Resources for Flintlock/Gunpowder Fantasy

Writing Historical Epic Fantasy? 


It's one thing to write about how to do research, but it's hard enough to build a research library of your own while writing! Here are some resources I've been using. They're split into two camps: actual research and fiction.

Naturally, you will tailor your research to your world.

The links below use affiliate links, and if you are uncomfortable clicking on them be sure to check out this same Flintlock Fantasy list on Goodreads!

As I continue to do research I'll update this list and keep it pinned to the sidebar for reference.

No offense, Cersei.
