====== Glendale Links ======

This page includes links to various interesting web sites.

====== Bloody Amazing ======



Sites that fit into the //Bloody Amazing// category
are web sites which I think are, well, Bloody Amazing.



[[http://www.merzo.net/|Starship Dimensions]] - 
Want to know how big that starship really is? Look no
further. Full of scale images of many starships from
both the real world and science fiction.



[[http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/|Encyclopedia of Arda]] - 
A complete encyclopedia of Tolkien's Middle Earth. Not
only is it full of useful information, but it's also
reasonably well organised and keeps the HTML relatively
simple, making it readable.

====== Game Shops ======



The following is a list of gaming companies in the UK who
sell good stuff. Mostly online wargame stuff, since such is
so difficult to get hold of from high street shops.



[[http://www.wargameswarehouse.co.uk|Wargames Warehouse]] - 
Sell lots of good stuff, especially the MasterMaze dungeon
terrain, of which I have bought quite a bit.



[[http://www.wargamesfoundry.com|Wargames Foundry]] - 
Lots of good ancients figures - I mostly use them for vikings
and hordes of naked elf women (yes, I'm serious).



[[http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/purbeckterrain/index.html|Purbeck Terrain System]] - 
Some of the best wargaming terrain out there. Definitely
worth a look, though buying is complicated because they
don't accept credit/debit cards.



[[http://wargamesworkshop.co.uk|Wargames Workshop]] - 
Haven't used this one yet, but seem to have some nice
terrain.



[[http://www.gtns.co.uk/store1/|Ground Zero Games]] - 
Science fiction wargaming, good figures, good rules,
poor website design.

====== Game Companies ======

The British Isles Traveller Support group, producers of much
UK Traveller material.



[[http://www.chaosium.com/|Chaosium]] - 
Pendragon, Runequest, Call of Cthulhu and other games.



[[http://www.geohex.com/|GEO-HEX]] - 
For wargaming terrain, Dirtside II, Full Thrust and other
Ground Zero Games products.



[[http://www.sjgames.com/|Steve Jackson Games]] - 
Infamous for its GURPS products, whether you love or hate
the system, SJG produce some marvellous source books for a
multitude of genres.



[[http://www.wizards.com/|Wizards of the Coast]] - 
The owners of Dungeons and Dragons, and the creators of d20.
You belong to us. You will be like us.

A site for Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman and British living
history.

====== Reality ======



[[http://www.classicalfencing.com/articles/bloody.shtml|The Mythical Quick Kill]] - 
An interesting look at just how deadly sword fighting
is. Or, in the case of some people, isn't.
