Although I've never used it personally, www.wikia.com seems like it would be a good addition to the list. I-- as well as other CBGians-- have discovered that wikis are a really great way to organize information such as settings and games. If I'm not mistaken, Vreeg even uses a part of the Celtrecia wiki for his blog.

Errrr... we have a wiki here on the site...

http://www.thecbg.org/wiki/index.php?title=CBG_Wiki

It's cleverly titled "the CBG Wiki."

If I'm not mistaken  [spoiler]I'm not[/spoiler]  there's even a link to said wiki at the top of every page on this site.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

I know, but a personal wiki like this is still very useful.

Random Name Generator.

Based off of what I'm guessing is somewhat slightly out-of-date US Census data (one or two censuses behind).

Invaluable for modern games.

My site has some online generators and a few GIMP scripts for mapping: http://axiscity.hexamon.net/users/isomage/

Vreeg- that is a very interesting site there. Have you used it to create any fonts?

And isomage, did you redo your site? It seems to look a bit different than last time you noted its existence.

I did redesign it a while back, but I haven't posted about it here before.

-That's strange. I'm certain that I've seen your random map generator posted here before.

With this post I will have made a total of three on this site, all today :)  Maybe someone else posted it, or you saw it somewhere else -- I've posted a lot on the Cartographers' Guild.

More focused on adventure design than world building, this is still a pretty useful site:

My site, rpg-tools.org, has a few tools that have been useful to me. Hopefully they'll be useful to you.

I use Freesound a lot for music but it seems like it would be less useful for gaming without A LOT of work.

Speaking of which, does anyone know any GOOD websites for riddles (riddles that aren't idiotic or impossible to solve).

As I think of it, a riddle should generally tell you everything you need to know, as long as you think about it the right way.
