Downloads
This is where you will find miscellaneous materials
available for viewing and/or download. Such materials are extras that are not
required to play the game or use the characters, but are useful supplements.
These might include anything from a "packet" of information such as
maps, character sheets, and location breakdowns (in the same vein as the
"A Guide to Marvel Earth" game book) to copies of comic-style
fiction stories I have written about my guys' adventures. I may also attempt
home-brewed game modules at a later time. You just never know what you're going
to get on this page. Please Note:
All materials will be
made available as soon as possible, so if a listed item isn't linked yet,
please try back later. To help avoid confusion during updates version numbers
(example: version 1.0) will be used for all materials. If the item lists a
different version number than the one you currently have, then it has been
updated. All efforts will be made to correct typographical errors, but
updates will generally include new information or corrections to other errors
(such changes are commonly called "errata") within the document.
The nature of the changes will be listed in the item description to help
users decide whether a new update is worth the download time. Generally, a
decimal point change (ex: from 1.0 to 1.1) indicates minor changes or
typographical changes. If there are major changes (ex: several new entries)
the number will change to the next whole number (ex: from 1.3 to 2.0). Articles for Download These are articles for download. Generally articles are
geared more toward information for Narrators and Players to utilize outside
the game world (whereas Roster and Packets provide information to use
in-game). Such things include advice on hero creation, general game theory,
tips and tricks, conversion, optional equipment, and more. An

(Version 1.0, 4 Pages, B&W, Text Only, 17KB) Fonts: Comic Fonts
- This is a zip file containing dozens of comics-style fonts that I’ve
gathered from across the web. Original download information (i.e. read-me
files) have been included if available. Many thanks to all the free font
sites where I found these fonts. (Version 1.0, 44 Fonts, 987KB) Hero Sheet Templates: This section contains character sheet templates in
various formats. Some are picture files that can be edited in a photo editing
program and printed to give professional-looking results. Some are document
templates so that you can make a hero sheet in Microsoft Word (or a
compatible word processor). Some are PDF files to print out and fill in with
pen or pencil. MS Word Templates: This section contains character sheet templates for
Microsoft Word 97 or later. These are templates for sheets that I made myself
and are not anything at all like the standard sheets you will find in
official Roster Books. The reason for making a template in MS Word format is
so that they can still contain pictures and text, but are more easily
modified than the image format sheets. MSHAG Character
Template v5.0 - The latest version of my MS Word template for a hero
sheet of a single character. (39KB) MSHAG
Character Spread Sheet Template v1.0 - The latest version of my MS Word
template for a spread sheet of many heroes. This is intended to put shorthand
information on many characters in one place. You may print one page and view
as a spread sheet or print it on business cards (or cut the paper into
card-sized pieces) to hand out to individual players. (24KB) Picture File Templates: While it is possible to make a graphic roster book that
looks almost identical to the official ones, this takes a great deal of
effort. It is often easier to print out the blank hero sheet and write in the
information by hand. MSHAG SAGA
Game Sheet - JPG Image - This one is a jpeg file of the official blank
hero sheet that was scanned off of the back of the Game Book. (39KB) MSHAG
SAGA Game Sheet - PDF Document - This one is a PDF of the same scan.
(197KB) MSHAG SAGA
Game Sheet - JPG Image - A variant version of the basic sheet. For the
life of me I can't remember what I did to it aside from resizing. (33KB) MSHAG
SAGA Book Style Double Game Sheet - PDF Document - This is a PDF of a
modified version of the scanned sheet. The two sheets are turned to face each
other (like a book). (176KB) Packets Available: As mentioned above, Packets are simply packets of information
about a particular group or setting, similar to the entries you might find in
the "A Guide to Marvel Earth" game book. I find it handy to print
out these files and keep them in a manila envelope to keep them all together
(literally making a "packet" of information). Typically included in
these packets are a shorthand listing of the team's roster, maps and
descriptions of the team's home or headquarters, information on and maps of
the team's usual base of operations (city, state, country, etc.), a
description of the team and its motivations, and a summary of important
events in the team's history. Some packets may have more or less information
than some other packets.

Characters Roster Book - Who wants to spend all that time and
effort creating entries for non-player characters that are going to be in and
out of your campaign? The Game Book lists a few, but I have expanded on that.
Includes entries for many of the non-heroic people your heroes will most
often come into contact with. (Version 1.0, 14 Pages, Full Color, Text Only,
80KB) Olympians
Roster Book - This roster book features the deities, demigods, and heroes
of ancient The Slayers' Guide to Supernatural Beasts - The world is
full of less-than-savory entities - like ghosts, demons, and vampires - that
are just aching to wreak havoc upon the world. What chance does a poor
innocent civilian have these days? Never fear, the world is also full of
unlikely heroes - like ditzy preppy cheerleaders - ready and willing to go
medieval on their sorry butts. This guide is designed to help these hapless
heroes on their way to becoming true slayers. (Version 1.0, xx Pages, Full
Color, Text Only) The Ultimate Guide to Adventure – Dark places,
hidden treasures, and unsolved mysteries abound. This guide will show you how
to pick up some equipment and hit the trails, scouring the world for

sad fact that the world is also full of people that would use that knowledge

most famous and common substances; cocaine, arsenic, marijuana, cyanide, and
many more. (Version 1.0, xx Pages, Full Color, Text Only) The Ultimate Guide to Equipment - The game book says
that equipment is the source of more powers than all the world's mutations
combined. I say that deserves more than two pages in the game book. Check out
this expanded guide to equipment from guns to powered armor. (Version 1.0, xx
Pages, Full Color, Text Only) The
Ultimate Guide to Martial Arts - A guide to enhanced martial arts (such
as those from Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat) and how to implement them in

159KB) Stories Available: This is where you will find comic-book-style fiction
stories starring the characters of Andrew Earth. "Comic-book-style
fiction" does not mean a drawn comic book. It means the style of writing
you would find in a comic book novelization. This is somewhat like Fan
Fiction (only using original characters), but hopefully of a higher quality
than the average fan fic. These stories are not illustrated, and will not be
unless I find an artist nice enough to volunteer his or her time (as in work
for free) to the project. In other words, don't hold your breath. Sorry, but there are no Stories available at this time. |
