Hi!
I'm Connor SB, and I am one of the many people who post NPC stats in this forum.
Iron Sheep, another monster afficiando (sp), figured out how to build a table of contents for his monster thread, sorted by CR and type of monster (generic vs. unique monsters, good vs. evil monsters, etc). Basically, the upgraded boards let you make a link to a single specific post from any thread (and it won't just scroll the thread down, it will actually load just that post).
Here's an example of such a link:
Giant Slime Rat (CR 2)
and here is how it is coded: (replacing {'s with the appropriate ['s)
{URL=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1298982&postcount=17} Giant Slime Rat{/URL} (CR 2)
It was suggested somewhere in either Blackdirge's, Iron Sheep's, or my own thread, but the idea I (we?) have is to build a sort of unified table of contents for the Rogues Gallery, sorted by CR and type, and stickied to the top of the page.
The current idea for implimentation is to have a communual user account, "MonsterHerder" or somesuch, which actually controls the four or five posts that contain the Table, but whose password is known only by those who volunteer to sort/edit/update the table.
People would post to the sticky thread the additions they wanted (after updating thier own threads), and the MonsterHerder would update the master list.
When neccessary, the MonsterHerder would get a mod to do some "housecleaning," clearing the thread of people's suggested updates/comments/etc.
Comments? Questions? Volunteers?
