Grisly is a more precise term. Here in the States, when we read Grizzly, we think of the huge bears of the Rocky Mountains. "Grizzly bear" is a term that has passed into the cultural lexicon. If you don't want to change it, that's OK. But there will be a number of people in the US who will see the term and think the same thing I thought - imprecise usage.

And I'm with mmadsen - I have no idea what the UK, France, and Russia comment meant. I could see the terms being used in the UK, but are those words also in the French and Russian langages?
 


For anyone interested, I modified the code slightly to keep more than one volume name on the screen at a time. Just save the original page, find the computeForm function, scroll down to the last line of that function (form.DMG.value ...), select from that line to the end of the file, and paste in the following code, replacing the original code.
Code:
[Color=white]
function computeForm(form)
{
   ...
   form.DMG.value = form.DMG.value 
                  + capFirst(str) + "\n";
}

<body onload=initLists()>
<h1>The Necrobiblicon</h1>
<p>A baleful resource for Gothic and/or 
Lovecraftian horror and related warped 
game settings.</p> 

<p>After you've defeated the evil necromancer 
what then? Why you, er...expropriate his belongings, 
including his eeevil library. What's in those rows 
of thick, dusty volumes you wonder? Probably some 
fairly innocuous works on polishing wands or cleaning 
pointy hats, but maybe a few other things as well...</p>

Why You Need Rhetoric


HEAHAHAHAH!!!!


That's great.

Fragments from the Semi-Digested Notebooks of Thrommel of Krestible

Wonder what Digested them...

But then again, with books like

Foul Denizens of the Abyss that Disguise Themselves as Books

maybe I'm better off not knowing.

Hey tarchon! I take it you are the author of "The Necrobiblicon." If so, thanks for making it and sharing it!

Yeah, I wrote it. I've incorporated some of the posted suggestions, in various ways. Thanks.

Cool. It's actually hard coming up with new additions, your list seems so comprehensive. Did you come up with all the original variables yourself?

Almost all of them - I just add stuff when I get bored with what I'm doing. Some of it works, and some of it doesn't. I leave it in if it frequently leads to funny, disturbing, or realistic sounding titles. Yeah, and sometimes I make mistakes, like with "Saint Katrina's Feudal Struggles." Well, of course it has to be "Futile" since there is no such conventional phrase as "Feudal Struggle."
