Fantasy Art Resource Project

I'm truly surprised no-one has mentioned this before but there's some excellent fantasy art & writing resources to be found on the FARP. I have forgottenthe exact address but if you type FARP into google (or if you're onthe very latest version of IE, into the address bar), you should find it easily.

Rinkworks site

I enjoy going to the Rinkworks site. One of the two guys running it has been writing computer games; (I'm not totally sure if the other one does). The site has a forum, polls, games, a name generator with many options, and lots of other neat stuff.

Art inspiring pictures

Here is a post for showing links that helped you build a race,make a person,create a building with just one picture.www.wowwiki.com/Image:Unbroken.jpg

That picture helped me create a race of people who live on a frozen moon(frozen moon idea was mine). When I look at this picture,I think of a raspy elderly voice saying: "I'm not myself...

One of the Most Useful Things Out There

The Domesday Book

Fill in the details of your country or realm or what have you and it tells you:

the population
the number of villages, towns and cities
the number of livestock
the number of tradesmen
the number of castles

Basically, it calculates how many people and such could realistically exist in each country. Very useful.

Obscure Website

Found this, dunno if it's of any use to anyone. Looks like it could be quite useful.

Critics and critiqueing

feeds@yuku.com (theWallflower) — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 08:14:57 GMT

Does anyone know of any websites that critique, peer review, edit, or otherwise offer feedback on written works, fan fiction or original? One of the obstacles I'm facing these days is that none of my friends or relatives are writers/readers, none of them are critical enough, and none of them know enough about my chosen genre to give any sort of useful advice. So I feel funny, and sort of bad, for giving them stuff to critique (the last thing I'm sure they want is more work to do). Does anyone...

Not all the questions may be appropriate. This is used for constructing the races.

What is the status of the various arts (dance, music, theatre, etc.) in this society?
Are artists revered or mistrusted?
Who supports the arts? Which arts are most highly valued and why?

The Golden Age Hero Directory

Golden Age Hero Directory

It's awesome! It's a huge listing of loads of Golden Age Heroes (as the title suggests) and each entry comes with the year of first appearance, where it first appeared, who published it, any secret identitities, an d illustrations of their costumes.

Some of them have more than one illustration,...

Writing Scifi and Fantasy

feeds@yuku.com (Destructo2400) — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 05:52:40 GMT

I don' know if you've ever been here, but it's a great site about writing science fiction and fantasy. Even if you don't write scifi or fantasy, it'll still help you with something. It basically leads you through the whole process. It's actually very useful. You should read the whole thing. It might take awhile, but it'll help. And if it doesn't, you can return it for your money back!

Character Interrogation

feeds@yuku.com (Ablean Buckslinger) — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 04:27:36 GMT

I posted this last time, before the forum crashed, and thought I'd better put it up again.

You may think that your character is fully formed but if you want a really detailed character, answer all of these questions. Answers such as I dont know and My character wouldnt do that, are not acceptable.

1. What is the full name of your character?
2. What is their date of birth?
3. What race are they?
4. ...

Mad Monarchs

feeds@yuku.com (anacharis) — Thu, 23 Feb 2006 19:13:14 GMT

this could possibly go in Cool Stuff or WTF, but I figure it's gotta be useful as a resource for writers, if only for the sheer character of the page

Anyway, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I present Mad Monarchs

I wrote this to help myself but I thought I should pass the wisdom on. It is based on another one I found but this one is quite simple to follow. Let me know if you have any luck with building a culture from this.
