[QUOTE="Siberys, post: 6011797, member: 30619"] I've been working on this tool for the last three or four months, and I just put it live last night. It's a searchable and sortable index of pretty much everything 4e. It can be found [url=http://www.astralarchivist.com/archive/]HERE[/url] if you'd like to use it. "But wait, Siberys," You ask, "The D&D Compendium already exists! Why go through the trouble of duplicating an existing tool?" For one, I'm concerned about when the compendium will be taken down. It's likely to be up for the forseeable future, but I could see it being taken down at some point - whether to encourage people to pick up 5e, or because it's taking up too much space, or from disuse, or whatever. Also, a number of elements in the compendium are marked as being from "Multiple Sources", which makes finding things in my books a pain since I recently let my subscription lapse. Creating my own index lets me list those repeated elements separately. Finally, I could make a couple of tweaks to the index to suit my needs. Namely, I have marked elements that have been errataed; I've marked which elements I've houseruled; I've added in third-party books, in particular the Zeitgeist adventures, Blackdirge's Dungeon Denizens and Creature Catalogs, and Azagar's Book of Rituals; and I've included homebrewed game elements. If you see any typos or an element isn't properly marked for errata, please tell me. There are over 25,000 entries in the database, so I'm sure I missed something somewhere. Anyways, it's up if anyone else wants to use it. [/QUOTE]
