Spreadsheet Action

As a kind of "proof concept," I recently transferred my notes about the Shattered Realm campaign setting from a word processor document into a spreadsheet. With a spreadsheet, I can sort and filter the entries so that, for example, I can quickly compare the number of elves and dwarves in the world (we try to ensure racial diversity here at the Front Porch), or list all the members of a specific organization, or whatever. Thus far, the Shattered Realm setting has 101 named characters, 10 organizations, 46 named locations, and 20 items of "culture" (a catch-all term for artifacts, important texts, famous historical events, etc.). I think this setting has surpassed the Torchlight world in terms of the sheer amount of named stuff, but it's still an order of magnitude less (I'm not exaggerating) than the Druid Cycle world. It would be extremely handy to get my Druid Cycle notes into a spreadsheet, but that's rather too large a project to tackle at the moment!
