Category: The Dungeon World Tavern: New Monsters

Is there any way to get a dump of all the entries in the Monster Codex? Or a way to generate an index? Also I notice that a Google search returns pages for “all monsters created by a given profile” but I can’t find any links to these pages from the Codex itself. I wonder how Google is finding them?

Browsing brings up monsters in random order, and every time you close the page and come back you have to start again at the beginning. Given the number of entries I doubt I’ll ever manage to browse to the far end of the database! That means there are some monsters I will never see.

I could in theory find them via search, but that presupposes that I could think of what to search for. If is something new and cool that I’d never think of (which is what I am most interested in), chances are it would never come up in a search.

I would like four things:

First, random access. A mode where the entries are displayed as a scrollable list, with the ability to sort or filter based on some classification. Search results could be displayed this way as well.

Second, offline access. I have played DW while backpacking, and in places where I had a computer but no internet access. I would love to have this database available offline.

Third, a way to manage favorites. I can add favorites, but cannot un-favorite something if I accidentally click it, and there is no way to see an index of things I’ve favorited.

Fourth, the ability to add personal notes to an entry, create a variant of an entry (and have it associated). This could be part of an offline mode instead of online, its just for personal use.
