Table of Contents

Welcome 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, weve 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,
youll find their defenders: druids and rangers, in all the major
demihuman races. And then, for this quarters 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 dont have to print a page five times because you
want five orc warriors.
Next time, itll be Summer, which means its time for sun,
sand, and surf! Oras theyre known in monster circlesfirebased, desert-themed, and aquatic creatures. See you then!

Introduction

With these simple instructions, you should be able to assemble the

miniatures in this document in no time.

What Youll Need

A pair of scissors.

A penny (or any easily available coin

with a diameter around 1.9 cm)

Spring 2012

Assembly Instructions

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.

Step 1

Once youve 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).

Cut the black lines that run through the

two grey circles at the top and bottom of
each miniature.
If youre using thin paper, you may want to skip this
step. It may make the finished mini too flimsy.

Instructions

Step 2

Step 3

Fold each miniature along the grey lines,

creasing it inward, away from the printed
image. There should be three folds, all facing the same direction: one in the middle,
and one on each side beneath the feet of
the illustrated character.

Spring 2012

Assembly Instructions continued

Step 4

Partially 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 dont need to
worry about the cut tabs now!

Step 5

Take a penny and put it in the middle of a

piece of tape about 2 inches (5 cm) long.

Thread 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.

Instructions

Step 6

Step 7

Fold 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.

Spring 2012

Assembly Instructions continued

Step 8

Done! Enjoy your paper miniature!

Minis for different sized monsterslike the riding
boar pictured heremay use more than one penny,
but the principle is the same. But some monsters
use smaller dimes (10) or larger quarters (25)
instead. Dont worry, theyre marked!

Mounts

Monsters 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.

Now youve created a ledge that should

support one regular-sized miniature!
What we said about paper weight goes double for
mounts! If youre planning on using a mount for
more than one session, print it on heavy paper.

Instructions

The cross-section of your miniature

should look like a trangle from the front
and the letter M from the back.
