The world wide web provides a wonderful resource for the harried
Gamemaster who needs to do quick research without spending a whole lot
of time at it. While there is no substitute for a trip the library,
nowadays you can find all sorts of great information on the web both to
strength your Gamemastering, and to lend your game an air of
verisimilitude.
Here, we strive to collect some of the best links for the Gamemeaster
who would do on-line research. If you have found a link particularly
