[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4654899, member: 46559"] sblocks in the wiki... well, see [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Collapsible_tables"]here[/URL] and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NavFrame"]here[/URL] for some things to try, but a) I don't know if those work in ENWorld's wiki, and b) I'm not sure it's a terribly good idea. I feel like it would be better to have it all in the open. Maybe that's just a personal preference, though; what do you guys think? Regarding the notes I have on places and organizations and such... I think most of it doesn't belong to anyone in particular, it's just things that came up in the course of an adventure. The only NPC in either Hoofchew or Closed Eye that isn't public, that I can think of, is Doddoddod. Here's a copy/paste of excerpts of my notes from Closed Eye, just for an idea: [B]People and organizations: [/B] [list] [*] the L'irkash family. Is a family involved in shipping. They have been successful, to the point that it's said that a ship flying the L'irkash flag is lucky. But the rumor in the Screamer that their wedding rituals involve human sacrifice is causing them real problems, and they're losing market share and social standing in Daunton. [*] the Glasston family. One of Daunton's founding families. Old, rich, wealthy, influential. Don't mix with the commoners much. [*] Yarg. A priest and arcane researcher with an interest in forbidden knowledge. Deceased? Though he himself was not evil, he wrote very clear, detailed books explaining the darker side of certain arcane subjects, which in the wrong hands are easily abused.

[/list] It seems like this sort of information would be of general interest. What I'd like to avoid is having to do a lot of work to put those in the wiki, reformatting and whatnot. [/QUOTE]
