Poll #340 - Playbook Sheet Organization

when I'm in a hurry its the terrain I need first and then the diffculty, I'm not bothered about what its called lol. Chances are i'll be pronouncing it wrong anyway :)

Kevin McGregor

Alphabetical with an appendix/index listing them by terrain type and difficulty

Neil Gunfield

Yeh. Me to on this one. Whatever ends up being the book order, please include cross references by at least alpha and level! =)

Dan Streeter

That’s a pretty good point. I think the sorting by CR or Terrain is for when you don’t know what monster you want but know how tough you want it to be or where in the world you need to add a monster. I think all three are valid. Tables or lists that allow you to quickly find by your preferred search and then find it by page number

Chris Locke

Pretty sure I would already know the monster name when I was looking for this so the easiest way to find it knowing that would be to organize alphabetical by name. Any other sorting would require I know more than just the monster name, I'd have to know it's CR and/or terrain and for a lot of monsters terrain can be very flexible so by terrain type is to me going to at a minimum require another index by monster alphabetical.

Looks like difficulty is winning. So I'll probably do it organized by difficulty, then alpha.

DM Dave

Yeah, I like the color tabs idea. Good call.

DM Dave

I came here to say exactly this. Tables at the end so they can be found by terrain as well as CR.

Blue Infinity

Terrain type then alpha. When I'm throwing something together quickly, I want the monster to fir the location. If the setting is a desert, a Shambling Mound ain't what I want to find.

Frank Moore

The more I think about it using color ‘tabs’ on the edge of each page for difficulty/Terrain would help when flipping through.

Chris Locke

Table/List

Chris Locke

I like Alpha with a color coded list at back showing name/terrain/difficulty for each and page number. Like an index.

Chris Locke

Cosign. Or terrain X tier and then alpha, which is close enough given how many adventures are adjustable.

Gillian Brunet

I like the idea of difficulty, then terrain, personally. Though I see that's not an option.

Difficulty then alpha.

John Clanton

I think alpha is good - but suggest a couple concordance tables, so you have a ToC based on terrain, a ToC for creaitre type, one for CR. Those are easy tools and provide a lot of utility
