Online searchable Dungeon index


Dungeon Magazine General Discussion


Since the 30th anniversary issue didn't come through with their promised index, I made one myself (with some help from friends with data population). Visit http://intwischa.com/dungeon/ for an index of issues 82-139, complete with level ranges, setting, and notes.

The project is in beta, and I have a number of features I want to implement over the next few months. However, I'm happy to implement other requests--please drop by my forums at http://intwischa.com/forums/ to let me know what you think!

(And, dear Paizo legal staff, please don't sue me for borrowing your adventure descriptions! :))


A downloadable index (excel spreadsheet) is available at:

http://www.mythosa.net/Utils.html

It is from Issue 100 onwards (ie. 3.5) but is very nice.

I'm sure you have worked quite hard on that spreadsheet, but it is just a pain to use. What is it with people using spreadsheets for databases? It's the square peg, round hole syndrome. Spreadsheets are just not made for databases.

I agree.

That's why I created the online index, which is database-driven.

Thanks for the effort. The database is cool. I'd find it even more useful if I could search by terrain type (thier urban, wilderness, etc descriptors).

Thanks for the feedback! I'm trying to keep a list of popular requests at http://intwischa.com/forums/; this one is definitely up there! As I write, I'm also populating back issues; I had a former Dungeon author stop by the site today and say that he only uses Issues 1-81 :)

Keep the recommendations coming. I've put a lot of work into this, but I want it to be useful--i.e.: I'll put a lot more work into it to keep people happy :)

This is very, very nice, probably one of the best online indexes that I've seen. I would recommend the following:

1. Ability to Search by Author.
2. Identify the adventures as part of the AP or Campaign Arc.
3. Identify any sequels
4. Alphabetize staring with "A" instead of "Z."

Otherwise, I really like what I see; I'm adding this to my bookmarks as soon as I get home. BTW, I pretty much have issues 1-fiftysomething at home, if you need any assistance.

This will come as soon as I put author data in. Soon, I hope! :)

This should be included in the notes--try using the filter "Age of Worms," and you should get the appropriate adventures.

Hmm... perhaps I could hyper-link through sequels. I'll file this one away!

It does by default--if you click on a column header, it will re-sort in the opposite direction (try sorting by issue number, setting, etc...)

One of my coming features will be the ability for other to update, so I might call on you to do some of the older issues. Please come to http://intwischa.com/forums/ to continue this discussion; I'll post your suggestions there, and I'd like to keep in touch!

Thanks,

The Dungeon Index at http://intwischa.com/dungeon/ now has issues from #1 through #139. Now that I'm done with data entry, I'm going to start adding some of the cool features people have been suggesting.
