Woot, I got a lot of places for this.

Character building and Writing

Writing, Roleplaying, & Worldbuilding - There's a lot of useful articles on this site, even some plot generators if you're ever at a loss for a plot or a starter or something. Also character development questions.

The One Liner Myth - This is a useful perspective for those who worry about their post length.


Fun comebacks and pickup lines

100 Mutant Pickup Lines - This is fun
Shakespearean Insulter - In case you want to get fancy


Sensitive topics - Trigger: do not click if you are particularly sensitive to these topics. They are very real and very thought provoking, and can be very hard to read.

Urban Dictionary - I like this site whenever I'm trying to think of snappy comebacks

The Racial Slur Database - For people who play bigots

The Psychology of Adoption Trauma - This was an interesting article to read

Light's House - support for adult children of abusive and toxic parents - I know some like to include sensitive topics like abuse in their histories. This gives some useful insight to how it affects them as adults. I go here a lot.

Random Thing To Be Doing Generator

This website's good if you're out of ideas for your character to be doing. These seem to be more prank based and random, so if your character might fit into that catergory, then this is the site for you!

Some fun laws about Vermont: (To be edited if I think of anything else that might effect people's lives in general)

Almost any kind of knife is legal to carry, concealed or unconcealed, as long as it's not a switch blade longer than 3 inches and as long as it's not on school or government property.

You don't need a permit to buy, own or carry almost any kind of gun including machine guns. The only real restriction is you're not allowed to bring guns on government property.
