Community Websites
Haus of Shogo
A fan website created by A.T. Hun that contains content such as walkthroughs and other Shogo help. It is advertised as the oldest Shogo fan site ever (since December of 1998) and it is also a good resource for GNU/Linux Shogo player's due to the creator's experiences with that operating system and the game. In late 2009 the site appears to have come down.

Planet Shogo
See Also: Planet Blood
A now defunct community website (also called PlanetShogo) that was requested to be created by Monolith Productions. It hosts many fan works such as game modifications and fan art, and even today is a useful resource for Shogo. It also hosted community forum, a mailbag, editorials, and interviews. The site was taken down in the early summer of 2009, replaced with a redirect to RPG Planet.

ShogoMAD.com
A much newer website that hosts Shogo texts and Shogo fan works, it also archives some hosted material from Planet Shogo. It is hosted by the Xtreme Gaming Network (XGN) and was created in 2002. It also hosts a rather populated community forum. For a time in late 2008 and early 2009 the site was down, this has happened again a year later.

A website ring of various Shogo sites that lists and keeps track of the various fan sites.

On the offical Shogo website Monolith also hosted a web ring, sometimes called the "old" ring compared to the "new" one.

In a similar vein, there is an Open Directory Project section for Shogo.

Fan Art/Pic of the Day
There was a section on Planet Shogo by DooBall that hosted any submitted fan art. There are fan drawings of characters, MCAs, and even a page from a manga project that was never completed. There are also various Shogo wallpapers. The "Pic[ture] of the Day" section, also by DooBall was more general, containing everything from fan art, to humourous screen shots. There was also short continuation of this on ShogoMAD.com. More fan art has been created since then, many of which uploaded to deviantART. In March of 2009 Graham Wilson started collecting what images from the Planet Shogo Pic of the Day were still up and all of the comments into an archive for the Shogo Sub-Section. The destruction of Planet Shogo in the early summer of 2009 stopped his efforts from being fully completed but the collection goes back to at least October 1998. The archive was finally polished off and released on December 18, 2009. The fan art was uploaded as part of the same effort as uploading the Blood fan art.

The Expanded Canon
A collection of Shogo fan fiction written in 2008 and 2009, following the "Option 2 Selection 1" path for all events set after Mobile Armour Division. The collection includes five stories with The Aftermath being the longest. The Expanded Canon also has an "Alternate Universe" collection designed for cross-overs (to not mingle them with the other fiction), currently there are two, both of which are crossovers into the Blood universe. The stories (except so far for the "Alternate Universe" collection) have versions which are released under the GNU Free Documentation License and have all outside intellectual property replaced. The website is also keen to help publish other Shogo fan fiction say someone submit it to them. It also re-hosts the old 1999 story The Fall of Gabriel by Ron "eclip5e" Adams that follows the other possible Shogo path and a 2003 novelization of the beginning of Shogo posted by CyHunter on the ShogoMAD.com forums (also including a short novelization of the first level of Shogo by the founder of The Expanded Canon). Due to problems with the host, the site is currently down. The moderator is working to correct this.
