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! :lol:

...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.

I'm glad they have ditched the idea of having new power cards in the mini packs.

Hmmm....thanks for pointing that out. I must have delusional vision.

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.
