One of the things I love about Dungeon is the fact that it gives me a sense of what might be going on "down the road a piece" in my campaign world. One of the fun results of that is being able to yank one of the newly introduced creatures with a sense of where it came from and what others of its kind are doing.
However, keeping track of what issues of Dungeon creatures were introduced in, and what setting they were described in can be a bear.
To fix that, I've written up an index of all of the "new monster" sections from all of the issues of Dungeon that I have (basically, the AoW issues, a few from the teens and 103). As I borrow or buy more issues, I'll try to complete the table, but I thought that others would be able to make some use of it, so here it is:
http://www.ajs.com/ajswiki/Dungeon_creature_index
This isn't a replacement for getting the issues, since there are no details or stats other than CR for each of the creature names, but if anyone officially associated with Dungeon feels that my use of the names for an index is a problem, please feel free to let me know here, on my wiki or via email (you have all of my contact info), and I'll modify it as required.
The only thing I've done that's a bit questionable is calling the "setting" for some of the adventures "Greyhawk" when it was listed as "Any" in the magazine. I do this when specific Greyhawk settings or NPCs are used in the adventure, and not because I'm trying to assert anything about the (in)correctness of the labeling in the magazine.

If you are interested, I have done something similar already. I have created a database (of sorts) in excel that has every 3.X creature that I could get my hands on from every official sourcebook and Dungeon or Dragon Magazines. To give you some idea about how extensive this is, there are 159 templates and 2,500 different creatures. If you (or anyone else) would like a copy of this, shoot me an email to moffrimmer (at) viafamily (dot) com. Put in the subject line "Creature List" or something similar so I don't just delete it. My list includes creature type, subtype, size, CR, alignment, source and a few other things.
