I've been doing some research for my Iron and Chaos setting regarding bronze, iron, and steel.In the world of Iron and Chaos, there are cultures with differing technology levels, so I need to read up a bit more on the subject and then "game-ify" it so that - for example - the difference between a bronze sword and a steel sword has an in-game effect.

If you are interested in the subject, here are a few links I've been checking out. I will be happy to post any additional information and sites that I find if anyone is interested

Roleplaying Links

Hello, all!

I have added some pages to my blog that I am steadily filling with useful and interesting links.

• Open Game License Roleplaying Games
• System Reference Documents
• Roleplaying Game Sites and Forums
• Roleplaying Game Blogs

I will be adding to these pages periodically. I am going through my RSS feed, my bookmarks, and assorted links I have saved over the past several years. Having everything organized and in one place will be a big help for me, and by sharing everything with the public I hope to introduce people to new games, sites, and blogs that they might otherwise have missed.

Please stop by and take a look at what I have so far. If you have any suggestions for links to add, please let me know.

Thanks!
