Been making some counter sheets for the modules. Since i don't remember the official 1E base standards, I went with circle inside of square. For size, I went with my favorite standard, Small= 3/4"[close to 20mm], medium = 1"and most large 1.5" {close to 40mm]. I have a hunch that mediums might be better on 3/4", but was not sure about that.
Ready to print Counter sheets - DM's Eyes only - Major spoilers
If anyone has suggestions for more, speak up. Speaking of, does anyone want the large grey oozes, carrion crawlers & antlion as 1"x2" cavalry base units rather than 1.5" square / round units in the above counter sheets?
Here is a 1st edition bandit encounter. Should have enough warm bodies for the maximum number encountered in 1E. The missing tokens are the 7th level Lieutenant, the Commander, the wizard and the horses [ working on the horses ATM].

I notice in many cases you have already done this!
I am fairly sure each one of the bandits are unique. The base bandits are told apart by their lurid clothing colours though so anyone who is color blind may have some trouble.

Basing standard for these is the older human mini = 20mm base.
here is a counter sheet for Juiblex along with the slimes that accompany It. Extra counters are included since grey oozes/black puddings vary in size by HP and since ochre jellies/black puddings can split. Of interesting note, ochre jellies only split by lightning in 1E.
Do you print these on regular paper? How do you get that 'hard back' quality to them? Otherwise, they're just pieces of paper (easily disturbed) on the battlemat?
I've found that printing out the counters and templates on normal paper then sticking them onto the sticky side of a cheap self stick vinyl tile makes a very solid backing.
I have a special request that I've left a little late.
I'm running a one-off game on Saturday morning that features plenty of Azer - would you, by any chance, be able to rustle up a sheet of fiery dwarves for me?
I'm also going to be using some Firelashers, and with WotC putting up the MM1 pictures on their site I wondered if you'd be able to grab those and turn them into counters, too?
It'll need to be done by 4.30pm UK time on Friday, as that's the last chance I really have to print it off at work. Sorry again for the short notice!
I also need to say thank you for the Fire Giants, fiery dogs and other counters that I've used form this thread!

Here is an experiment i wanted to try... An undead demon from a late 90's FPS game. it has more detail than what will shrink easily with a 96 dpi .png file. Select "No Scaling when printing.
Those are fantastic, thank you. And extra thanks for getting it done at short notice.
I'll post again to this thread on Monday and let you know how it went with them.

Just dropping in now to say it went really well, and the counters were a big help.
I was able to use the Fire Titan figure that one of my players brought with them as a Fire Giant, and he made a great centre-piece, but having those counters around made the whole game a lot better.
Thanks again.

The Macho man fire titan is a nice mini. I've considered getting one, but i have a lot of fire based minis already. [all kidding aside, I've always advocated using wrestling action figures for giants]
Enworllder Totte has posted several free adventures here. Here are some countersheets to go with the adventures. spoilers follow
frankthedm, your Spire of Thunder sheet isn't working any more. I'm just about to run my group into a bunch of gnolls, and the sheet isn't there. Ack.
If you can pull off a repost in the next 50 minutes it'll be a miracle. Otherwise, I'll gladly use Orc figures instead, and tell them they're gnolls.

Frank,
Greetings again! Can i put in another request: Objects!
Chairs, tables, trees, thorny shrubs, rocks and boulders. Maybe flour or grain sacks, whiskey barrels, whatever u can find!
And one more: Elemental and fantasy-themed walls (wall of fire, water, ice, shadow, skulls).
And just one more : magic circles, pentagrams, mushroom circles?
Thank in advance for being able to deliver on one or more of these unusual requests,
WCPfish
