Looking for Story Engine/Maelstrom material

Folks, PIG recently acquired the rights to Story Engine and Maelstrom Storytelling. I know that there were quite a few conversions and plug-ins created for it back in the day, as well as discussions regarding it here. I'm trying to locate them now to make available in a common place (the Politically Incorrect Games Collaborative--sort of like a wiki). Can you please contact me if you have, know where to find, or know who to contact for various bits and pieces for Story Engine/Maelstrom. I'd love to get this free content available to the public again. You can use the
contact form
on the PIG website (sorry, the form is necessary due to spam). Much appreciated.
The official info regarding the change in IP is below.

PIG Brings Story Engine Back!
Politically Incorrect Games (PIG)
is pleased to announce that it has acquired the intellectual property rights to the
Story Engine
and
Maelstrom Storytelling
roleplaying products originally created and published by Hubris Games.
Story Engine
is a set of universal rules that were designed to run story-based games without the vestiges of wargaming that shackle so many other "storytelling" games. Its relative rather than linear scale accommodates everything from gothic and film noir settings to heroic fantasy and super-heroes. Action is resolved in whole scenes and can turn crucial moments into dramatic scenes. Both dice and diceless play is supported, and coupled with its innovative mechanics, Story Engine adapts seamlessly to any genre, providing fluid and fun games that focus on story and not the rules.
Maelstrom Storytelling
presents a world of shifting realities, all tied together by one consistent storm. Home to alien cultures, Leonardan magic, gunpowder and pseudo-science, the game caters to different styles of play. From piracy on the high seas of the Outer Crescent to illegal duels at the Queen's Amphitheater, this setting touches on magic, science, and the world of dreams. Maelstrom Storytelling is a stand-alone game or can be used as a sourcebook for Story Engine.
Story Engine is now available once again in PDF format, and Maelstrom Storytelling and its supplement Dacartha Prime are planned for re-release in PDF format shortly. While PIG has plans for further development of both products, the specific announcements are to be made at a later date.
Incorporating one of the first e-publishing RPG companies, Politically Incorrect Games is known for its diverse line-up of clear and concise roleplaying games, and its commitment for developing new ways of working with downloadable content. PIG's current game lines include genreDiversion games such as HardNova 2 and Coyote Trail for low-cost, ready-to-play entertainment; Iron Gauntlets for customizable heroic fantasy gaming; Active Exploits Diceless for universal diceless roleplaying with that familiar 'dice' feel; Two-Fisted Tales for thrilling pulp action; Rune Stryders for mixing fantasy and magic with living machines; and more.
