Well over a year I have gathered quite a lot of links that might be of interest to other RPG forum owners and of course RPG players in general (I've had loads more, but sadly they were on my old computer where I forgot to copy my bookmarks). These links are helpful to create background information for your RPG or your character, to find information about certain periods of time. So basically a list of link resources that might be useful for you RPG's. Most of the links have a little site description so you can figure out what it is about. If you find a link that really is not relevant (because I can't check all the sites through and through), let me know too.

Of course, if you yourself have interesting links that might be a good addition to this list, pm them to me ^^. Please do, as you can help other members here! Links about al subjects below are welcome, but also about other subjects, as long as it could be of some use for RPG's.
