So if we do decide to expand the Almanac into a full thread, here's what I have planned so far:
#1: Introduction and TOC
#2: Lay of the Land
--Locations in NE Atruna
--Locations in NW Atruna (Forthcoming)
--Locations in S Atruna (Forthcoming)
--The latest update of Raptor's map
#3: Denizens of the Realm
In descending order of priority:
--Merchants (All NPCs who buy or sell stuff)
--Titled Persons (NPCs with a formal title, like Lord or Headmaster)
--Those Who Fight (non-titled NPCs with a presumed archer, knight, rogue, or warrior class)
--The Magically Inclined (non-titled NPCs with a presumed shaman or wizard class)
--Ordinary Folk (everybody else)
--Mysterious People... (NPCs about whom little is known, with a possible storyline connection. Currently Socratos is the only one in this category.)
#4: Adventurers' Gear
--Hand-held equipment (weapons and shields)
--Armor slot equipment (cloaks, helms, gloves, boots, rings, etc)
--Supporting items (potions, scrolls, fishing rods, etc.)
--Ingredients
--Recipes
#5: Beasts of the Wilds
--Sorted alphabetically with a brief description, locations sighted, general size, and any special abilities.
#6: Help Wanted
--Outstanding Area Quests and obstacles.
You'll notice that Merchants' Wares and Quests are not listed. This is because a lot of these things either change too often, or are too character-specific, that I don't feel they would be useful in a general reference guide.
Lores could be added on later as individual short stories about the history or culture of Atruna, if Socrates wants to have our characters learn these things through NPCs, or if players want to write fan-fic about their own characters' adventures. (The current almanac on my blog lists two 'historical events' so far: the dispelling of the web leading to Mirna's Shack and the discovery of treasure in Pol River Cave.)
Looks great. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Also, MAP UPDATE: IMPORTANT NOTE! EVERYONE TAKE A LOOK AT THE MAP. IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE RIGHT AREA PLEASE PM ME WITH YOUR LOCATION!

That almanac plan looks good to me, and I understand the reservations re: Wares and Quests. I'd just recommend putting a note in the merchants section saying that people can PM me if they want to see a merchant's latest stock. That way player's don't have to waste a turn asking what a merchant has in stock.
The reason I wanted a quests part for the almanac is to encourage working together, but then again, I feel like players who seek teamwork will look through what everyone is doing in the adventure thread anyway, so we probably don't need to put it in the almanac too.
EDIT: COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THIS PROJECT, is anyone good at making custom MSE templates?
Yeah, Jenesis, when you next have a chunk of time, feel free to make that thread. PM me if there's any information you need me to supply/resupply.
As for the next update, I'm going out to dinner soon but have it half-prepped for when I get back.
As for players, I'm taking those that have been inactive for a long time off the map and out of the post to avoid clutter, but they're welcome back whenever they want.
As for NEW players, that means there's plenty of room for more. Tell your friends.
Woot, Vengeance Quest is a go! I knew those snooty rich pair were no good, I so can't wait to find them and get revenge.... and the silver dagger from the Mr... but revenge is the main goal. *shifty eyes*
As of next week I'll (hopefully) be a little less stressed. I'll start up a thread for the Almanac then. The last update covers all the characters and places for the first 15-ish pages, then the rest will be slowly filled in as I go through and re-read all the updates again.
I may just decide to omit all the character- and quest-specific stuff. PM me if there's a memorable event (like breaking through an obstacle) that you'd like me to include.
Lots of interplayer stuff and stuff so I'm going to wait a bit to give everyone a chance to show up. If it gets to the end of the day, though, I'll post the update. It's mostly ready.
Oh dear. How do I deal 6 damage with U?
Time to go check Gatherer for precedent, I guess. At the very least, find something to kill it with... that only costs 1 or U.... Heheh, "one or blue", 'dat rhymes. Wait, no it doesn't. I'm confusing "one and two" or something....
As long as I'm devoting some time toward worldbuilding for the next couple regions, is there anything missing you'd like to see added? Anything from mechanics to creature types to kinds of people to random events to things I can't even imagine.
You can always let me know that kind of thing, but now is the best time.
I'd like at least a limited form the Artificer class made available. Nothing much, even the ability to make small trinkets and/or spellbombs would be interesting. At least that way we'd be able to set up a small shop and sell our artifacts for fun and profit. Seriously, Artificers FTW!

In the region to the West past the prismatic barrier lies the trainer for non-Equipment artifacts. In the region to the south are trainers for Equipment and non-Aura Enchantments.
There is also a usable forge and a practitioner of an art called "infusion" for improving weapons and armor.
As many of you have noticed by now, the trainers for creatures and Auras are in the starting region.
There's one more thing I know you'll like in one of the new regions, but I don't want to give everything away.

I'm already moving as fast as they are and I'm still level 1. When I get to level 2 (shortly ;)) I'll be moving twice as fast as you are now.
