*Very well. I suggest a section on the main page- these subjects are likely to be heavily used; I know that I will use them a lot when planning for my gaming sessions. I have always liked the evocative titles given in the D20 Call of Cthulhu rules when they broke up the Mythos for consideration when writing a scenario. I believe they were Mysterious Places, Forbidden Tomes, things like that. When I get home, I'll look them up, and add them to the bottom of the main page, and start making entries. If people hate 'em, they don't need to stay.--[[User:Jeff Campbell|Jeff Campbell]] 17:28, 25 January 2006 (EST) | *Very well.

*I'll be honest, I didn't understand what Squashua was suggesting when I first read this. But in any case, I did need an in-game category, so I picked myth. It could have been better; it will conflict with mythos; if it doesn't fly, I guess we'll go in and change it.--[[User:Jeff Campbell|Jeff Campbell]] 00:25, 26 January 2006 (EST) | *I'll be honest, I didn't understand what Squashua was suggesting when I first read this.

Preface of Mythos
- Using Mythos as a preface to too many things reduces it's usefullness. Mythos:Entities and Mythos: Locations and Mythos and Mythos:Personalites, etc. won't do anyone any good. It's all Mythos, after all, isn't it?--Jeff Campbell 20:59, 24 January 2006 (EST)
- Good question. Suggest changes. --Squashua 09:47, 25 January 2006 (EST)

- My original concept with this was to set in place a method of organization, something that the majority of Wikis use (and this one does not), called Categories. If we categorize sections, it helps formulate an index. As you suggested, a Category for home-brew pages is an excellent idea, but using the name "Myth" seems a little conflictive with "Mythos". I recommend selecting a different name, and would suggest a different name if I could think of one. --Squashua 10:04, 26 January 2006 (EST)
