[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5487011, member: 34175"] There are quite a few books about weapons both RPG and historical reference. RPG books that are not hard to come by include : * the [U]2eAD&D Arms and Equipment Guide[/U]. Unlike the 3.X and 4e versions the armor and arms described within are, for the most part, historically accurate. * Palladium has a whole line devoted to the subject including: @ [U]Weapons & Assassins[/U] @ [U]Weapons & Castles[/U] @ [U] Weapons & Castles of the Orient[/U] Books with a more archeological and historical reference usage: #[U] Weapons: A Pictorial History [/U]-Edwin Tunis / Paperback 151 pages / Published July 1999 # [U]Arms and Armour of the Crusading Era, 1050-1350: Western Europe and the Crusader States[/U] -David Nicolle / Hardcover 640 pages / Published August 1999 # [U]Weapon: A Visual History of Arms and Armor [/U]DK Publishing (an excellent resource) # [U]Weapons: An International Encyclopedia From 5000 B.C. to 2000 A.D., Updated Edition [/U]Diagram Group (A book I have used since I was about 12 - by far one of the most inclusive of all periods) DK publishing also has a series of "Eyewitness" books aimed at the juvenile audience but contains good source material none the less. Titles include: @ [U]Arms & Armor[/U] @ [U]Castles[/U] @ [U]Battle[/U] @ [U]Medieval Life[/U] Hopefully you can find these in your local library or order them for yourself (Amazon carries most of them). Hope this helps. BTW: Though it is great for inspiration, some of the info they use on the show DW is suspect and spurious, so do your research carefully. [/QUOTE]
