What's New • About This Site • Site Map • What are RPGs? • Company List • Bigass List of Games • Free RPGs • Murder Mysteries • RPG Theory • System Design • Systems & Reviews • Games&Copyright • My Campaigns • Links

         This is an slightly-organized but purely personal collection of RPG-related links which I am interested in. Note that I have separate sections for my extensive RPG company list and Free RPG list. This list of links is not updated very often, and rarely pruned. Like most of the rest of my site, this is primarily devoted to pencil & paper RPGs (as opposed to computer games, live-action games, and play-by-email games).
