I'm coming close to finishing this monster. I'm letting people see it in its unfinished state to see if anyone has any ideas for improving it, wants to help work on it, or sees an error that needs correcting.

The main parts I have left to do is just data entry from the Encounters in Faerun insert that comes with the FR DM's screen. I have completed 3 of the regions (I think that leaves 10 more to go).

Here's some of what I've added to the original work by John Deines:
1. The NPCs and groups from the back of the insert
2. Overland movement calculator
3. A generator using the NPCs tables that can create up to 100 NPCs
4. No longer have to lookup Dragons separately.
5. The critters are all in a database with their CR, just use the pulldowns to add them to the encounter sheets (programmers only).
6. EL is calculated for you.
7. Activity, condition, and distance recommendations are included with each encounter.

Here's the link if you are interested (right-click and save target as):

Hmm, and I thought I was being too clever for my own good when I nicked the source code for the random tavern generator and started modifying iit to be a moer Faerun production.

All in all nice. Very nice.
