Hi folks,

Thanks to the help of some of Acaeum residents, I think I have finally finished my complete index of D&D creatures. You can download it from this thread over on ENWorld.

To the best of my knowledge the index includes every official D&D creature ever published, as well as a large number of semi-official critters and some unofficial updates of older creatures. Of course, claiming that the index is complete virtually guarantees that  someone will now find a creature I've left out. But that's good too; if you spot an omission, please tell me!

As an added bonus, I've included a pretty thorough list of D&D products in the index as a reference. Of course, that list doesn't include anywhere near the depth of detail the Acaeum itself has as far as different printings of early products goes, but I think it lists at least one printing of every D&D source book, boxed set, magazine, novel, comic and computer game released, right up to products announced for 2008. So even if you aren't a monster nut, you might still find it a useful download.

Enjoy!

Sounds like an excellent work. But instead of publishing a link to another forum where we might not be members, you might post it here or put it on a public server and post the link here.

I for one would be interested in looking at it, but couldn't care less to make an account on a forum I wouldn't use.

That's odd -- I didn't realise that you needed an account to view ENWorld threads; are you unable to see the attached file without a log-in? If that's the case, my apologies. I'll make a plan to put it on a publicly accessible server tomorrow.

Also, is there a size limit for attachments on these forums? The index is a bit larger than 2Mb when compressed.

I can see the thread, but not access the file.

My apologies -- I didn't realise that was how those forums worked.

Try this link instead, guerret.

Seems like a very good work. A bit impractical, maybe, because of the amount of monsters (not easy to quickly browse through it), but interesting nonetheless.

Note: the bits o' Moander were first created for AD&D 2nd Edition in Pools of Darkness. They are not included in the manual, but probably some package reader can be used on the game files to read the exact stats.
