Hello All,

I had mentioned about having an Excel file in the "Keeping track of one's collection" thread and how to create one from the Acaeum list of TSR products. Well, I know that this took awhile, due to my RL delays and some problems with AT&T not allowing me to send files to FoulFoot, but at long last here is simple Excel file with several tabs. There is a MASTER sheet with all items, plus separate tabs for Accessories, Books & Sets, Modules, and Rares. The only columns are Codes & Titles, but this is enough to get started keeping track of inventory, but may not be robust enough for active traders. It works well for collectors though, as you can sort by code or title and you can even find an item by using Ctrl-F and typing the code or title or whatever you want to search for. The columns to the right are up to you to use (Prices, Conditions, Quantity for horders , etc.)

I truly hope this helps some people and if I create a more robust version, I will see if Foul would be kind enough to update it

Thanks, PM. Way to keep the collecting bug under control  

Looks good, by the way, thanks for posting. I am actually going to use it (at some point), with maybe the addition of a tab that includes print runs of certain modules. Oh and maybe a tab for PPP etc etc etc.

Cheers!

good job

Hey Keith,

Glad that you liked it and I hope that others enjoy using it as well. It is nice to know that my work putting it together is being used to help others. In fact, I have recently put another one together for the Goodman Games modules, but I'm not sure if people really need one for those, as there are only about 45 entries, so far  

Thanks Again,

Just replying to this post to remind people that this tool is here for them if they want it, especially if they make some additional purchases at GenCon

No problem Gary and I'm glad that it might be helpful for you. I wish that I had time to create more for people. My next "intended"  project is to create a complete listing of all Monstrous Compendium creatures. I know that most people here are not fond of those loose-leaf items, but I find them a great tool as I would just take the pages out that I need for the current adventure . . . just a nice reference to have.

The other project that I would like to do is create a listing of all modules that were printed in Dragon or Polyhedron magazines. I should be able to get that done fairly easily, as there are lists out there, so I would just have to copy & paste and then clean them up and sort them.

Does anyone out there have any preferences for reference material like this or are there suggestions for categories that I have not thought of

Congratulations Echohawk, that's a fine piece of work

thanks

In most of my tournament adventures (including this) I focused on best use of the published system (or minor variants thereof), and thus consciously avoided introducing new monsters or magic items.

-- da awther

Awesome, thanks very much for the help. That brings me very slightly closer to being able to declare the monster index complete. (Aside: By my count, across all editions of the game -- and including some semi-official sources like White Dwarf -- there have been 8670 different monsters published.)

Some follow up questions: S4 has a whole booklet full of monsters and magical items, but it was also significantly expanded from the original Tsojconth, so I'm not convinced that the monsters in S4 were also necessarily in Tsojconth. Heck, there are eighteen pages of new critters in S4 which is more than the total page count for Tsojconth . I'm guessing that those creatures were added as part of the expansion, but I'd like to be sure.

RPGA1 contained three creatures (Bone Golem, Haunt and Water Weird), while B7 contains those three, plus the Three Witch-Sisters (Karelena, Solorena, Trilena). Is it therefore safe for me to assume that the trio of witches first appeared in RPGA2? If so, what pages do their stats appear on?

Oooh, oooh... and while I have the attention of the experts, were there any creature stats included on the cards that came with the D&D candy? And does anyone have either Quest for the Dungeonmaster (1984) or the Dragon Quest Game (1992)? I think those are the only remaining D&D products that I haven't had an opportunity to check for monsters.

(And of course, I'd still love to know the page numbers for the three critters in ST1.... )

Copy sent. It is quite a large file (about 2Mb), so let me know if you have any trouble receiving it and I'll make another plan.
