This is an incredibly invaluable resource not only for creating new monsters for Shadowdark, but for porting custom monsters I've created in other OSR.
Well written and a must have for any GM or adventure creator.
Thanks for asking about the breakdown of monsters in my zine!
I included the reasoning in the intro to the zine, but for everyone reading here I included all of the monsters from the Shadowdark core rules that I referenced in the monster-making examples so it's easy to reference them. The zine was designed as an instruction manual first and the bestiary was just a bit of an added bonus!

An exact breakdown of the 46 monsters:
I might come to appreciate the reprints if you share your reasoning behind including them—e.g., do you find them particularly relevant as templates?

Hi Michael
Looking at the free GM Quickstart Guide, only 7 of the 19 reprints are included there, so it makes sense that you want your Zine to stand on its own.
I really enjoy the new monsters and the 27 pages on monster making!
Hi, just checking that the zine is meant to be printed at a5 size? (The same size as the Shadowdark core book)
Great question! The zine is digest size, 5.5x8.5 inches!
