Well, with the incredible help of Reddit user /u/writerchild85, I've updated the PDFs for the original Creature Loot tables as well as adding one for Volo's and Tomb. The Volo's Guide PDF has a full crafting index, including every monster part in The Monster Manual and Volo's Guide. The Tomb PDF has all the Volo's Guide Monsters that appear in the book, instead of links like my articles.
Here are the finished products!
The Monster Manual Creature Loot
Volo's Guide Creature Loot
Tomb of Annihilation Creature Loot
I say "finished", but I'm sure I will go back and find mistakes or update language as I find errors. Fortunately, I'm keeping these on GM Binder now, which provides great support for updating these documents. I plan to keep these links up to date! And if you want ot modify them for your own purposes, you can always copy the source code and do so.
Thanks for reading! And thank you, /u/writerchild85!
I noticed that the arrangement of the text is a little broken and will be placed too far up and sometimes off the page.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback! Can you tell me where you noticed that so I can go in and fix it up?
DeleteThere's quite I bit I saw on Monster Manual. P 3, 5, 8 to start with.
DeleteThank you! Looks like it was a font issue. It's been fixed up.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Awesome content!
ReplyDeleteThe Rug of Smothering has its last item combined with the second-last item.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the catch! Fixed.
DeleteThe GMBinder version still shows the error
DeleteShoot! Okay, it should be fixed now. Thanks for checking that.
DeleteHi im looking at your document at gm binder and unfortunately the formatting is still messed up
DeleteDo you have any intention of expanding this to Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts? It's third party but I know it's fairly popular.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for creating this resource. It's going to breathe life into a campaign that is relatively low magic and make every encounter with a new creature exciting for my players. As soon as I can afford it, you've earned a new patron. <3
Thank you for your kind words! Hearing that my work has helped others with their campaigns is the highest praise.
DeleteI'm currently planning on taking a break from Creature Loot, but there will be plenty of good content here in the meantime. Once I return to this, I will probably be starting Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, so Tome of Beasts would still be a ways off. But it seems like a lot of people are interested in it, so I may have to dive in!
Oh! The Tome of Beasts would be awesome! Dragon, you are right... its 3rd party but its a great resource. Jon, excellent work on these loot charts!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! I'm glad they are getting used!
DeleteThere seems to be a misspelling on your ToA loot guide. On the cover image of it, Annihiliation should be spelt Annihilation.
ReplyDeleteGood catch! I will get that fixed.
DeleteFixed. Let me know if you don't see it!
DeleteI'm having some issues :/ When I look at the document in the browser (Firefox 59.0.3), the second column overlaps with the chapter titles (the giant letters, that is). Also, I can't seem to download the whole PDF, only pages 1-3, for some reason. Will try on another browser soon, just to make sure.
ReplyDeleteFWIW, I was talking about the first Creature Loot PDF.
DeleteThanks for the feedback. I've hearing a few people who have trouble rendering the documents in their browser. If trying a different browser doesn't work, I did post some Google drive links to Reddit.

This is amazing! Going to really enjoy using it in conjunction with Strongholds and Followers when that comes out.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad asking for more, but do you think you'll do the demon lords and elemental princes from Out of the Abyss and Princes of the Apocalypse? The loot from the 20+ CR monsters is amazing and really flavourful, and I'd love to see more.
(I'd definitely be a patron if it weren't for my status as a poor student)
I hear whispers that those monsters are going to be reprinted in the upcoming Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. So, yes! Eventually :)
DeleteAwesome! Thanks for the reply!
DeleteDo you plan on turning the Mordekainen series into a full pdf? Thank you so much for this, it is an excellent which I will DEFINITELY use
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I already have, actually! https://medievalmelodies.blogspot.com/2018/11/mordenkainens-tome-of-foes-pdf.html
DeleteThis is a great idea and resource! I have players always trying to pull pieces off their conquests for interesting uses and this is gives me a HUGE headstart! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you're still monitoring these comments, but I have a couple of questions:
ReplyDelete1) How did you decide on Survival as the knowledge check for identifying Giant and Humanoid creature loot? I feel like Medicine might be a better fit.
2) Are PCs meant to use the same skill check, and the same Loot Claim Check table, to both identify and claim loot?
I LOVE what you've done with this series. It's an excellent resource!
