Hi all, I'm launching a Kickstarter project for Zine Quest 3 in February, a zine collection of 10 new monsters to challenge your players with, 4 new spells to encourage greater creativity in play, and 16 new magic items for getting out of difficult situations. 3 horrifying monsters from my...

A great resource for D&D 3.5 is the d20 SRD (again, doesn't include the non-SRD monsters like beholders or mind flayers, etc.): https://www.d20srd.org/indexes/monsters.htm

I know, but it doesn't mean there isn't a Google doc somewhere with a master list separated by edition.

Because of the restrictions of the OGL SRD, I don't think you'd be able to find a legitimate master index, as many of the monsters aren't included in the SRD and therefore can't be reprinted (or re-indexed) elsewhere. There will definitely be homemade indexes, as it would be an amazing resource...

I've created some monsters and magic items that use Charisma saves; one of them is a magic mirror that pulls you inside if you fail the save. Essentially you're using the power of your own self-image to counter the magic. I've also had some effects that use an Intelligence save to defend...

Cool, thanks for the feedback. The goal is to be able to just pick up and play. I've got them printed already, but do plan a Kickstarter at some point. Possibly for the follow-up to this one, which is nearly ready to go
