[QUOTE="1Mac, post: 6476789, member: 48998"] Intriguing! The price point on Heroforge is a big turnoff for me, so a cheaper version of the basic idea is definitely attractive. The current website is a bit clunky, but I think it's basically useable. Some suggestions: -Heroforge has various ways of easing choice paralysis. "Races", "Archetypes", and "Outfits" are just different collections of presets that you can apply and play around with. So if you know you want an armored fighter, you can load the "knight" outfit as a place to start, then modify it as you see fit. Some options like this would be easy to add, I imagine, and make the site much easier to jump into. -Some different body types would be great. "Thin" (for elves, aliens, and non-muscly heroes) and "small" (for children, halflings, and other small races) come to mind. -Similarly, some other scales would be terrific. I see you have larger scales in consideration as stretch goals; I suggest smaller scales as additional options. 20mm (1/72) and 15mm (ca. 1/100) scales have become increasingly popular in both fantasy and scifi (15mm scifi is especially big). I'm a weird partisan for 1/72 fantasy, so perhaps I'm overstating things, but it seems to me that one advantage of 3D-printing manufacturing is that the same model could theoretically be made in any size, so I imagine the technical requirements for more scales are not complicated. I'm not the one organizing a 3D printing Kickstarter, though, so maybe I'm talking nonsense :). -Specific items: Capes (as "back" clothing), books, orbs, wands, other wizardly implements. [/QUOTE]
