Default GM RESOURCES - links to make GMing easier and better

I thought I would try to start a thread where everybody could post links or other resources that might aid/enhance GMing .

I was thinking along the lines of sound fx,image databases,maps etc

Naturally -if you are a player only you shouldnt be perusing these to much.

I know, people love pictures and color drawings but I always found blueprints to be useful. Here is a great website on them.

One on Missiles and one on aircrafts that you might know

I would suggest "Google Earth" as that is a terrific resource as a GM for my pending game.

Here you have a good link:

http://www.juniorgeneral.org/load.php?Period=0

Vehicles and soldiers ready to be printed. See the "Modern" category for T2K. You will also find useful figures in the "Top-Down" category.

If anyone has played "Command Decision" and has been forced to use paper or cardboard counters insted of plastic or metal figures, he will understand my happiness when I discovered this site.

Default Bark at the Moon

For that extra little dose of realism, this site gives you the phases of the moon for any day, any month, any year. One of my players found this for me.

http://stardate.org/nightsky/moon/in....css&Submit=Go

The link will take you to October of 2000 since that's when my campaign is set. Just type in the date you need and presto!

You can also find the time for sunrise and/or sunset for just about anywhere in the world on the same site but this feature a bit trickier to use.

BTW, good thread idea, HQ!

As for high tech weapon designs, check out this concept weapon. I believe I mentioned it once on the old forum.

I'd be surprised if nobody else knew Modern Firearms & Ammo.
Also useful for gun topics is The Box of Truth.

I've got other stuff but its not geared towards T2K.
