Subject: Indices (was Re: SGII: Casevac?)

I've found that, for me, it can be difficult to locate some bits of
information in SGII and DSII, since both books are organized in a manner
different from the way I would have organized them. My recent (bungled)
question about Casevac rules in DSII is an example of a piece of information
that's present in the rules but a bit hard to find.

So, would people like to see index pages for these books? Would the
distribution of such indices be OK with St.Jon? Am I the only one who has some
trouble finding information from time to time?

I don't know... I think the tabel of contents is usually a pretty good place
to start when I'm looking for an obscure rule. I've found them to be very
detailed. Also just by flipping to the appropriate section I've been able to
locate rules based on the block header format. I like the way the SG & DS
books are laid out, much better than the FT books IMO. All that being said,
indexes are nice to have as well giving you multiple points to ref a single
subject. Have at it...

You are definitely not the only one that has trouble finding items in SG and
DS. And index sounds like a great idea!
