I was thinking, when you are researching things for your setting, be they names, words, gods, cultures etc., you probably use the internet for at least some of the research. But what pages do you like using, and which would you recommend to the rest of the CBG? Personally, i mostly just use Wikipedia, but it's hardly the most specialized page. For words i was recently directed to http://www.wordinfo.info/ by someone from CBG, and it seems to be pretty good if you need scientific names for something, or inspiration. Also, dictionary.com and visuwords.com can be quite useful when writing. This page: http://www.pantheon.org/ appears to be rather extensive as far as religion and mythology go. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/ is a great page for researching geography and demography.
But what do you use?

Good place for names and their meanings. Decried as inaccurate by the SCA, but good enough for general stuff.

Nice list of period terms and information. Useful for when you don't just want to call the guy a thief or a guard.

Nice to know how far off guesses are for populations, and proceed to do nothing about it.

A more editable version of the above.

Fun little tool. It's how I got five separate, aligned, and correct lunar cycles for Dilandri.

I've shown this off in the tavern I know, but it's a heraldry generator. Nice when you need alot of them quickly. Be warned, some of the combinations aren't kosher to traditional heraldry rules, and you can't put a device on them.

Wikipedia is more than enough for almost everything. As long as it's fairly accurate, that's enough - it's not like you're trying to copy things exactly to their historical/mythological realities, anyway (or are you?).

The problem is that wikipedia is relatively detail-less about some things, which is where most interesting stuff seems to branch from, at least for me.

Stargate, good links! I had a little over half already but still, its a nice group of links!

Troll: Wikipedia is indeed a great source, though in my experience it best serves as a starting point. It gives you enough information so you can search the web (or Pelor forbid, a book) for more specific/detailed information.

As Stargate said, the devil is in the details. :)

You want I should post all fifty-four links I've got in my 'DM Misc' subfolder?
