BrikWars in its current state would never have been possible without
the generous help and support of dozens of fans, well-wishers,
and unwitting 'contributors.' Here's a few of the big ones.

The
BrikWars Frappr!™
Map
If you're looking for in-depth resources
and serious and reasoned discussions, keep scrolling down
- there's some pretty amazing sites available to the brick
connoisseur. The BrikWars Frappr! Map isn't one of them.
The conversation level is juvenile, anonymous trolls run
rampant in the chatroom, and thread topics are abused
and ignored like a cellar full of Dimmies. It's a pretty
fun place if you don't mind total chaos.
The important feature of a Frappr! map, of course,
is that you can plunk down a map pin and see what other
BrikWarriors are in your area - handy for organizing
games (or, theoretically, for attracting internet pedophiles
who don't realize the average BrikWars player is in
his thirties). But it also has a pretty good support
system of newsgroups, chatrooms, and social-networking
functions as well, and of all the BrikWars forums for
discussion it's always the most active.

We understand that The LEGO® Company has some kind of websites
of its own, but why bother with that corporate claptrap when
all the good stuff is coming straight from the fans?

Lehman and Suzanne Rich
LUGNET™
This is the king of all brick enthusiast
websites, the LEGO® Users' Group Network™.
Any LEGO®-related internet resource you could want
is either available here or they can show you where
to find it.
The most important part of the site (as far as we're
concerned) are the extensive newsgroups, which BrikWars
fans can use to organize games or discuss rules proposals.
You don't have to be a member to participate in the
groups, although members do get to skip the email-verification
step when posting messages.

The Peeron Inventory
This massive inventory is a catalogue

Sadly, Militarygaming.com seems to have fallen by the wayside,
overshadowed by the video-game-centric Wargamer.com. But
there's still plenty of wargaming resources available for those
as are willing to google for them. Here's some we enjoy.

 Dave
Eaton
BrikWars Troop Scorer
Dave Eaton put together a web-enabled
BrikWars Troop Scoring utility using the BrikWars 2000
ruleset. He also put together this fine Imperial
ATAT, which is far more inspiring in its own way.
I mean, when was the last time you saw a troop scoring
utility overrun the rebel base on Hoth.

TROGDOR the BURNINATOR!
Trogdor was a man. I mean, he
was a dragon man. Or maybe he was just a dragon.
But he was still TROGDOOOOORR! TROGDOOOOORR!
Burninating the countryside, burninating the peasants.
Burninating all the people, in the thatched roof COTTAGEEEESSSSS!
Thatched roof COTTAGEEEEESSS!
And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIGHT!

The Brick Testament
BrikWars is all about murder, mayhem,
mindless destruction and vicious sadism. But that's
nothing compared to what you'll find in the average
Bible.

How to Kill a Mockingbird
This book report is the standard to
which all BrikWars games should be held.

 Tom
Bearden
Scalar Wars
Nikola Tesla basically invented the
20th century, but all information on the man and his
work was classified by the government after he made
claims of having developed unstoppable superweapons.
As such, the credit for inventing the radio, the semiconductor,
remote-controlled vehicles, and a host of other cool
gadgets went to later engineers.
What were these superweapons? Tom Bearden claims
to know, and crackpots everywhere believe him and are
freaking out.

Russian's Saryshagan Howitzer site, which Bearden claims
is a huge Tesla Scalar Interferometer.
