Links
The
following are a series of web sites that I found very useful in the
construction of this site. Some are
roleplaying sites; some are sites about Baltimore specifically. Whatever the case, each site is listed with a
description of its contents following that site's name and hyperlink.
Baltimore City's Neighborhoods: This website
goes into detail about the personality and history of each of Baltimore's major
neighborhoods. This is an immensely
useful geographic site, and can be quite interesting, especially for someone
not entirely familiar with Baltimore's geography.
The Census Bureau Homepage: The home of the
United States Census, this site was quite useful when I was working on
Baltimore by night. It helped to
determine the ethnic diversity in Baltimore and it was an irreplaceable aid in
determining the correct Kindred population of a given city.
Digital
City Baltimore: Digital City is an excellent site that goes into
detail about major landmarks in almost any major city you can think of. Its Baltimore site, like the rest of its
sites, is a tremendous resources, listing nearly every club, bar, theater,
restaurant and any other point of interest in the whole of the Baltimore Metropolitan
Area.
Kabalarian
Names: This site lists over 525,000 names, all defined and
researched and organized alphabetically and by ethnicity. This was another invaluable resource in
creating the Kindred and other inhabitants of Baltimore by Night.
Random
Name Generator: A program that I used repeatedly and one that no
Storyteller or Game Master should be without, the Random Name Generator is just
that. It comes up with both familiar
name and surnames, sorted by how frequently they are encountered.
Skyscrapers.com
Baltimore: This website is an invaluable resource listing the
tallest buildings in Baltimore (and other cities) and offering excellent
photographs of those buildings, as well as all-inclusive information about the
skyscrapers. Several of the pictures
from this site are used on the Baltimore: By Night webpage.
White Wolf Online: This is White Wolf's official
website, the granddaddy of them all. If
you haven't been here, you owe it to yourself to go. Now.
World of Darkness: Baltimore: This website was
the first 'official' White Wolf Baltimore site. It was designed by Mike Sims, and is very well done and quite
useful in developing my own version of Baltimore by Night. Although our visions do not necessarily
agree, I have to give him credit: without the creation of his site, my game
never would have taken place. (Note:
Todd doesn't want you to see this.)
