OK, I'll follow up on the thread I started.
I am using Realm Works to manage my Edge of the Empire (Star Wars RPG) campaign, so my examples will be using that.
I ended up using the Mechanics section to put in the "crunchy, universal rules used by stuff all throughout the system". In other words, I now have sections for:
* Skills (with sub categories for Combat, General, and Knowledge)
* Talents
* Talent Trees
And everything cross references everything else. The Talent Tree entries are 100% just links to the Skills and Talents that tree contains.
I will be adding the classes and races next. Then onto the equipment and weapon lists.
This way when I create an entry for an NPC, there will be links to the mechanics section where I can read the rule for his talents, his skills and his equipment, if needed.
