Mr. Black's Where to Go on the Matrix for GM's

www.AltasObscura.com - Home to a collection of strange, cool and unusual places all over the would, Atlas Obscura can guide you to places you would never have found. A GM can just type in a city name or zip code and find about all sorts of cool real things. Using Seattle as an example, one can find out about the Fremont Troll, the Seattle Underground, and 47 other places of interest. Whether you need an old eatery or tavern that has survived, or something bizarre, you can find it here. It is a great guide for GM's not local to where they are running the game.

www.VisitSeattle.org - Mr. Black's preferred Seattle web site. Mr. Black likes the fact that it has breakdown's by neighborhood, so he can check out what is cool and happening in Everett per say. Mr. Black also finds it easier to navigate that, say, Seattle's official site.

www.SeattleArtMuseum.org - Home to Seattle's premier art museum, this site can be mined by a sharp GM for events to Date Stamp his campaign. Gallery openings and ongoing events can be swiped and wiped to fit in 2075.



Every GM needs help with naming NPC's. Here are some sites to help:

http://www.seventhsanctum.com/index.php  - This is a site full of random generators that can help with names and ideas. Mr. Black loves their Corporation and Cult generators.

http://donjon.bin.sh/ - This site is predominantly Fantasy gaming, but the Weird section has some cool things. Additionally, the Sci-fi Section may give you some ideas.

http://fantasynamegenerators.com/ - This site has loads of name, item and other generators. Go and give it a spin.

http://www.enklave-23.de/WTF/ - And this one Mr. Black just plain loves. Thanks Critias' friend!

Here are some of the various wikis. Useful at a shallow depth:

https://shadowrun.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page  The Fandom Wiki. Other than the constant barrage of ads (somehow fitting for Shadowrun) it is an excellent overview of any published topic.
