Here is a machine-readable version of the PDF:

I converted the PDF into a machine-readable format optimized for structured search and LLM-based retrieval. Simple copy/paste from the PDF is unreliable due to layout artifacts (misordered lines, collapsed columns, inconsistent spacing), and many monster stat blocks are embedded as images rather than selectable text.
During the conversion, I also standardized and corrected a few items, including but not limited to:
-
Youth Hag stat block: The original labels the Youth Hag as “Large construct, neutral.” I revised this to “Medium fey, neutral evil” as a default interpretation consistent with the creature’s concept. My assumption is that stealing years from others is an evil act; adjust the alignment as you prefer, but I set it this way to avoid surprises at the table.
-
Tables: I converted tables to TSV (tab-separated values) for consistent parsing and easy export.
-
Stat blocks: These are now clean and modular, making them easier to edit, remix, and fine-tune.
I used Markdown for clarity, portability, and better downstream performance with LLMs.
I made this conversion because I like The Erotic Arcana, and in my view it is among the strongest resources in its niche.
Happy Holidays!
