While older books will give you most of the same information, many of the more recent books are more readable, and may provide a different perspective on the period than older references, particularly with regard to the role of women, minorities and other disenfranchised groups during this period. GAMESCountless other roleplaying games have covered fantasy worlds, and sourcebooks for these games can provide new ideas to bring into your Dark Ages chronicle. Pendragon , Chaosium OTHER SOURCESBear in mind that historical sources are not the only sources of inspiration for a Dark Medieval chronicle; most games will include elements of both history and fantasy, which is part of the appeal of this setting. Feel free to draw on novels, movies and music that represent your own view of the Dark Medieval period, as well as the more historical sources. By combining all these things with a healthy dose of imagination, you will be able to create a world that is entirely your own.
