I've just updated the figures to reflect the last round of conversions in the Vaults of Pandius and some of Garnfellow's White Dwarf conversions I'd missed.

Just 1965 left to go now...

We've got another batch of ten (and a few extras) about ready to go into the CC, too.

Updated to remove the latest bunch of CC creatures. Only 1939 creatures left now. (Which works out to about 7 conversions per day to get them all done before the 4E Monster Manual is released )

Hmmm. Guess we're a little behind schedule, then.

Well, one anyway . I'm not counting the Tree of Wailing Souls as an unconverted creature because it seems to be unique. (But I did add it to the index!)

I haven't been counting unique beings in the unconverted creature threads, or the total would be much, much higher.

Still 1890 now, by my count. Quite a few of the recent conversion had already appeared elsewhere (eg Tome of Horrors), so those didn't reduce the overall total. Plus every now and again I stumble on one or two additional unconverted creatures which pushes the number up again.

Only 1890? At this rate we'll be done in 17 months.

Then we can start converting for 4E.
