Introduction
This page is home to some tools I've written that I hope will be of use to both ADLG players and tournament organisers.
The tools utilise a database I prepared from the latest ADLG V4 lists (published April 2021).
What do the tools do?
- Simple search: search lists by terrain, period and sub-period. Download results as csv files for posting online.
- Complex search: search lists by terrain, date, period and sub-period. Searches can be layered to fine tune lists. Ideal for tournament themes.
- Format searches: prepare saved searches (from both tools) for pasting online etc.
- List writer: create and edit a list whilst viewing all the basic list information before printing out a formatted list on paper or as a pdf.
The complex search and list writing tools must be used with Google Sheets because they don't work with Excel or equivalent.
Online tools
| Tool | Version | Date |
| Simple search | v1.00.01 | 09 June, 2026 |
| Format searches | v1.00.01 | 09 June, 2026 |
Tools to download
| Tool | Version | Date |
| Complex search | v4.02.03 | 17 January, 2026 |
| List writer | v4.04.03 | 07 June, 2025 |
The links above create a copy in your Google Drive (Sheets). After using the list writer save your list with the "File | Make a copy" command in Sheets.
Limitations
- Split lists: ADLG lists are compound lists and many needed to be split into sub-lists simple enough for inclusion in the database.
- Human error: the tools & the database involved a lot of work, manual data entry and some fiendish spreadsheet formulae.
Despite extensive testing, and regular use, there may still be the odd error. If you find any please leave the details in the comments.
Notes
- 07 Feb, 2026 - all previous versions removed.
- 09 Jun, 2026 - new online search & formatting tools added.
