Coming up with a proper title is a bit tricky, so if people have suggestions, I'm open for them. I'm currently running Tomb of Annihilation, and having a blast. I lack a lot of the miniatures for various monsters and just use standins from my Warhammer days, but I'll be running Curse of Strahd after this, and for that, I'd like to get miniatures that fit the monsters in the campaign, and for that I need a list of all the miniatures I will need, and how many of each type are expected to be in an encounter as a maximum.

If there's no existing list, I'll most likely go through the book myself at one point, but perhaps somebody has already compiled the list once.

Basically, I'm looking for a list of all the monsters that are in the adventure (random encounter table, dungeons, any mention of them being able to appear really), and how many of those are expected to be in an encounter at the same time.

Example:

  • Random encounter A has 10 zombies
  • Random encounter B has 5 zombies
  • Dungeon XYZ has 5 zombies in room 1
  • Dungeon XYZ has 6 zombies in the room 2, which will reinforce room 1 if the trap in room 0 was triggered

This'd sum up to: 11 zombies, because 11 zombies is the number of zombies that would exist at the same time in an encounter, regardless of how many zombies exist at a time elsewhere in smaller quantities.

Answers do not need to account for players ignoring enemies and simply pulling multiple rooms at the same time, because at that point they'll die anyway, but will need to account for specific reinforcements mentioned in the book.

Specifically, I'm looking for different miniatures. So one encounter that has 5 zombies and one encounter that has 5 skeletons is "5 zombie miniatures and 5 skeleton miniatures", not "5 whatever miniatures" because they are separate encounters.

Unique creatures can be listed with just their name, I can find a matching miniature myself for those.

Death House is included in this question, but listing those separately for people who want to run just Death House is okay.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Do the random encounters need to be predicted for? For instance, 3d6 barovian commoners is up to 18 commoner minis \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ For random encounters with random amounts, listing the maximum is fine. If you're feeling generous, adding the (3d6) is great, but it's not really needed. Can never have enough peasants. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Am I correct in assuming that you are set on using miniatures and will not be using Theater of the Mind in any of your battles? \$\endgroup\$ Jan 9, 2019 at 16:11
  • \$\begingroup\$ That's correct, miniatures for all the fights. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ I'll be starting with Death House, yeah. An answer can account for that, but does not have to. I plan to run the entire campaign eventually, so there's no need for a seperate mention for Death House, but it might help other people who plan to do the same thing and want to get their minis in batches, so adding it to an answer can be a great help to people. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Theik I still advise to double check this, I can include pages with particular encounters but other can still point where I could make a mistake, the book itself isn't small. \$\endgroup\$ Jan 11, 2019 at 9:33

    \$\begingroup\$ Yeah, I expect there might be some errors, with a book this size it's nearly impossible not to mess up somewhere, but in the worst case scenario I can just alter the encounter and edit the answer afterwards for future DMs. \$\endgroup\$
