Peter Lee talks about Modrons miniatures

[I'm A Banana]

Since the alignment structure has changed and the Great Wheel change, we may never see them again K.Midget.

YOU may never see them again, but I give them plenty of loving.

Heck, I'll pimp the Rogue Modron 4e Race linked in my sig below. Doubters should check it out and see if their interest isn't a little sparked.

I see them often. FF, MM and MMII are never far form me when playing no matter what edition, so I have all those good things including the flumph!

They made a Grell for crying out loud for DDM, why not a flumph or modron!

IF the new miniatures contained a flumph mini as a visible mini, then that would guarantee my purchase of at least a couple packs. I bet it would be a big seller!

Then they could just have modrons to counter how good the flumph packs sell and have a few stinkers in there that only hardcore fans would buy.

Has everyone forgotten that there were official 3E versions of the modrons? It was a web enhancement for the Manual of the Planes. You can download it here: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/modrons.zip

I have to agree. Greel and Grick went into MM and I will never use them. Heck, none of my friends have used in all these years playing.

Their concept is fine for a planar adventure. Even with all these alignment changes they fit the embodiment of order very well. Mechanus could be a demiplane. As for their tiny legs, heh, make Mechanus low gravity and it's done...

I wish there was a place on Wotc forums for feedback and requesting monsters... I need a low level scarecrow monster ... =/

 

[Nebulous]

Wait, wait, wait. Who the hell DOESN'T like modrons? I want to see a poll on this. Modrons are awesome. A 3pp needs to introduce "modorrons" or something then and bring them back to 4e if WotC refuses to do so.

(i like modrons better than dragonborn )

Was there ever modron minis? I can't find them anywhere in any archive.

Not to my knowledge, but they would be ridiculously easy to recreate with a lump of clay.

The picture of the triangular modron higher on this page is actually creepy i think. It's just so alien. And the Great Wheel cosmology shouldn't matter at all, modrons can be plopped into any ol' demi-plane a designer feels like with no explanation needed.

 

[avin]

Do we have polls at Enworld?

"Would you like to see Modrons on 4E?"

( ) Yes!
( ) No!

Or "Which is better: modrons or gricks?"

 

[BOZ]

that's because you would cut your junk on their sharp edges if you tried.

zing!

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

Having played through the Great Modron March (or at least a version of it, I don't know how accurate it was) I'd happily see them re-integrated, or re-introduced into 4e.

However, I can't see it happening, as the new cosmology just doesn't quite seem to fit with them for now.

He's stupid.

Could we avoid calling someone stupid for a "quote" that has no source given for it?

And could you please avoid insinuating things with quotation marks. In any event, full quote and source below.

Andy: Modrons, modrons, modrons . . . the D&D team decided early on in 3E design & development that modrons didn't reflect the direction that we wanted the game to be heading in. While there are no doubt plenty of ways to portray modrons as something other than goofy-looking polyhedrons, that's a very hard sell. The vast majority of players and DMs who see modrons think, "Oh, a sentient six-sided die with legs, that's just silly." Fair or not, it's certainly the perception we've gotten from the customers.

Quoted from Here

Granted, the statement doesn't entirely mesh with things I've heard elsewhere, but he joined the development team a bit late, so arguably he just wasn't aware of any earlier intended direction to take the game.
