Summonnable Monster Compendium
« on: July 11, 2012, 06:05:56 PM »
Hello!

As a personal project, I started to make a compilation of every 3.5's summonnable monster statblocks (from the Legal summon monster tread). And not just those from the SRD.

It's a personnal project for myself and friends, as looking trough 5 books for each casting of a Summon Monster X is tedious for the Summonner player or the DM.

Its a lenghty process. Those taken from the SRD are easy, but I have to write down a lot of things by hand for the other books. And there's A LOT of monsters.
(at 2 monster per pages, I currently have 61 pages, and I just finished SM IV)

I believe at least SOME people would be interested in this as well, but if fear its not legal to distribute stats blocks (or maybe its Fair use, since its a very small portion of the books.)

So 2 questions: 1-Are some people interested in getting it?
2-Is it allowed on the forums/legal at all?

You might be able to build upon this:

If you've already finished the srd, not a lot of help, but even having a backbone you could use would be useful.

If this were me, I'd probably just pay someone on odesk in India or the Phillipines to do it using ebooks.

Best
David

Hey, the poster Surreal calls himself
"the Former Librarian" about this kind
of indexing.  And it is a complement.
You wanna take the time to compile
all this info, it would be much appreciated
by these boards.
