[QUOTE="seasong, post: 991134, member: 5137"] Wonderful! I had to subscribe to this one, because I didn't really have time to look through the links Monday, but here I am, a dollar late and a day wiser ;) The [url]http://www.hyw.com/Books/History/xxx[/url] site is beautiful. A lot of juicy tidbits for those of us that like to have history happen around the PCs (development of new war methods, installation of new political systems), and some cool stuff that seems handcrafted for worldbuilding :D. I particularly liked the pay scales for soldiers link. The [URL=http://thomaschen.freewebspace.com/photo4.html]chinese polearms[/URL] was kind of "eh", but then... then! I saw the picture at the bottom left of the page. How did you know that I was running a campaign in an alternate magical steampunk history, circa 1890-1901? [i]How did you know!?[/i] I've told no one, or so I thought, save the players, who are currently in Malcester, England, getting involved with a covey of vampires. That picture, with some judicious narrowing and editting, is going to become a possible Handout Clue, and a whole new vampire is going to be introduced for no better reason than I have a cool ass clue to provide about him :).
