Reformatted some of the pages with tables. Added this Name Derivations page, part one of an inspirations page I'll later add. In regard to the terrain article on the Wizards site, I gotta reply "Well yeah, numbtard, I've known that for years. What I've learned is that it doesn't matter how much attention you put into terrain, the players largely ignore it. At best furniture is a cover bonus and at its worst, an immovable obstacle. "Darn chair. Gotta go around." It's not a design thing, but a player thing. If a player doesn't think the Z-axis is an option, it never is... for them. Perhaps this is on account that there's no advantage in facing a larger opponent from higher up (I like how it was put in DMotR). For instance, if there's a high place, Zhau-Tang will nearly always get up on it and everyone else will always ignore it, and I don't expect it to change.

Discovered tags. Look for them at the bottom of the pages. Right now they're only implemented on the deity pages where they're great for organizing them by their qualities, like race or alignment. Also added this Ebonthorn dude, the greedy tyrrant based on the theoretical love-child of Prince John (the lion) and Lord Blackthorn from Ultima... and maybe Cruella DeVil... I never watched those movies. WOMP-WOW! (Jay & SB high five each other)

Wizard's made an amusing movie about the beholder. Yeah, apparently it does petrification damage much like the paralysis damage I heard about elsewhere. You get so many points and eventually you save or die/whatever. I'm not really behind this. It's not like death/petrification is permanent. Feels like another patch to appease the forum whiners. General GM principle: Be Fair! If the players can't afford a res or stn-2-fsh, don't use those monsters! When they are equipped to handle those foes, they can eat it! Situation in which this should be implemented: NWN. In that, there were no opportunities to get these from your loyal party members, you were just dead. Yep, game designers have still got to learn what works at the table doesn't work on the PC... and vice versa.

Just on a lark, I uploaded my log from the d20 Modern Campaign. Thought it might be interesting for you.
