Generic NPCs
The Mighty Buzzard:
Sorted first into depth, then into pure mortal/supernatural, then alphanumerically. Just plaintext for the moment. If you have some kind of markup you'd like applied, like for say cutting and pasting into the wiki, let me know.
This is not a finished product by any means. At any time it is likely to become empty, filled with the letter Q, change into the writings of a Lovecraftian horror that will drive you insane simply by reading the first half page, or worse.

Sanctaphrax:
Wow. That's a lot of NPCs. I didn't realize how many I had written until now.
If you're thinking of changing the formatting, I suggest you just imitate this thread. Name in bold, subheadings underlined, refresh cost and refresh remaining on separate lines from their headings.
Anyway, thanks again. With this, updating the character section on the wiki will be much much faster.
Once these go on the wiki, it'll be necessary to apply all kinds of tags. But this probably isn't the time for that.
The Mighty Buzzard:
Easy peasy on formatting for pasting to the board. I'll just have to add one line to one spot in the script and rerun it. Probably tomorrow since I've been productive enough for today.
Suggestion, add Notes: and Variations: sections to the template just above the refresh fields so anything worth saying can go in the template itself rather than above or below it. If you do, I can have the script go and retroactively add empty ones to all the entries so far.
Let me know when you get an entry up on the wiki that you're happy with the formatting on and I'll write in an option to output that format too.
Sanctaphrax:
Not sure exactly what you mean. What would you envision being in the "notes" and "variations" sections?
Will go to the wiki to find a good entry now.
EDIT: The wiki entries all have the same formatting, which makes sense since I used a template to make them. Here's one that will serve as an example:
http://dfrpg-resources.wikispaces.com/NPC%20Generic%20Demon%20Lord
The Mighty Buzzard:
Notes: anything you'd normally write above or below the template describing or clarifying.
Variations: small changes that could optionally make it a somewhat different beastie but don't warrant an entire separate entry. like one or two differences each for earth, air, and fire variants of a water fae.
Ugh, just noticed the wiki is all ajax and gui'd up on editing. Guess I won't be writing a script to automagically post them; learning a new api for every site on the net is a huge pain. Ajax can bite my shiny metal ass.
I'll let you know when I've got something ready for copying and pasting directly into the wiki. May be a few days before I find the time and motivation.
