    Very handy. Another table with grotesques might be good. There are too few enfields and calygreyhounds in modern fantasy.

    1. Quite true. I intentionally left them out because I was intending to use them for faerie knight heraldry in my setting, but the faerie knight generator is morphing into something weirder, so I might move the fictional beasts back to ordinary heraldry.

  2. Fantastic! I am reminded of castles in the Seckler tables (which are based on OD&D, I think?)
