I personally think Sergey is right here... I am also keen on the idea of you
making a seperate Games grimoire. The neat part of this distro is that you
CAN make any type of grimoire you want and offer it to the public. I would
gladly keep it on our codex site.... that way you could find help maybe with
the various sections of you grimoire?

I think it is time to expand the horizons as far a Grimoires go, we will need
to look at keeping the grimoire of reasonable size and I see no need for 160
spells in games for our standard Grimoires (not that I don't appreciate the
great work our guru's are doing).

A time is coming when we will need to put a cap on the max amount of spells
in our official SMGL stable Grimoire. This is a thought I have been having
for a while now.... thoughts?
