The Golden Circle is a ring of web sites that are related to Roger Zelazny's world of Amber in some way; literary sites, gaming sites, locations - in Amber, Chaos, or inbetween - are all welcome to join the ring. If it's got a connection to Zelazny's Amber, then it's fair game for this webring. Sign up now!
By following the links from one Golden Circle page to the next you will come across many Amber related web sites that you never knew existed, and I hope, enjoy yourself in the process. If the links are followed far enough, you will find yourself back at the link that you started from.
As well as browsing the links one by one, you may instead get a list of five web pages from The Golden Circle, for instance, or even have one chosen at random.

Amberzine XII - Call for Stories ** "Amber was the greatest city which had ever existed or ever would exist. Amber had always been and always would be, and every other city, everywhere, every other city that existed was but a reflection of a shadow of some phase of Amber." (Corwin in Roger Zelazny's _Nine Princes in Amber_) Some of those reflections are the games that we're playing, the stories that we're sharing, some of which we end up writing down. The best of those stories are collected in Amberzine: http://www.phagepress.com/amberzines.shtml Amberzine exists thanks to Roger Zelazny's generosity in letting his fans -- readers and gamers -- share their visions of his work. It exists thanks to those talented fans who transform tabletop tales shared with friends into ones that can be read and enjoyed by every Amber lover. We need more such tales. Michael Kucharski (www.trumpstudio.com), the original Amber DRPG illustrator, is the editor for Amberzine XII. (You can believe it'll look good!) He left me (Pierre-Alexandre Sicart) in charge of collecting texts and making a pre-selection. Do you have Amber stories that beg to extend beyond the borders of your gaming table? Can you write those stories so that anyone can enjoy them, or at least anyone familiar with Amber? If yes, send them my way: brand @ lifnet . org Length: between 20,000 and 60,000 characters, spaces included. All texts must be the property of the person presenting them; moreover, they mustn't have been published already, including on a webpage. The deadline is June 1, 2004, at which time Michael will select the best submissions among those I'll have forwarded. If there aren't enough he wishes to publish, the call for stories shall be extended. |

Aug 23, 2002 - No news
to report, other than letting people know I'm still here and the Golden Circle
is still running! Sometime soon I plan to go around the circle and weed out any
sites that have gone 404 since I last checked the ring. |

Jan 2, 2002 - Happy New
Year! Yes, I'm still here and so's the Golden Circle, even though I've found it
a bit too hectic to keep up the choice of featured pages even though there are
plenty of candidates out there. The main reason for this update is to
incorporate the logo for the Good Stuff award that this site has been recently
awarded. |
