My 2 cents, start with and emphasis that your offering minis.1.) Thank you. I appreciate your thoughts, as much as all of this stings. You've taken the time to post well-articulated advice, and it's much more helpful than the ridiculing or belittling of what we've been making.
2.) That is valid constructive criticism. You're saying a more focused approach would be more appealing. Makes sense. I've been trying to discern why no matter how much we've added for free, we just haven't gotten any traction.
3.) Admittedly I have not posted a lot in Enworld, but I was speaking of the broader community, I've been posting in a number of forums for years, trying to encourage newcomers to the hobby, offering painting and DMing tips, etc.
4.) Obviously I pissed off a lot of people by slamming an idea I thought was restrictive and stifling. My kneejerk reaction to fighting censorship. To me, dealing with sensitive topics through catharsis is more effective that suppressing them. But I do make a very conscious effort to protect the marginalized constantly in real life.
5.) I suppose my wording was emotional manipulation, and poor judgment on my part, in retrospect.
i personally don’t like your Cthulhu sculpt, but most of the others seem OK
