Battlesystem-Style Counters: Heavy Foot (Humans)
I'm making a project to make these kinds of counters like the old battlesystem box had. I first saw them on eBay, not knowing where they were from, and after a bit of research discovered their origins.
These ones here are a basic clone of one of the human counters, renamed to the OD&D/Chainmail troop type. I've made a few with other weapons than swords, but they aren't in counter sheet form yet. This sheet is B/W only for ease on printers. Just print (centered), glue to cardstock, and cut along the lines.

d6 Die Drop Insta-Dungeon
Instructions: Roll two d6's on a sheet of paper. Draw a corridor between them, read the numbers on the dice for special rules. Corridors that overlap form an intersection ( or overlap in the Z axis, if you can handle that. ) Corridors are 1d3 x 10ft wide and 1d3 x 10ft tall, rooms are 2d3 x 10ft tall. Or you can just assign them heights/widths.
when dice roll the same number, creates a room instead of an intersection
1's square ( d6+1 x 10ft to a side )
2's rectangle ( d6+2 x 10ft one pair of sides, d6+1 x 10ft the other )
3's circle ( d6+1 x 10ft radius )
4's star ( d6 points, d6+2 x 10ft radius. a 1-pointed star is a triangle or teardrop, a 2-pointed star is a rhombus )
5's roll twice, combine them. the second is offset 1d6 x 10ft from the first ( but they have to connect )
6's extra large room. roll again, adding 1d6+1 x 10ft to the dimensions
if either is 1-2, the corridor/room has a special feature, determined by the other die
Special feature
1 monster
2 monster and trap
3 monster and treasure
4 trap ( 3/6 chance of it being on door(s) )
5 treasure and trap
6 other. roll on Extra Special Features
Extra Special Features
1 unguarded treasure ( 4/6 chance of it being hidden )
2 trick ( statue, pool, altar, etc. )
3 prisoner, possibly friendly
4 stairs/pit/slide down
5 rival adventuring party
6 other; roll on Super Special Features
Super Special Features
1 portal to another plane ( Hell, Vietnam during the war, Carcosa, DM choice really )
2 elevator / teleporter ( down/up several dungeon levels, or even to some remote location on the surface )
3 exotic rival adventuring party ( martians, 1920s investigators, lizardmen, go nuts )
4 avatar of: a god / demon lord / other super-powerful being ( come up with a reason they're there )
5 wrecked piece of advanced machinery ( space ship mostly embedded in the rock, rusted upside down tank, half a flying saucer )
6 roll again. if that's also a 6 then there's an artefact in this room. if you can't handle that then make it a talking magic sword or space marine armor or something

Blood & Treasure Character Sheet
I made a comprehensive character sheet for John Stater's Blood & Treasure.
Here are the links to it in both .odt and .doc format. Download it because google docs make it look screwy and uneditable. To open an odt file you need either OpenOffice or LibreOffice, which are like Word but free.

New Magic Item: Plate Armor of Obscenenities
This expertly engraved plate armor is covered in pictograms of profanities and rude hand gestures. Whenever an enemy misses the wearer with a melee attack, one of the pictograms is activated. This causes a vibration to shake through the striker, and a shout of a random insult to echo form the armor, requiring the foe to make an immediate morale check. Each suit is crafted with 50 pictograms, but a found suit may have 2d20, at GM discresion.
