Montreal Timeline

There's a great timeline of the city of Montreal, prepared by the MtlBlog . Covering the last 500 years history of the city. Very useful to get an idea of what else is going on whilst running a game here in this city, complete with Wikipedia links on many of the entries. All in time for the city's 375th anniversary. I for one will be going back to this resource, maybe I'll even steal it and add to it with more mythos/gameable events.

American History Too

I would very much like to draw your attention to American History Too , a thirty minute podcast, coming very much from an academic stand point, being of direct use to students studying history at University, particularly Edinburgh University, but of course, learning and discussion are by no means the preserve of mere students, some may even say they're even wasted on students. As a further gaming link, as if one was needed, you may have heard of one of the podcasters before in gaming circles. Dr Malcolm Craig, is a real renaissance man, as he is also the Writer/Creator of both Cold City and Hot War , two excellent indie mythos RPGs  that I can thoroughly recommend to readers of this blog (if they don't already know about them that is). One criticism I would make, they need to work on their logo, but hey, I'll let them off since they're just setting out. Go check them out, they now have a whole two episodes for you to listen to.
