Some of you long-time board members might remember a thread that brainstormed a concept - a place where DMs with little time on their hands could go and pick up a statblock for use in their game. Well, that idea snowballed into something much bigger, and I'm happy to say, after languishing in cobwebby code purgatory, DM Tools is back and better than ever.
For your perusal, here are some of the options:
1.) Over 1300 stat blocks, ranging from a CR of 1/10 to over 40. Sort by Campaign, Class, CR, Contributor, Race and Sourcebook.
2.) GENERATORS! Encounters both benign and not, Books, Demiplanes, Mercenary Jobs, Treasure, Scrolls, Spellbooks - it's here!
3.) Indices - Super-duper handy lists of classes, feats, monsters, spells (and psi powers), and "stuff" - a catch all of alchemical items, ammo, wondrous items (sorted by slot too), artifacts, cursed items, weapons, relics, rings, rods, staves, special materials - it's here.
4.) Dice Roller - need one Invisible Castle style? There's one available!
Now what does this mean for you? When you register on the site, you have the option of selecting which books you have access to, and the site will adjust its listings and generators appropriately.
This site is for D&D 3.5, and as of the time of this writing, has all non-psi, non-epic SRD material from d20srd.org, the Rise of the Runelords AP, the Pathfinder Campaign Setting & Gazetteer are included on the site (including non-OGL material from the Player's Handbook, Monster Manual and Dungeon Master's Guide). A separate site is in the works for PFRPG material.
Rewards! There is a reward system in place, based on stat blocks submitted, but I haven't quite worked out what those rewards are yet...Need more time to think about that while I work some other code kinks out.
Go forth and enjoy the DM Tools website! If you have any questions, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
Edit: Before I forget...those of you that registered on the old site, please re-register and let me know which stat blocks belong to you. A server hiccup on my hoster's side lost that information, but fortunately not the stat blocks.
Thanks Lilith!

Fantastic remodel, Lilith!
This site served me so well in a previous campaign, and I look forward to seeing the new PRPG site.
Thanks again for all your work and thanks to all of the folks who have contributed statblocks over the years.
Edit: This is going to be hard to remember which ones I threw in. ;) I've slept since then.
Hey, is there a simple way to plug s few pdf's worth of monster stat blocks into the system? I have a few ogl monster pdf's I worked on that I would like to share with the community.

Not really, I'm sorry to say.
All of the Pathfinder "Legacy of Fire" AP issues and Player's Guide were added today to the site - update your settings!
Curse of the Crimson Throne and Second Darkness material added to the site!

Got a quick question about the treasure generator. How long do you think it'll be before we start seeing other sources added to it?
As it stands I've got my books checked but I only ever as a rule see stuff from the SRD. I've also been noticing a lot of items from Pathfinder sources on there that I don't have.
Another thing regarding the treasure generator. I've been noticing some duplicate items on occasion; I'll generate treasure and get two of the exact same item, even down to scrolls. Dunno if this is intentional or not, though.
Thanks for all the great work you do for us Lilith!

As fast as my fingers can get them entered in.

It's not intentional. I'm poking the generator code to see whassup.
Pure awesomeness!!!
Will... You... Mary me?...
(LOL)
All kidding aside, that's some real useful stuff Lilith!! Thanks!

I am still wondering what Paizo is waiting for, why they didn't hire Lilith as a community manager or something similar...
Seriously.
Okay, the treasure generator is behaving itself once again (*beat* *whip* *kick* *punch*). Now I'm going through the DMG and flagging wondrous items that are also in the SRD, and adding non-OGL stuff to the lists.
Awesome stuff, Lilith!!!
I'd put in somewhere like 20-40 stat blocks. I can immediately think of some, but others may be more tricky, as I don't want to claim anything that's not mine!
Once you find them, send me an email with a link to them so I can reassign to contributors. :)
Very cool, thanks!
Edit: [Nevermind]
Liz, I sent you a message via Facebook as the support link doesn't seem to work.
Got it, updated ownership of those statblocks.
