A useful link for scenarios set in...

[Doc Martin]

The subject says it all really - post a link to a website with plans, images, useful historical/cultural details etc.

I'll start with Stygia:

The 'Temple Plans' pages in particular.

While I am at it, any of you running campaigns in Shem, Turan and Hyrkania might find the following useful:

http://www.turkishhan.org/homebase.htm (scroll down the page for each site for a floor plan)

http://depts.washington.edu/silkroad/texts/texts.html (translated historic texts - rather dry but with some good details and flavour)

And of course:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravanserai (and it's links)

Surely I'm not the only person using web sources for information ? Don't hoard all the goodies to yourselves!

You would not believe how useful the web is for research for all kinds of stuff. The problem with wiki is that whilst I might start looking for a public domain picture of a WW2 warship I might end up on a page describing the rise and fall of some 12th century bishop...

The books I am working on (two for Slaine, one for Lhankhmar) as my own projects rely on using all sorts of web resources, I would share but that might ruin the surprise for anyone who wants to read them.

As for Conan, if I ever get an idea that I consider good enough to write something for I would be on the web in an instant. Sadly the inspiration has never been felt...

Go to the 'Atlas of the Valley of the Kings' and select 'Maps and Plans' - you will not be disappointed.
