Dungeon Index

[Dagobert]

Erik,

In your response to the last letter of this month's Prison Mail (Dungeon #138), you ask what we think about a printed index of Dungeon adventures.

I am completely against it! Not only would it take up space in the magazine, it would be out of date the next month!

What I would like is an online index that is updated each month. Just the basic information for each adventure would be enough: Adventure title, Author, Artist, Cartographer, Setting, Level, Terrain type, and teaser text.

The user would have to be able to sort by fields at least. A searchable database would be better.

For an encore, we desparately need a similar index for Dragon. Of course, that would be an even bigger challenge.

Here's to 20 more years!

Corrections to my post: after further reading, i.e. turning the page, I realize it wasn't the last letter of Prison Mail. The letter is captioned, "Dungeon Life List". And I should be addressing myself to the new Dungeon editor, James Jacobs.

Must admit, I was rather disappointed when the index wasn't in the latest issue.

At the very least, I'd like to see the index appear in a special online supplement. Even if this was updated every six months it would be great! Please find the space for the 16 pages in some pdf as soon as you can.

Dagobert is right though, a searchable resource available on the site would be ideal.

I still haven't recieved my copy of 138 (probably Paizo's compensating for my last Dragon appearing the day after it shipped ;) ). What was the context for the question?

Personally, I wouldn't mind a printed index during a key issue (#150, maybe) and then an annual update of the last year's issues. Every few years, do another complete index. Have a regularly updated online index for completeness.
