Customizable Disposable Heroes are full color, downloadable paper miniatures that can be customized through an online interface. Specify which figures are downloaded to a PDF file, as well as whether or not they are labeled and/or numbered. In addition, entire pages of duplicate figures can be downloaded, making the creation of armies a breeze. Each set is available as A-Frame Stand-ups, Tri-Fold Stand-ups, and Flat Counters. When printed, the minis are sharp and detailed (black & white figures can also be downloaded for those with older non-color printers).

Statix Disposable Heroes consist of beautifully-illustrated, ready-to-print paper miniatures in the same three formats as customizable sets but as a single, convenient download. And for those who go through armies, Statix sets give you just that–a filled sheet of each figure in each of the three formats, as well as numbering to keep track of duplicates. And if that weren’t enough, each set is done in BOTH color and black & white. In fact, each Statix set is assembled as a single, ready-to-use download via the same online system that powers the Customizable version.

Incorporating one of the first e-publishing RPG companies, Precis Intermedia is known for its diverse line-up of clear and concise games. Precis Intermedia’s current game lines include Ancient Odysseys for fantasy gaming; Two-Fisted Tales for thrilling pulp action; Brutes, New World Disorder, Warcosm, and A Fistfull of Miniatures for miniatures gaming; HardNova 2, Coyote Trail, EarthAD 2, Mean Streets, and Ghostories for low-cost, ready-to-play entertainment; Active Exploits Diceless for universal diceless roleplaying with that familiar ‘dice’ feel; Story Engine for scene and adjective-based, collaborative roleplaying; and more.

Download Story Bones Plus for Free!

Dave McAlister — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 07:15:03 +0000

Story Bones™ is the introductory version of the upcoming Classic Story Engine™ Plus, stripped to its most fundamental parts. Story Engine was born in 1996 as the rules system for Maelstrom Storytelling. It was subsequently redesigned as a universal rules system in 1999 and revised in 2001. One of the initial games to truly handle roleplaying as a storygame, Story Engine was the first to focus on scenes rather than turns–an idea that has become more and more popular over the years. Story Engine also further evolved the mechanics of adjective-based characters, an idea that had appeared in earlier games, as well as various diceless mechanics.

Arion Games and Precis Intermedia Join Forces

Dave McAlister — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:35:12 +0000

Arion Games and Precis Intermedia, two leading publishers of paper miniatures, join forces to offer their vast collections in one place. In addition to the Ennie Award-nominated Disposable Heroes(R) collection, Precis Intermedia will now also offer Arion Games’ beautifully-rendered collection for even more variety (adding all sets over time). To complete this partnership, the two publishers are slated to create joint sets, combining Arion Games’ artwork with the flexibility of Disposable Heroes’ customizable options, such as labeling, numbering, and the ability to create armies. Additionally, Precis Intermedia can also print Arion Games’ sets in full-color and ship them to you as an option.

Arion Games was formed 4 years ago, and since then has produced nearly one-hundred sets of paper miniatures, comprising over 2,100 individual figures. With a huge range covering fantasy, sci-fi, historical, modern and even fairy tales, Arion Games has something for every game. Order Arion Games’ paper miniatures via Precis Intermedia using this link.

Precis Intermedia incorporates one of the first e-publishing RPG companies and produces both tabletop and roleplaying games, as well as accessories like Disposable Heroes Paper Minis. Disposable Heroes are available in two downloadable formats, Customizable and Statix, as well as pre-printed sets.

Customizable Disposable Heroes are full color, downloadable paper miniatures that can be customized through an online interface.

Statix Disposable Heroes consist of beautifully-illustrated, ready-to-print paper miniatures in the same three formats but as a single, convenient download.
