I am using OpenOffice.org to create these rules and modules. Below are links to the rules, supplements, and other goodies in OpenOffice.org format and in Adobe Acrobat format. Take the Adobe Acrobat PDF file if you don't have OpenOffice.org installed. There are a few items only available in one or the other format. Some items have been submitted in other formats; such items are noted below where they appear.

Items marked "Under Construction" are substantially incomplete; a few of them are not actually available for download at this time (due to the fact that they are being "alpha" playtested, and I don't want to give away any secrets to the players). Items marked "Playtest Edition" are fundamentally complete but not yet adequately tested. If you will submit a useful playtest report on any item so marked, I will be happy to add your name to the list of playtesters for the given item.
