Rich vein for a show, great stuff. Some suggestions to your already excellent list: Forbidden Lands' _Book of Beasts_ , Raging Swan Press' _Dread Thingonomicon_ and _All That Glimmers_ . I enthusiastically second the recommendation of Skerples' _The Monster Overhaul_ . I'm looking forward to seeing what I can adapt from Goodman Games' _Dungeon Denizens_ when it arrives (soon). Speaking of settings (and DiTerlizzi), 2E Planescape was/is a mad masterpiece. I think it's the only official setting that can fit the superheroic power curve of D&D 2014/2024. However, I'm skeptical Shadowdark's lower power "dials" would support the high fantasy Ptolus setting. All praise for _Dark Sun_ man, my favorite published setting as well ( _Dolmenwood_ a close second).
I agree that Ptolus's high fantasy setting doesn't quite mesh with Shadowdark's feel, but the concept of a city on top of a never ending series of dungeons does work. Not that you couldn't put any other city overtop the dungeons. Really wanna go back to Dark Sun again soon.
I love funnels! But then again I love my monthly DCC game and we play mostly funnels. An easy way to keep track of who’s character is who’s is by using color coded tokens under the mini’s bases. It helps us a lot. :)
100% recommend the Monster Overhaul by Skerples. It is the only OSR monster book I use anymore!

@@CrawlClub when you do funnels do you have minis for all of the characters then?
@@Living4Crits I do. I always carry a box of peasants and PC minis to share with the table.
