I see your project looks RPG/MMORPG related.  With patience you'll see that 
TW is a great tool for such purposes-- a few individuals here have applied 
TW to RPG related purposes.  There's a learning curve but its definitely a 
worthwhile curve cause everything that TW can do.

The templates Mark S mention is the best way to cut out the manual table 
coding (typing)  but templates work best with fields not raw text, which 
I'm not sure if you have gotten to learning fields yet.  Field value entry 
can also be labour intensive but templates again can be used to create 
tiddlers with all fields added.

How far have you gotten with making tiddlers, would be a major time loss 
going back to start and starting with templates?  Would you already have 
this data already on a spreadsheet?  there's ways to mass import 
spreadsheets into TW, creating tiddlers preformatted.

Once you get to the search function, I may have something that may help.
