Complete D&D Monster Index (September 2007)

[Echohawk]

[Edit: Latest version available here.]

Here is the September update of my monster index. With the addition of the last few paper issues of Dragon & Dungeon magazines, and all of the early run of White Dwarf now checked, I think I'm ready to finally call this a complete index of all D&D creatures ever

Updates since the last release:

• Added Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk
• Added Dragon #357-#359 and Dungeon #150 (the last of the printed magazines! )
• Added the chinese hill giants from Lost Caverns of Tsojconth
• Added White Dwarf #4, #5, #6, #9, #10, #11, #12, #14, #15, #16, #18, #54
• Added Best of White Dwarf Articles Volume II
• Added Svimohzia: the Ancient Isle
• Added Athas.org's Life-Shaping Handbook

Also, for this version of the index, I updated the accompanying list of D&D Sources to include all of the various D&D novels and comics which have been produced over the years. That part of the spreadsheet still isn't a totally comprehensive list of all D&D products ever, but I think it is still a handy reference tool in its own right.

Here's an overview of what is included in the index:

• D&D products published by Wizards of the Coast
• D&D monsters published on the Wizards of the Coast web site
• D&D Miniatures cards
• Dragon magazine 1-359 (and Annuals)

You work fast if you already got my conversions in there... As always, this is a really nice resource. Thanks!

Draconic Hybrids and Other Reptilian Monstrousities is included in the index .

 

[freyar]

I know! And I only put them online about 6 hrs ago!

You are a complete lunatic. This is amazing. I'm going to be playing around with this thing all day.

I think WotC needs to hire you as a data-collection guy for the Digital Initiative.

Between Echohawk's monster index and Alzrius's "every deity ever" file, we have some incredible resources around these parts.

 

[Echohawk]

What I'd really like to see is a comprehensive index of all the D&D maps that have been published over the years. I frequently need to find just the right map to suit the temple/ruins/cavern complex I have in mind. I'm sure I have some perfect candidates tucked away in D&D books I don't remember very well, or haven't looked at in a while, but 90% of the time I end up drawing the maps from scratch.

There really needs to be a better way of finding a particular map.

 

[freyar]

Wouldn't the map index need to contain the maps just so you could remember which is which? After all, just saying "ruined temple" doesn't narrow things down a lot.

 

[Echohawk]

I was thinking that an indication of scale (map area: 100' x 60'), type of map ('building layout') and brief description ('ruined temple with burial area and bell-tower') would be enough to narrow the search for a suitable map down quite a lot. Not that I've been thinking about this much, of course. Um.

Echohawk,

I was using your (jolly useful) Monster Index to sort the Vaults of Pandius 3.5 conversions by CR and noticed that a few had their CR missing so here goes :-

[b]URL					Monster				CR[/b]
http://www.pandius.com/carnifex.html	Carnifex			4
http://www.pandius.com/cay_man.html	Cay-Man				1/2
http://www.pandius.com/zargocha.html	Changeling, Zargosian		1
http://www.pandius.com/faenare.html	Faenare				1
http://www.pandius.com/gatorman.html	Gator Man (Gurrash)		2
http://www.pandius.com/gremlin.html	Gremlin				1
http://www.pandius.com/hauntlsr.html	Haunt, Lesser			varies
http://www.pandius.com/hsiao.html	Hsiao				3
http://www.pandius.com/traldari.html	Man, Isolated; Traldar		1/4
http://www.pandius.com/mpnative.html	Man, Primitive: Native		1/2
http://www.pandius.com/mpbarbrn.html	Man, Primitive; Barbarian	1/2
http://www.pandius.com/nagpa.html	Nagpa				2
http://www.pandius.com/phhydra.html	Nagpa				6
http://www.pandius.com/neshezu3.html	Neshezu				1/2
http://www.pandius.com/newt.html	Newt				1
http://www.pandius.com/pegataur.html	Pegataur			4
http://www.pandius.com/ratling.html	Ratling				1/2
http://www.pandius.com/druj.html	Spirit Possessed (Druj)		11
http://www.pandius.com/revenant.html	Spirit Possessed (Revenant)	14
http://www.pandius.com/odictemp.html	Spirit, Odic			varies
http://www.pandius.com/jb_tabi.html	Tabi				3

Also looking at that the second Nagpa entry points to the pig-headed hydra - so one or the other is wrong

<edit>Actually not all those entries above need correcting some (such as Cay-man are already in the index with their CR - obviously just duplicate entries from when they appear in more than one source book) </edit>
