonar and who have two genders but no active sex.
• The Txkri - An intrinsically religious quadrupedal race.
• The Wustrtuu - A blind, tentacled, highly casted race who reproduce by something not unlike cancer.

Other Things Of Mine

• The Spinner, an online Chinese gambling spinner

• Some Thoughts on Laser Communicators

And to help in general world design, here are some links to a variety of world design-related sites (I make no promises as to how valid they may currently be).
