I just looked at your Pocket Guide to Oozes and there is no 3e listing for Silver Slime. Either the guide is out of date or the Oozes are one monster away from being finished.

After a careful read of the Silver Slime entry, I eventually decided it was probably a plant or a fungus (it makes sporangia!), so for the moment it's lurking in the unconverted plants thread...I just looked at your Pocket Guide to Oozes and there is no 3e listing for Silver Slime.

Cheers for the amazing update. So at the current rate we're looking at another 2-3 years!One extensive update later, and the total left in the pile has dropped from 634 to 458 -- a reduction of nearly 200 in the last year.

This list and all of the unconverted creature lists should be up-to-date again. I've removed the new conversions over the last six months (whether uploaded to the cc or not), and added back in the official D&D creatures that were previously available on the Frilond web site, but which are now without published conversions.
If there are any listed creatures that you've decided to skip for some reason, let me know and I'll update the lists. (Also, if I've missed any conversions, please let me know.)
Yes, I did use that thread to check my notes. Yes, I noticed it left out the Roleaids conversions, and yes, I don't care so much about those since they aren't official.If you are using the Creatures Awaiting Upload & Current Conversions list to eliminate creatures it doesn't include the Mayfair Games conversions, although those shouldn't matter as they're not "official D&D creatures" - so I guess the fall in the same category as the Frilond conversions of White Dwarf magazine monsters that didn't make it into the Fiend Folio.

I don't even have the Mayfair monsters in my master index at the moment. I have considered adding the Judges Guild and Mayfair creatures, but those are very low down on my priority list. There are three years of 4e releases I need to add first, plus I've realised that there are some new creatures scattered amongst the thousands of Living * modules, which also need to be cataloged.
I wonder if my employer would consider allowing me a six month sabbatical to update the monster index?![]()

The D&D creatures from White Dwarf are already in the index (at least in my local copy).Quite understandable. If you start down that route you'd next be trying to add monsters from White Dwarf...
I'm my own employer.Sadly, most bosses have a ridiculously narrow-minded view that roleplaying games don't count as work.![]()

Quite understandable. If you start down that route you'd next be trying to add monsters from White Dwarf, then other "D&D-ish" magazines, then the fanzines, then the homebrews on the internet. The only question is at what point does the monster proliferation drive you insane...
I needed them there a while back to check which FF creatures were WD retreads (surprisingly few, as it happens).

Absolutely no argument from me on that. *twitch*Since you didn't object to my previous post's contention... ...the obvious inference is that you're already on the path to Indexing madness!![]()
Something like this thread?Since we were mulling over the idea of doing conversions of White Dwarf's "non Fiend Folio" D&Dish monsters, do you have a handy list of the non-WD retreads.
It's been a while since I looked at any White Dwarf creatures. From memory, more of those creatures fell into the "what the heck were they thinking?" category than the "this would be good to convert!" category.Incidentally, are there any of these Fiend Factory-only critters that particularly tickled your fancy? It looks like we will probably be doing the "alternative version" Water Leaper next, but there's plenty to chose from.
Mostly our large number of pets is to blame for lack of holidays. It's hard to find a house-sitter willing to manage our rural smallholding when we go awayIn that case you've only got yourself and the economic climate to blame for you lack of holidays.![]()

New Echohawk index! Downloading...
That reminds me. I've uploaded a somewhat more up-to-date version of my monster index. It is still far from completely up-to-date, but it does have 7.4% more monsters than the 2008 version.
