[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 1862128, member: 571"] I had a look at it. For the most part I liked what I saw. I did reformat the beast and put it into PDF. I also mangled your deathless prose. (Cleaning up language, deleting extraneous verbiage, expanding on truncated prose, that sort of thing.) I do have this to say about English. English is now considered to be something of a Creole. A blend of different languages. While the core is Germanic, the grammar is unique in many ways, and the vocabulary is a stew of different tongues. In a sense, English is what you get when you let a pidgin develop for a few centuries. Which means that while it is listed among the Germanic languages, it really isn't one. It's a strange bird that actually belongs in its own group. BTW, have you seen [i]Gary Gygax's Extraordinary Book of Names[/i] from [b]Troll Lord Games[/b]? It has a few tables in the back you can use to roll up names. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
