Clockpunk Blog
Fantasy, Pike and Shot, Science Fiction
Clockpunk is like Steampunk—except it’s set in the Renaissance. The science fiction sub-genre is set in a Renaissance where technology that was invented many years later comes into play. Here’s a new blog called DaVinci Automata dedicated to the genre. Plenty of ideas here—especially if you already (as many of us do) own Renaissance era figures.
I remember playing a game at a Chicago convention some years ago called DaVinci something-or-other that involved a large number of Leonardo DaVinci’s war engines. It was a lot of fun.

This site has a good history of the Thirty Years War, with lots of of information about the various phases of the war -- The Bohemian Rebellion, the Palatinate, etc.. Lots here that I never knew about. If you're interested in gaming the ThirtyYears War, there's a post here about a set of rules for the period.
