Yes, for the older table, the one that I've used, I did just use it for random encounters, when I was dry at the start of an adventure. It did lead to some good playing hooks. But in the long run, not complicated enough.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-68083566682752185022010-11-22T14:37:01.894-07:002010-11-22T14:37:01.894-07:00Wait, what?

As far as the specific entities here having a specific 'plan,' none of them possibly can because no monster listed has an intelligence greater than 2. Most have no intelligence whatsoever. An ochre jelly cannot, by definition, have a plan. It will act in the way completely instinctively.<br /><br />Eventually, I would want to have many possible actions for more intelligent creatures - the more intelligent, the more possible actions. But I haven't gotten that far, yet. Moreover, I'm just now putting the data I do have into a publishable format. I hope to have all creatures up to 2 intelligence done by the end of January or before.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-82289073036119434562010-11-22T14:11:54.703-07:002010-11-22T14:11:54.703-07:00In what fraction of encounters do you personally u...In what fraction of encounters do you personally use the Encounter Actions table?<br /><br />Every encounter?

So here's what's still related:<br />As for the wiki thing: That makes sense. You might want to put something of that nature on the create account page though, so that anyone doing so is forewarned. Mostly I was simply going to fix some small spelling errors and such (Like this one in the biology table: Int: All creatures shown thus far are of no intelligence ... thus, zer. I'm assuming that should be zero.), so that everyone else could work on generating new content.C'nor (Outermost_Toe)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01580315916281876117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-10231204077527957862010-11-22T10:34:00.428-07:002010-11-22T10:34:00.428-07:00Fork: One of the branches of such a bifurcation or...<b>Fork:</b> One of the branches of such a bifurcation or separation: <i>the right fork</i>.<br /><br /><b>Confluence:</b> A flowing together of two or more streams; the point of juncture of such streams; the combined stream formed by this juncture: <i>the right fork</i>.<br /><br />I'm sorry.

You've designated the Ob-Irtysh river as a confluence (here and in the description) but reading from the left shows a fork. Which is indeed the name of the map itself.
