Updated both; simply removed the specific date, so it can just be filled in with the correct one, and we don't have to remember to update it each January

Getting a headache here. What did we decide was the standard for coinage, GP or gp?

Ah. We need to repeat that in the Adventure Template.

The template should certainly have a mention of treasure, along with a note to check with the Style Guide for details, additional guidance, etc.
Also, noticed that for the "3 Giant Flies" monster entry that "fly" needs to be capitalized.

Generally I'm against redundant information, but in this case I think we may need to repeat several things from the Style Guide that have specific impact on the Adventure Template.

How many times should the WanderingMonsterEnd style be applied to one table of wandering monsters? I thought the intent was to apply WanderingMonsterBody to every line of the table except the very last. However, I have sometimes added an extra WanderingMonsterEnd to encourage LibreOffice to split the table across a page break. Then, I got the suggestion to use it after every line of checkboxes.

Here's an illustration.

(B is WanderingMonsterBody and E is WanderingMonsterEnd).

I'm inclined either to have vertical space between every block or no block.

Like regular monster stat-lines, I would put the End style at the end of the last line of HP hoxes for each group/entry

In other words, the styling in my illustration is correct. You recommend vertical spacing after the last row of checkboxes but not extra vertical spacing when an entry does not end in checkboxes (marked as "no bottom margin"). Right? Thanks!

Each "item" in the wandering monster area should end with an End style. If it has checkboxes, then that would be the last line of checkboxes; if not, then the last proper line/paragraph should be so marked. If there is only one line, it's an End line.
