Fishy dahrling <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> you don't need to be PM to add it to your 'favorites' here on TORC. I'm sure with whatever web-browser you're using you have an option to bookmark your favorites <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0> I have a folder in my browser web-favorites marked TORC - and in there I log my bookmarks. Just a tip. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> and Braga: actually, it was the Rohirrim part of me that started all this <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0> Have fun with those links <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

I'm glad I happened to check out some of the links in this thread. I was able to use some of the materials for the Gathering of the Keepers: horse color and gaits and martial arts. I like the Encyclopedia of Arda. I find it one of the best sources.

this thread is so incredibly cool. It had a lot of rescources that are helping me right my story, too <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Pip

I agree, Shieldmaiden_pippin. I just recently started with formal RP, and I keep coming back to this thread for help. Alandriel is a good RPer, and so are the others here.

That's a good one, Jae.

Updated ** Thanks Jae <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> that one is quite interesting <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

I find this on useful, but can't find it in this thread: <a href='http://www.barrowdowns.com/middleearthname.asp?Size=' target=_blank>Barrow-Downs Middle-Earth Name Generator</a>

Updated. Thanks Fishy. I've added it although I personally think it's rather 'random' - but some folks might find it interesting... it certainly is quite amusing <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Also added a new link to an Anglo-Saxon online dictionary (under Langage). The Rohirrim will be pleased I trust <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0> It's still in the works and so far they cover just letter *A* I believe but let's hope it will grow and grow <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

Updated. Thank you very much Jae ... oh! And Happy Birthday one more time <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

Alandriel, I found this site with a made <a href='http://www.lugburz.com/files/gate.html' target=_blank>English-Black Speech dictionary</a> a couple of weeks ago. You've got to type on "site map" and then "e-bs, black speech dic" Well I thought we could do with some evil sites here<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-devil.gif"border=0>. Hope this can help too. And thanks for these wonderful links. Oh And Jae, Happy Bday again<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

by **Alandriel** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 1:37 pm

Updated! Thanks Eari, that was a most interesting addtion. Well spotted <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> ... also added some more other goodies <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

by **Alandriel** » Tue Mar 02, 2004 11:21 am

.. and another update. Amongst some others, an especially nice link to an online Sindarin dictionary. Enjoy! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

Here are some maps i found in 3D style. you can see the surroundings very well. <a href='http://www.igstab.com/minsk/me3/maps_livada.shtml' target=_blank>3D maps</a>

I've got one that's not so much helpful to RPers but just anyone looking for a rather lovely, AFFORDABLE <a href='http://www.4seating.com' target=_blank>sword</a>. And no, they're not cruddy rip-offs. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0> Cheers to my brother (Taurnil) for finding it for me! Just click on 'LOTR swords' on the menu on the left hand side. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> And thank you to anyone who posted links to maps! I'm hopeless when it comes to ME geography <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-rolleyes.gif"border=0>

by **Alandriel** » Mon Mar 08, 2004 4:09 am

Thanks Jae <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> although I know that Dindraug will cringe <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>, they're quite nice as a visual <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Anadriewen: thanks, but I don't add 'commercial' links in here; only pure info stuff <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

This is wondeful, Alandriel. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> One of the pages I tried seems to not be working, though. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif"border=0> It's the first one under 'Medicine', the page was probably taken out (or geocities is just acting up, as usual <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-rolleyes.gif"border=0>). I'll leave it to your judgement if you consider this add-worthy. It has a list of herbs as known in the 19th century, with dosage, effects, dangers and descriptions. It's not medieval, but it can come in handy at times, at least to me. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> <a href='http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/comindx.html' target=_blank>http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/comindx.html</a>

Thanks Anya <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> for reporting the non-functioning link and your more than worthy addition. For the time being I'll keep that link still listed. Geocities is indeed very temperamental as I oh so well know <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-rolleyes.gif"border=0>; with a bit of luck, the site-owner will correct whatever problem there is there, for it had some good info in it.

Just wanted to give you a heads up that the webmaster of the LOTR maps site changed his site around. It has a much nicer layout now (in my opinion) and I just thought I'd let you know! As it is, in my opinion, probably one of the best links in all the RP resources. Anyway, here's the site now: <a href='http://lotrmaps.middle-earth.us/' target=_blank>Maps of Middle Earth</a>

by **Alandriel** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 2:39 pm

Thank you LadyElessar <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> the link's been updated, and as you say, this one truly is invaluable <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

by **Alandriel** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 4:04 am

More updates and additions. I've also somewhat 'reorganized' things <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

by **Alandriel** » Wed Apr 21, 2004 3:43 am

a few more language updates and a wee bumpedy-bump <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

by **Alandriel** » Sun May 09, 2004 6:56 am

Links updated and fixed

by **Alandriel** » Sun Jun 13, 2004 2:10 am

Bringing this back a bit. Some folks have asked me for maps

by **Falathiel** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 2:20 pm

Just a bump and a wish this thread could be made a sticky.

Maybe I should ask the fairy admin with the magic wand to grant a wish for me, what do you think?

IE, oh helpful and ubiquitous one, are you listening?

And while I am at it (bumping with reason!), here is a cool site for astronomy info. Not sure if this is on page one already. Anyway, the Astronomy picture of the day is always awesome and might come in handy sometime for RP purposes.

Thank you to everyone who contributes their findings here and especially to the ever-charming flaming-haired one!!

(((hugs))) to Alandriel :D

by **Alandriel** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 12:20 pm

Thank you, lovely Lady Fala. I've added it - for those stargazers out there :wink:

Sticky? I don't know lol.. I did ask sometime back but I think there are more important priorities at hand. Add it to your favorites in your browser :wink:

that way you can always find it again (or click on the link in my sig)

HELP! I have a broken link it seems for How to create a good character thread and more ?? wrong thread – does anybody have the correct link??

I guess I should share this gem.

The Weald and Downland Museum.

It gives a rather delightful insight into the appearance of a variety of mediaeval and later agricultural and domestic buildings. Even if you're European and used to seeing this kind of thing it's still a valuable reference.
