D&Di Compenium and Dungeon and Dragon Magazines


4th Edition


Is the Compendium supposed to start collecting monsters released via Dungeon and Dragon magazine? I ask because it took me forever to sort through all of the Dungeon and Dragon articles I have to find the "Arcane Ballista" monster I wanted to use for my next adventure.

The compendium would have been nice to just search through and find it...


I'm not sure if the Compendium will hold monsters at all, but I do believe it is intended to carry material from Dungeon and Dragon (likely more from Dragon than Dungeon, but we'll see)

If I ever went to Gleemax I'd try asking there. I'm not sure if any "official" personages read this board anymore (its always been light and this isn't an especially friendly place for them, unfortunately) and I don't think I've ever seen one of the DDI guys over here.

Cheers! :)

Today I developed an index for all (I think...) of the Monsters that have been released via the Dungeon and Dragon online magazines.

Check it out here: D&Di Monstrous Compendium

In addition, if anyone notices any errors, or monsters I missed, lemme know!


Monsters are definitely not part of the Compendium, which is restricted to character options.

Welcome to DDI.

And that's just the start.

Well, I'm going to keep this updated then and post it regularly for all to use.


I've updated the Index.
