For an updated Foes, a good start would be for everyone to type in one (or more!) characters in their campaign. Since the worst nasties are often fleshed out quite well, this would provide a starting set of Foes.

I hereby offer to collate such a project (and pass on to TOTRM or anyone else who'll publish for reasonable cost) - as though I don't have enough to do...:-)

Offer: email or snail mail me a character and I'll set them into a standard form and put them all together. I can take most formats but if its not "normal" ask first.
