[QUOTE="Iron Sheep, post: 1426134, member: 4965"] I think something like this would be very nice to see, and it probably wouldn't take too long to add each NPC to the list. Since this is a low-volume board, it updates could probably be done roughly weekly, and if there's a list of threads that are being catalogued, it shouldn't be too hard to keep track of what's been added during that week. The hardest thing would be the initial set-up to list what we already have on the boards. Another option would be to have a thread like they have in the Playing the Game forum: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32486]The Divine Records of Exalted Deeds and Vile Darkness[/url] where individual GMs can post collected links to all their play by post threads. With this form of thread, each person with a monster/NPC thread could have a post where they could keep an up to date menu. I'd prefer a unified index sorted by in-game role and CR, though, since that'd be more useful to readers with a specific need. I also think that it should be clear that this thread probably shouldn't link to threads of PCs from play by post games. One more idea to throw out there: perhaps there could be a separate sticky thread where people could make requests for custom monsters. I know that both Blackdirge and ConnorSB do requests, and there have been a few other separate threads (Morrus' being the most notable) asking for suggestions or monster designs. Finally, this thread maybe should be in the Meta forum? Corran [/QUOTE]
