[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 1543741, member: 8447"] To start off, here are some decent websites on or related to the topic: [url]http://www.geocities.com/branwaedd/[/url] (this one is for Celtic texts, with some very accurate translations -- the Welsh Triads are particularly interesting) [url]http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/cphome.stm[/url] (THE site for Arthurian texts available on the web, as well as links on all sorts of articles on specific Arthurian topics) [url]http://www.arthuriana.co.uk/[/url] [url]http://smu.edu/arthuriana/[/url] [url]http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jjd23/arthur/Arthur_Old/general.html[/url] [url]http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook2.html[/url] (These four are my "great backup Arthur sites") Now all of these sites (and anything else I recommend) will send you down a different line than Lawhead. He has a very, errr...[I]idiosyncratic[/I]... view of the legends, to put it politely. As for books, if you can get ahold of either [U]The New Arthurian Encyclopedia[/U] by Norris Lacy or Phyllis Ann Karr's [U]The King Arthur Companion[/U] you will not go far wrong. There are several great novels as well (and some questionable "histories") available out there, but not know what in particular you are aiming to do with your game, I'll confine myself to these. Oh, I would warn you against anything by John and Caitlin Matthews and R.J. Stewart who, though I believe quite sincere, are also just far too determinedly "New Age-y" to be taken at all seriously.
