Thanks!!

I guess it's now more than confirmed the "rumors" about the Avenger, and how it's definitely not the Mercykiller.

Also "It also includes rules ofr divine domains", my hope is that ti's something similar to the multiclass feats (as shown on the gladiator article).

I've got to admit, I have grown tired of not being able to see the miniatures I am purchasing. My gaming dollars are extremely limited. If I am buying miniatures for any game I want to see what they are. Don't show me some of them, show me all of them. This way I can buy the ones I want. This is part of the reason I stopped buying the DDM boosters.

It's the reason I never started. I don't do randomised collectibles. If I want something, I buy it specifically, and if you can't show me what you want to sellng me, I'm not going to buy it.

Hey, guys - send me $30 and I'll send you something. Not telling you what, though.

Can you do it cheaper that way than telling me what it is? If so, I'll consider it, depending on how bad I want the type of thing you're offering, how much cash I have available, and how many of them I can buy.

C'mon, Morrus, you're better than that. Merric's Law is quite well-known around these parts.

Umm, might one ask what is Merric's Law? I am not familiar with the term.

Merric's Law of miniatures (paraphrased):

1. Non-randomized
2. Low price per mini
3. Large selection of minis

Pick any two.

Oh, well, in that case I pick 1,* any time! I don't want random miniatures any more. I really didn't like them when they started doing them, and I really dislike them now. As long as I can see what I am getting I will figure out how to get them or what to get.

Thanks a ton, thalmin! ...Out of curiosity, did you post this because I gave you PosRep the other day, asking you to post this?

Either way, you rock!

So I take it that there will be a new Players Handbook, Adventurer's vault and Monster manual every year...

Actually, the official word is that there will probably be a new Player's Handbook, Monster Manual, Dungeon Master's Guide, <Setting> Campaign Guide, <Setting> Player's Guide, <Setting> Adventure, Dragon Magazine Annual, and Dungeon Magazine Annual each year. Additionally, we already know that there will be at least one more Adventurer's Vault and probably at least one more Draconomicon, although these could easily become annual features as well.

Of course, 4E still hasn't been around long enough for us to know how long some of those franchises will last. It's relatively easy to fill a new Monster Manual, for example, but Dungeon Master's Guides might run out of enough things to cover after three or four installments.

Excited about MM2, Divine Power, Eberron PG and maybe the AV2 if WotC has learned some lessons about balancing items better from AV1. I'm really excited to see what the Artificer looks like when it's done, after all the development time it'll have had.
