THE GREAT GM RESOURCE THREAD

If you can find a Gazetteer for any published campaign world, read it!
It is such a great tool for learning about the culture, history and attitudes of a world or region.

GURPS.
Not even if I'm runnign it. GURPS splats are some of the best "how to GM THIS" books you will ever read. Ignore the rules and read the sidebars and the rest of the book, and you'll get more good advice on running a game than anything other than pure experience can give you.
Adrian Lewis
Special honorary mention to GURPS Mysteries.
Lucas Adams
I am gonna be that asshole that just posts a youtube link
youtube.com
Why?
Because the Thief soundtrack is one of the best I have ever used for D&D. The tracks helped me make the dungeons seem like actually creepy places and not just arenas to kill monsters.
Christopher Evans
This gay "recommend GURPS for everything" meme has really sunk pretty low at this point.
GURPS doesn't do anything right. It's like someone was specifically trying to make a game that systematically did everything wrong. The only way to use it is try and ignore it as much as possible, which makes it like some sort of gay freeform until a rules dispute makes you pull up some of the most garbled and senseless text vomit that anyone has yet tried to call rulebooks.
I get the whole "it's Veeky Forums's Boku no Pico" joke, but the difference is that with Boku no Pico you immediately understand that it isn't what you were looking for, but with GURPS you have to waste some time reading or god forbid playing that awful system before you realize you've been tricked into playing crystallized crap.
Tyler Brown
But can you suggest anything better?
Wyatt Lewis
If anything on this board has sunken low it's the whole "Anything I don't like is a meme" thing.
Jayden Wilson
>gurpsfag is also the guy forcing the "playing gurps can fix your non-system-related problems!" meme
What a surprise.
Aiden Parker
No one in this thread has told anyone to play GURPS.
Thomas Sullivan
So, have you ever wondered "Wait shit how did these things actually work during medieval times" during campaign prep? There is a solution (1/2)
Thomas Brooks
>I'm going to completely ignore the part that says 'use these as reference books and guides to GMing rather than play ing GURPS" and complain about something entirely irrelevant to the statements you made.
Maybe you should actually read what was written instead of spouting memetic nonsense?

You're implying that advice isn't presented a hundred times better in a hundred other books.
GURPS does a great job at living up to its name. It's advice is generic to the point of being banal, and worth far less than the effort of reading it.
Blake Stewart
Wow, you know of better resources? Why don't you post them?
Jaxon Murphy
Saw this link in one of these style threads
It's got everything you'd ever need, and you can convert most anything listed into D&D 3.5 easily.
Leo Butler
For a more OSR SRD, check out d20swsrd.com
And for advice, ideas, and house rules, there's campaignwiki.org
Caleb Allen
Looks good, thanks

Brandon Richardson
Pretty gud. Thanks.
This is an interesting little thing. It list hundreds of names from many cultures
With their meanings.
It's nothing scientific or anything, but I used it in Fading Suns (imagine a more multicultural Dune sort of thing) and it was really handy.
Parker Cook
>Says something is bad and does things wrong
>Doesn't say why it's bad or what specifically it does wrong
Opinion discarded, try again.
Elijah Hernandez
This is pretty great, gonna use this in the future both as player and GM.
Bentley Garcia
It really, really isn't.
Isaac Peterson
You're fucking retarded. I hate GURPS as much as the next guy, but it has a ton of info on accurate worldbuilding, if you care about that. You don't like people recommending it everywhere doesn't mean it does everything wrong, you massive autist.
Liam Williams
>but it has a ton of info on accurate worldbuilding
But even more innaccurate bullslop, making any attempt to use it a chore.
Daniel Robinson
donjon.bin.sh is one of the best random-generator resources for millions of things. All editions of D&D plus some OSR retroclones too.
Matthew Smith
Your meme is old, tired and wrong. Just give up and go bother the editionwar fags.
Jaxson Phillips
Does anyone have a resource for creating magical artifacts? I need to randomly generate a few chaos relics for some tests of faith in my only war campaign.
Dylan Allen

Benjamin Murphy
All I've got is this screen cap.
Dylan Rodriguez
Anyone have that pdf about economics? It talked about costs to farm and make bread.
Sebastian Walker
this?
John Thomas
or this?
Charles Williams
This one. Thank you for both.
