Under "Features" is 'Database Almanach' supposed to read 'Almanac' (no 'h')?

Thanks for the report - I actually noticed from spell checker (not being a native speaker) the other day that 'almanach' is not the most common spelling, but it is listed as an alternate spelling on wikipedia, so unless it obviously comes across as a typo we'd keep it (to perhaps make it sound more like a DnD spellbook ;-) )
I think 'almanack' would be more recognizably 'almanac' from an English speaker's viewpoint (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_Richard%27s_Almanack), and still preserve that 'fantasy' vibe
