Might as well add a few. Some of these work well for Overworld regions. Here's 26 of 'em:

*aerie* - a bird's or raptor’s nest
*briar* - a valley of thorny vines
*canton* - a small section of a country
*dell* - a small valley
*estuary* - where a river meets a sea
*fjord* - a bay with steep cliffs
*gulch* - a narrow, deep ravine
*hillock* - a small hill
*islet* - a small island
*jetty* - a stone structure built into a body of water to protect a harbor
*knoll* - a small, round hill
*landing* - a flat surface, especially on a mountainside or at a water’s banks
*mont* - a mountain, especially a mountaintop
*needle* - a tall monument of shaped and tapered stone
*observatory* - a building used for viewing and studying natural phenomena
*peninsula* - a stretch of land with water on 3 sides
*quarry* - an excavation site where building-quality stone is mined
*rook* - a tower
*stand* - a small grouping of trees
*trestle* - an a-frame wooden bridge, especially with railroad tracks
*upheaval* - a recent upturning of earth and stone
*vista* - a view as seen through a long, narrow passage
*wastes* - land left unusable due to war or natural disaster
*xyst* - a covered garden
*yonder* - that place over there
*ziggurat* - a terraced, pyramidal tower

P.S.-thought it was funny using dngn for dungeon. In Star Trek TNG, they had tubes in Engineering and throughout the Jeffries Tubes marked GNDN. It stood for 'Goes Nowhere Does Nothing'.

I like that Vista is 'a narrow view'. Reminds me of Microsoft in general.

NO!!! Don't get Vista untill ZC 2.5 comes out! 2.10 doesn't work on Vista, so you will be stuck with alpha builds. Trust me, wait.

Try playing 2.10 quests on them. In just one quest, I have run into 3 game ruining bugs specific to 2.5, and I'm only on level 4.

But on the note, scripting rocks! But Joe, you are overusing it. Half the time, when you mean to type "and" on the forums, you type "&&".

And congrats on 1000 posts!

Oh yeah, I tried to play CastChaos's entry to the 2 week competition in 679, and it wouldn't go past the intro.

I don't play much of other people's quests nowadays though, I never really seem to find the time, I didn't even get past level 1 of Lost Isle in the end :(

I knew that'd catch up with me sometime =P
I had noticed, I've started doing it half intentionally nowdays. I was doing it in my notes in maths earlier >_<

Thanks :D
Good luck for yours =P
