the basic idea is to go with a UA structure
(if you want to make things more complicated, you can go on from there)
the UA structure makes thing simple, understandable, and fun!

[remember, there is no real canon. just make up whatever you like : as long as it's fun and educational]

NOTES
"One of the things that I want to do with the help of all of you is to post every Mythological/literary/historical/real world bird, beast, sea creature, dragon, monster, animal, or creature that we can find or invent with background information from all of us. I have a lot of stuff to post and it is mainly a matter of how much time I can devote to it." -- Llaurenela
<the above was from the dragonsfoot.org forums - find this person, and tell him or her about this!>

GREENGINEERING
With vf (as yet, unfinished),
the idea was to make an effective recycling reminder (a tool)
the idea was to help bring the audience a little closer to Nature, if only by a bit (better than sitcoms)
<it's like a parallel world with different creatures>
<conditions are harsh>
[paraphrase: a kid walking with his dad, in front of me, on the way to the subway, on the way to the Bakka party]

With Mother Earth (working title),
the theory is that we will be harder to find than ...
 

CONTINENTS
There are 12 continents.

CONTINENTS \ REGIONS (AREAs, REALMS(?), etc.)
each region = an AREA map (38x15 : 576 squares)
problem: see Ireland, for an example (there is a king of Scotland, Scandinavia, etc.). what to do?
solution:

CREATIVITY
problem: creativity (i'm worried about this not being as creative as something like the FR, or making up one's own world, mythopoeia)
solution:

MYTH, NOT HISTORY
like it's been said b4, this isn't about an accurate history lesson.
the idea is to have fun, and sort of get a general familiarity, or introduction, to a myth, or area
the emphasis is definitely on myth, not history
(as well, things are not meant to be realistic all the time. for example, if i was in Egypt, and the atmosphere is 4 miles high (so, in 3D, there are 576 squares above, 576 squares above, 576 squares above, 576 squares above), in one of those squares, i might meet someone)
what is written in myth is actually true. amber is actually the tears of a goddess, etc.
this might require some creative explanation!

DEITIES
    In FR, etc. the deities are quite rare. however, here, they are a little more common. even if they live on the Outer Planes, they visit Earth quite regularly. the idea is to somehow not let the players know this, for as long as possible (DMs : keep this a secret : try not to write this down, or speak about it, as it might 'give away the story' : i've got to hide this note). so, if the 'heroes' decide to bully an old one-eyed man with a hat, they might be in for a bit of a surprise. (BTW, in the playtests, we tried this out with the Hackmaster system, but things really sorta didn't work out that great, overall) (although this is done in a 'D&D' format, this index is not a D&D index : it can be used for actual real-world research, or for other RPGs, whatever. it's just that i grew up with D&D, so that's the one i use. right now, a lot of people speak this language) (however, i thought about doing something with the S&S rules) (M&M?)

NPC TABLES
<see if something like this can be added, with a find and replace>
<in other words, these are like the DMG tables, customized to each region>
<so, if the heroes are exploring a random dungeon, and they meet an NPC party, the stats can be ready>
<so, if the heroes are exploring a city, and they meet an NPC, the stats can be ready>
<now, i would say, go with a close enough idea>
<close enough 1: IF the heroes have already met 'the' C3 for a region, who is dead THEN use C2 or C4>
<close enough 2 (theory) : a multi- or dual- classed character can be placed on the NPC table, as long as their highest level is in the relevant class>
<close enough 2 (theory) : a multi- or dual- classed character can be placed on the NPC table, as long as 50%+ of their levels is in the relevant class>
    <multi-class characters : L1+L2+2=level>
    <multi-class characters : L1+L2+L3+3=level>
    <dual-class characters (?) : L1+L2=level>

<DMG.1: put a date. this affects length of association, and the NPC's age> <find another word for this, as it confuses with the active character : UA>

<notes.QUEST: campaign-specific. ie. the heroes met So-and-So, and they owe him some money, or they are on a quest for him, etc.>

<notes.TALK: see Active to calculate Length of Association. fill this field in like so :
    PC.REACTION, PC.REACTION
        where PC = Player Character's name, Reaction is the last reaction result (Hostile, Neutral, Friendly, etc.)
    think UA talk. the active character's name, and the reaction result gets noted down in this field after an encounter>
