User blog:SsVivid/Pages I'd Like to See V.2

Not long ago, I composed a blog post addressing some new developments on the wiki that I liked, and what about them I wanted to see more. Since then, I've done a lot of work moving towards that goal, but there's still a lot left to make. I'll do what I can, but there are just some pages I don't know enough about IRL to genuinely start a good wiki article about. Since my eventual goal is to turn this wiki into not just a character database, but also a reliable source for all of our roleplaying guides that have traditionally been on the In-Game Roleplaying forum, I've come up with a number of ideas for what pages should still be added.
