I'll be very disappointed if this is the case. Right now there is about 30 pages of beasts, races and monsters in ITL. What size are you expecting it to be. I'll take 100+ pages.

Expanding the information is good.

That would be wonderful.

OK

This is good.

I'm not happy with having diseases in this book unless its just to give the name (like Malaria). I think to do diseases justice, it needs to be in a Book of Diseases article listing the disease, symptoms, TFT affect, duration, termination of disease or patient, cures, etc.

Predators and their prey are good.

Good.

So, ultimately, the idea is to flesh out all the entries with more background and useful info to spark campaign or adventure ideas, and to make encounters more lively or realistic.[/QUOTE]

However, to get everything in a uniform order and all in one book seems ok. with cards and chits as add-ons or stretch goals.
