[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5826348, member: 92511"] FUN! We had a thread like this a way back. I think I'd want to see something like this. I also want to reitrate, from what i saw in the other MM thread, that descriptions, culture (if applicable), and pictures of just about everything (not necessarily any normal/RW animals, mind) and the occasional few nice half or full page images of random groups of adventurers in the midst of battle against something in that section would be cool.
