<h3>Fan Blogs and Sites</h3>
<p>These are sites which are updated by only one person.  The Xaeyruudh Campaign &mdash;the site you&#8217;re on right now&mdash; fits in this category.</p>
<h4>The Dungeon Dozen</h4>
<p><a href="http://roll1d12.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Random tables</a> for a whole bunch of stuff you probably wouldn&#8217;t come up with on your own.  All you need is a d12!</p>
<h4>Dungeon&#8217;s Master</h4>
<p><a href="http://dungeonsmaster.com/" target="_blank">A blog</a> which seems to be mostly reviews of D&amp;D Encounters.  Looks insightful and smart.</p>
<h4>Forgotten Realms Helps</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.realmshelps.org/" target="_blank">Realmshelps</a> looks like a big place.  Tons of things to check out here.</p>
<h4>History of the Forgotten Realms</h4>
<p><a href="http://dnd.eizzn.com" target="_blank">History</a> &mdash; lots of it.</p>
<h4>Living Forgotten Realms</h4>
<p>I don&#8217;t really know yet what to make of <a href="http://www.livingforgottenrealms.com/index.html" target="_blank">LFR</a>, or how useful it will be.  Time (and remembering to check it out some day) will tell.</p>
<h4>Thunderstone Campaign</h4>
<p>A <a href="http://thunderstonecampaign.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Cormyr campaign</a> led by Damian/crazedventurers</p>
<h4>Tym&#8217;s Monstrous Book</h4>
<p><a href="http://members.tripod.com/sir_talion/book.html" target="_blank">Tym&#8217;s list</a> is my next target after I finish going through the WotC list of monsters.</p>
<hr>
<h3>Forums and other Communities</h3>
<p>These are distinguished from fan sites by having multiple contributors and being open for public participation.</p>
<h4>Candlekeep</h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://forum.candlekeep.com/active.asp" target="_blank">Active since your last logon</a></li>
<li><a href="http://forum.candlekeep.com/" target="_blank">All Forums</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.candlekeep.com/" target="_blank">Homepage</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Forgotten Realms Wiki (wikia)</h4>
<p><a href="http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">The FR Wiki</a> is a frequently useful source, but it&#8217;s focused on paraphrasing and summarizing rather than simply referencing the lore.  Many source citations are present, which is good.</p>
<p>The FR Wiki is, ironically, part of the inspiration for the Xaeyruudh blog.  I need a wiki-type place where I can add my own thoughts and conjectures, sources will be prioritized over regurgitating lore, I can update anything at will, and all of this can happen without vandalism from lazy people who just copy/paste from pdfs.</p>
<h4>RPG Blog Alliance</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.rpgba.org/index.php" target="_blank">The RPG Blog Alliance</a> wants to bring you the best in RPG blogs.</p>
