Spring 2012

IntroductionWelcome to the first issue of A Monster For Every Season, my

attempt to create a comprehensive set of printable miniatures for your fantasy gaming needs in four installments. As the name implies, each set will be themed to one of the seasons, more or less, with the hope that at the end, we’ve covered all the major monster (and adventurer) groups.

As the Spring installment, this first set was inspired mostly by the green trees outside my window. It features an assortment of woodland creatures, from animals to monstrous plants, plus centaurs, fey, and other forest-dwellers. Alongside them, you’ll find their defenders: druids and rangers, in all the major demihuman races. And then, for this quarter’s humanoids, I stuck with the green theme: goblins, orcs, and trolls round out the set.

Most of the pages contain one of each type of monster, but at the end of the document, there are six pages of “Legion Sheets;” pages that contain multiple copies of the basic troops for humanoids that are typically encoutnered in groups. That way, you don’t have to print a page five times because you want five orc warriors.

Next time, it’ll be Summer, which means it’s time for sun, sand, and surf! Or—as they’re known in monster circles—fire-based, desert-themed, and aquatic creatures. See you then!

Instructions

Step 1Once you’ve printed the pages you want, cut out each miniature along the edges of the black rectangle that encloses each one (not on the light grey lines).

Step 2Cut the black lines that run through the two grey circles at the top and bottom of each miniature.

With these simple instructions, you should be able to assemble the miniatures in this document in no time.

What You’ll Need• A pair of scissors.• A penny (or any easily available coin

with a diameter around 1.9 cm)• Tape; standard transparent office tape

will do, but so will any other tape with a width of about 0.75 inches (1.9 cm).

• A sheet of paper printed with the miniatures you want to assemble.

Regular copier paper will hold up for one or two sessions, but if you plan on resuing them week after week, try printing on heavier paper stock. Photo paper or cardstock works nicely.

If you’re using thin paper, you may want to skip this step. It may make the finished mini too flimsy.

Assembly Instructions

Instructions

Step 5Take a penny and put it in the middle of a piece of tape about 2 inches (5 cm) long.

Step 6Thread the piece of tape (sticky side down) through the end of the tent until the penny rests about where the grey circle is printed on the miniature. About a half inch of tape should stick out of each end of the tent.

Step 3Fold each miniature along the grey lines, creasing it inward, away from the printed image. There should be three folds, all fac-ing the same direction: one in the middle, and one on each side beneath the feet of the illustrated character.

Step 4Partially unfold the miniature so that the two grey circles on either end overlap. Fit the cut tabs together. You should have a tiny tent-like shape.

Obviously, if you skipped Step 2, you don’t need to worry about the cut tabs now!

Instructions

Step 7Fold the exposed ends of the tape down and around and stick them to the bottom of the tent. Press the tape down all over so it sticks.

Step 8Done! Enjoy your paper miniature!

MountsMonsters that can serve as mounts have two additional lines near the top of the tent. In order to make the mount ridable, carefully cut the black line on both sides, then fold in on both grey lines.

The cross-section of your miniature should look like a trangle from the front and the letter “M” from the back.

Now you’ve created a ledge that should support one regular-sized miniature!

What we said about paper weight goes double for mounts! If you’re planning on using a mount for more than one session, print it on heavy paper.

Assembly Instructions continued

Minis for different sized monsters—like the riding boar pictured here—may use more than one penny, but the principle is the same. But some monsters use smaller dimes (10¢) or larger quarters (25¢) instead. Don’t worry, they’re marked!
