Just in case you may not be aware, RoleCraft isn’t the only place where you can find roleplaying related info on the interwebs. Of course you know that, and I’m only joking. During the course of my day, I am given and locating sites which are directly related to or merely referencing some aspect of roleplaying, and I consider it part of my duty to help keep you, my fellow roleplayers, informed as much as possible.
I’ve joyously had my grubby hands playing a single game over the last week, which kept my braincells otherwise occupied, not that that’s difficult to do. Thankfully, there’s the Internet, and since the Link Farming 1 article, I’ve found a few more worthy RP and related websites that I wish to share. As always, if you have any RP items you’d like to share, any upcoming RP event in your favorite MMORPG you’d like to advertise, or any comments and suggestions about RP, just jot them down in the Comments section here, or send them direct to me at RoleCraft at gmail dot com. Role on!
“Dungeon Master Tips and Role-Playing Advice”
I created RoleplayingTips.Com to help improve my own game mastering and roleplaying skills by sharing my roleplaying tips and tricks through my newsletter and then asking for feedback from avid roleplayers like yourself. In the future I will be adding new roleplaying tools and resources that I find personally useful and will hopefully help you too. In the mean time, please subscribe to my Roleplaying Tips newsletter and let me know what you think.
Cheers,

Behind the Name
“the etymology and history of first names”
One of the perks of creating fantasy stories — whether by writing a story or game or by role-playing — is you get to make up the names. Some people relish the task while others are frustrated by it. Some like it but can’t seem to create names that are diverse enough. Fantasy Name Generator is a tool that can help you. It can generate an endless number of random names (of people, places, or anything) that would be suitable for use in a fantasy setting. It can generate names on its own, or you can tell it what kind of name you’re looking for. Feel free to use this tool and any name that comes out of it (assuming it doesn’t accidentally generate a legally protected trademark or something).
Although this could not possibly represent all the possible names for a race as old and diverse as the elves, this list can serve as a starting point and quick reference to create a large and consistent list of names.
Newbie’s Guide to Roleplay – AmiaWiki
When you were young one of the games you played may have been “let’s pretend” where you would assume the character of a film or television program etc. Roleplaying is the natural extension of that childhood game. Each Roleplay system has a set of guidelines of what should happen in certain events. These systems explain how magic works (if applicable) and how to simulate combat, illness and other skills.
