the-finished-book reviews and mentions

• I compared over 2,000 official and popular homebrew monsters to see how true to the source material our community’s creations are (Part 1).
  1 project | /r/UnearthedArcana | 31 Jul 2023

  I also research WotC monster design. If you want to use any of the data I've compiled, you can find an anonymized version of it here (book and page number instead of monster names). It includes monsters, including DPR calculations, for all but the most recent books WotC has published.

• Monster Stat Database
  1 project | /r/dndnext | 10 Jul 2023

  I run analysis on monsters and features similar to what you're describing, e.g., this Stunning Strike analysis. I include all of the data I use in my analysis on GitHub. It's not a fully exhaustive list of every monster and stat, but it's pretty comprehensive.

• Jeremy Crawford at the Creator Summit: "The CR Calculation Guide in the DMG is wrong and does not match our internal CR calculation method."
  1 project | /r/onednd | 5 Apr 2023

  Thanks for the feedback! I'm making the plots using Plotly in Python via Jupyter notebooks. I've been meaning to add a full summary of the full dataset I'm analyzing, but it's been hard getting the motivation to do that when there are other, more interesting things to put my time into. In the meantime, the full source code for the site and the calculations for each post can be found on github.

• Monster Manual SRD creature types and their CR
  1 project | /r/DungeonMasters | 28 Mar 2023

  I'm using Plotly via Python to make the plots. It generates an HTML file that I upload to the site. It's not great for sharing the data with people quickly or casually, but it works well for what I want to do with it. Here's a link to the notebook I used to generate the monster saving throw plots.

• Dungeons & Dragons R Package - Feedback Requested!
  4 projects | /r/DnD | 19 Sep 2022

  Very cool. I don't use R much, but I like both DnD and data analysis and I appreciate the time and effort you've put into this. I've been doing my analysis in Python. My code is mostly in Jupyter notebooks scattered around my GitHub repository, but I'm hoping to consolidate it into a proper module sometime soon.

• GitHub pages vs. WordPress.org - thoughts?
  1 project | /r/github | 26 May 2022

  I built a site using GitHub pages. You can find the source code here, and here's a link to the site if you're interested (it's mostly about the math behind combat in Dungeons and Dragons).

• Blog Megathread - Tell us about your blog
  1 project | /r/DnDBehindTheScreen | 4 Feb 2022

  My site, The Finished Book takes an analytical look at DnD 5e. I've recently added new section that digs into the math and theory behind 5e's mechanics.

• [OC] Graphed the CR versus calculated CR for 94 monsters.
  1 project | /r/DnD | 26 Jan 2022

  I've calculated CRs for most of the published monsters, which you can read about here. The post mostly focuses on the bigger picture statistics, and less on how individual monsters performed. If you're interested in that, though, you can get the raw data from this github page.
