If people are looking for decent image editing software they should try GIMP. It's freeware, but very versatile. Another great language link is Google Translate, if someone wants to use an RL language as a basis for their nation's, but doesn't speak said language. |

This is the Wikipedia article on military Chain of Command, with a break down of the different groupings of soldiers (Platoon, Company, Battalion, Regiment, etc.) for anybody who is confused by such things. Chain of Command |

For those that like to design their own style of weapons and such, I suggest pimpmygun. It has parts and full builds of many different weapons, from sniper rifles to MG's and all in between that you can play with to come up with your own. For ships, I've noticed a strong preferance in line art type, and have used ideas from Shipbucket. For examples of both, look in my factbook. |

I happened across this link about play-by-post roleplaying while looking up other forum-related stuff. Could be useful. |
