Eposic: Links to various RPG and Speculative Fiction sites
Below are links to a few sites to which I've chosen to link. Some of these links are here because they link to Eposic, and I'm reciprocating. If your site is related to games or fiction in some way and you'd like to exchange reciprocal links, contact me at the email address shown in the left margin. I'm quite particular about the sites to which I link on this page, and I reserve the right to refuse to exchange reciprocal links for any reason, or to remove a link from this page for any reason, but especially if you agreed to post a reciprocal link but I can't find it on your site through a Google search.

The Fables of Ealdræd: Allegorical sword and sorcery fantasies to entertain and to challenge beliefs and values. Download these stories as PDF text files or as Audio MP3 readings. Listen to the free sound file samples to get a taste of how these tales compare to traditional sword & sorcery fiction. WARNING: FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.
Ken St. Andre's Trollhalla: Ken St. Andre's site devoted to the Tunnels and Trolls gaming community. Membership is free, though donations are welcome. Ken runs some neat contests and gives away prizes from his 'treasure vault'. His prizes include books, games, and toys that he has collected over the years and has decided to part with. Trollhalla members earn TVP (Trollish Victory Points) which are spent to build up character attributes, just as in the Tunnels and Trolls game, and these attributes can then be used for characters in the UGH Monster Attacks! game right here on the Eposic site.
Peryton Publishing: Publisher of a variety of RPG materials including T&T and d20-compatible game rules and supplements and ficiton. They aren't afraid to explore any genre, it seems. They are the publishers of Troll Tunnels, a sword and sorcery anthology which includes three short stories written by yours truly. They also have an open forum for all kinds of RPG and fiction goodness.
The Perilous Plains: An online Interactive Game Book adventure, like a "Tunnels and Trolls" or "Fighting Fantasy" solo adventure book but available as a web page instead of as a printed book. Sports a "cheat sheet" that is cool to look at even if you don't use it during the game. The game is not fully automated, allowing you to "cheat" if it is more fun to do so. It does provide online virtual dice—using the Eposic open source dice roller code!
Malinche Entertainment: Interactive Fiction is the Next Dimension in Fiction. Much more than text adventure games, you can enjoy crime fiction, science fiction, horror fiction, or a techno thriller and take your enjoyment of fiction books to the next level.
Ralan's SpecFic and Humor Webstravaganza: If you're a writer or inspire to be one, check out Ralan.com for market listings.
DriveThruRPG: Inexpensive, electronic versions of games, comics, and fiction. Their games include:
Flying Buffalo, Inc.: Original publishers of the Tunnels and Trolls game. Order Tunnels and Trolls here. They also do PBM games, and they allow you to send in turns by e-mail, too. Any one who claims to be a gamer should play StarWeb at least once.
The
Hobgoblin's Tavern: Your mug's never empty at this
well-done UK site dedicated to Tunnels and Trolls.
www.JFreels.com
is the website of a storyteller who works thru prose and visual imagery.
Gristlegrim Dungeon: Free roleplaying game resource for Tunnels & Trolls. An ongoing project maintained by Andy James, aka Dekhurrrsio the Goblin, as he's known on Trollhalla. The rooms of the dungeon, as I understand it, are written by Ken St. Andre, the creator of the Tunnels and Trolls game. Eposic is proud to host Gristlegrim.com on the Eposic server.
Dandelion Studios: Featuring Zephyr & Reginald: Minions For Hire. Plus other comics, fiction, magazines, and articles with a science fiction or fantasy bent. Brought to you by Gynn Stella and Rick Silva.
RPTools: If you have the appropriate version of Java installed on your computer, give these Java tools a try. The niftiest tool on the site is the map tool, which allows you to create, modify, and share maps over the internet in real time.
RealNPC Generator: A very cool JavaScript generator originally based on Eposic code. Please take a look at it; it's author has spent a lot of time and thought on it, and it shows.
Grey Ghost Press, Inc.: Home of Fudge and Other Great Role-Playing Game Stuff!
Errant Dreams: Resources for Roleplayers and Writers
Seventh Sanctum: A site of generators to randomly produce concepts, characters, and descriptions for stories, role-playing games, and art. Have fun or combat creative block. This site has a ton of generators! Very cool.
Black Flower Music: Not a gaming or fiction site. It's a site belonging to Andrew Eidson, my son! Andrew would love you to pay him a visit. You can even find some music there that I created using an Amiga computer and a MIDI keyboard many years ago.
Andrew has created his own digital albums, using all sorts of electronic equipment. If you like electronic music, synthesizers, and/or noise, check out his digital albums. And if you're more into roleplaying, check out this original mp3, called Of Dice and Dungeon. It's a riot that any rpg gamer should appreciate, even if it is geared primarily to D&D.
