The areas in the graphic above are some good and (perhaps) useful links. The Labyrinth is a Medieval studies site with links to all kinds of resources for historians and students of Medieval literature. The Louvre web museum is an outstanding collection of paintings running up to the modern period.

At some point, I'll have to build a new graphic splash map so I can add this outstanding list of primary historical sources available on the Net.

The game-centric nature of this neighborhood is served first and foremost by the link to the Drifting World, a role-playing game world described by files at this site. The Drifting World is a part of the GURPS WebWorlds project, an attempt to make use of GURPS's potential diversity by presenting a bunch of campaign worlds and methods for connecting them for a potentially multiversal campaign. If your browser can't deal with frames, you'd best access the Drifting World through the frame-free version.

I have a campaign description for a PBEM RPG I was going to run for some friends that never got off the ground, and this is where you can find my architecture rules for GURPS.

I'm in an ongoing process of compiling a list of content-rich GURPS-related sites and other good sources of gaming material. If I just wanted pages that had the word "GURPS" on them, I could list a thousand sites pointing to Steve Jackson Games or to each other, but sources of content are few and far between. In addition to the WebWorlds and GURPS home pages, I've also found the following:


Some years ago, while I was working on my MA in archaeology, I spent a summer in Cyprus and was fortunate enough to see a great deal of Cypriot ecclesiastical architecture and art. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the Orthodox church of Cyprus has its very own web site. They have calendars, information on looted churches (a serious problem since the Turkish invasion), and religious art. Check it out and download some real icons.




The motley assemblage in the picture are my old gaming crew, a batch of people I have known for longer than I'd like to admit (as we like to say, "Solitudinem facimus, apellamus pacem"). From left to right, they are Tim (Beaker) Van Beke, my brother Andrew, Colin Klipsch, Steve Drevik (at whose house this picture was taken), Allen Hsu (from whose web site I stole this picture), and the mysterious spirit of Benson Fong. In addition to the image-mapped links in the picture, I should probably mention Steve's usually interesting left-leaning political commentary page.

Among the people I know who aren't in the picture are more recent friends Naomi, Phil, and J. Michael. There are also some nice sites for the works of Jack Vance (my favorite living fantasy author) and Warren Zevon.


This page is not necessarily best when viewed with Netscape, but that's the only platform I have tested it on, so I can't speak for other browsers.

Big thanks to the folks at GeoCities for providing me this space.
