Planescape Full Index

So I've been working on something for a while, but first a little backstory.

In the Greyhawk community, one of the major resources is a file known as the Encyclopedia Greyhawkia.  This was a PDF created by a guy named Jason Zavoda some years ago, that indexed every NPC, location, group, event - essentially every proper noun in Greyhawk, from every published source.  It was a huge piece of work, and I found it quite handy for my Greyhawk work.  In Planescape, there's been plenty of resources for finding information on a topic; this site's Planar Encyclopedia was and is a big one for me.  But I never found something that really gave the same level of indexing to the original sources.  So I decided to make one myself.

It's still a work in progress, admittedly.  Right now, I only have 5 works indexed out of about 40 Planescape publications and who knows how many Dragon and Dungeon articles and works from other settings with heavy planar content.  However, I thought I'd link what I have so far, just to see what the public reaction is, and see if anyone has any suggestions on it or whatnot.  It should be fairly self-explanatory in format.

Anyway, here's the file: Planescape Full Index   Any feedback would be appreciated.

Just bumping this because, although I never finished it before, I've been somewhat bored recently and I've picked the project back up. I've added about 4 or 5 works since I let things drop off with it around April; it's up to 11 total, with Faces of Sigil in progress at the moment.

Bump noticed. I will check it out when I get a little more free time than right this moment. Eye-wink I like the idea - even if it is grand in scope. I like those ones. Sticking out tongue XD

Okay, wow - nice work so far. Looks like a lot of work... Do all of these books have indexes inside them to make your work easier, or are you forced to look manually for some of these?

Just realized that there is a being named Absalom, which is also the name for the 'City at the center of the world' in Pathfinder's Golarion - neat coincidence.

Some of them have indexes, but I don't use it just to make sure the indexers didn't miss something. Everything's done by hand.

Also, I think both are actually named after the biblical figure (it'd make sense to name a celestial that, at least), but I'm not sure why that name was chosen for the Golarion city. (And thanks for reminding me why that name sounded so familiar to me.)
