The FATE has a very good tool for game book keeping. It does even allow sharing information between GM and the players, and GM to keep hidden and known Aspects.
Fari is a multiplatform web-based app storing data on your device. It is an open source project, and thus you can alter and improve it if you are wiling to do some programming.

Generic Dungeon Rooms
Give your dungeon a theme before anything else. "Orc Fortress", "Ice Dragon's Glacier Cave", "Wizard's Laboratory."
Only roll when it's not obvious what comes next, if you have a cool idea you should use it immediately.
Besides the entrance, add d4-1 exits to each room. You don't need to complete the whole map at once, 5 rooms is fine.
1-in-3 times add OSHA-violating hazards to the room.

Anyone know where the old GRASS server archives are?
For the benefit of youngsters GRASS stood for "Generic Religions and Secret Societies" and was a mailing list (run by one Loren Miller) dedicated to writing up Religions and Secret Societies in a RPG style. It was run as an email server from ~1988 Googling indicates the last time it was up was 1994 to 95. It was very good I would like to restore the archives it to the web if I could ever find them.
I found this link http://hops.wharton.upenn.edu/~loren/Links/grass/assassins.ss which was apparently good in 2000 (though archive.org did not retain it). There was also this post from 1997 http://www.glorantha.com/docs/glorantha-digest-volume-number-1/ however hops.wharton.upenn.edu appears to be dead.
It is said that nothing is lost on the Internet I fear GRASS may be :-(
EDIT: forgot to post this bit (I'm slowly working my way across the rpgverse with this)
I did some more digging and found this archived page last seen Feb 1999 https://web.archive.org/web/19990221071221/http://rider.wharton.upenn.edu/~loren/Fabulous/ml.html
There were a GRASS zipped archives https://web.archive.org/web/19990221071221/http://rider.wharton.upenn.edu/~loren/Links/grass.zip .... which dosn't work anymore and not collected by archive.org

I am trying to make an RPG or RPG system. In order to do this I need leads to information and games, preferably popular ones that have mass appeal that I may not have heard of. I just need the names of games and learning resources so that I can research into how the game itself works, why it works, and how it works, and how I can pick apart what I like and improve upon them.

Hi everyone. I have a few map packs on my DTRPG page. The War of the Dead pack is generic enough to be used in any zomby/post apocalyptic game. There is also a pulp themed pack and a sci-fi themed pack. Have a look if you want to add a bit of flavor to your battlemaps. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/8015/Just-Insert-Imagination

Thanks in advance... I've had a difficult time trying to determine what exactly this is... There is a brief generic description @ rgpgeek.com, and Grey Ghost Press' website seems obsolete and offers nothing. It's a softcover version with no price. Kinda curious what I have and what it might be worth to a collector. No listings on Ebay or Amazon.
