body {margin:8px} .tr-field {font:normal x-small arial}Hello to my fellow D&D Miniatures enthusiasts! There has been a flurry of activity over at www.ddmguild.com recently. If you haven't dropped by recently, I encourage you to visit the website and enjoy several new articles and resources...

This is our tentative schedule for D&D Miniatures events: Thursday - Sunday DDM League Thursday DDM 100 Point Standard Constructed 9 AM DDM Arena Challenge 2 PM DDM Skirmish Seminar 7 PM Friday DDM 2009 Constructed Championship: Stage I 9 AM DDM...

It was intended to look something like this: I like this one MUCH better than the old Aspect figure with his unitard ;)

Yeah, I've read many comments praising the McFarlane dragons. Not a fan.

Please note the question mark. I honestly don't have the knowledge or experience to judge WotC's business practices. I like many of their products, and some I don't like. I buy the ones I like, and I don't buy the ones I don't like. That's about it.

In general, the Icons line didn't sell well enough to stay alive. Regarding Orcus in particular, there was some discussion of it at the seminar this past Gen Con. The group was asked to raise hands if anyone was interested in a gargantuan Orcus. Most people in the room raised their hands. Then...

Yeah, I guess so. There are actually nearly a dozen reasonable options, IMO, but I'm not too choosy.

Oh, okay; thanks for explaining. Personally, I'd rather have something that looks good, but that's coming from the point of view of someone who has been collecting all along and has enough dragonborn minis (given that half-dragons work fine for me). I can see why others would want something...

I guess I'll need to return that Bwah?, Joe. I honestly don't understand your point or how your post relates to mine. I agree that there has been inconsistency in quality, scale, etc. The Guard of Mithral Hall in particular is reported to hold a special place on Peter Lee's Wall of Shame.

Regarding dragonborn, it's correct that most of the first 2009 monster set (Dangerous Delves) is composed of minis from the cancelled Feywild set. At Gen Con, we were told that we wouldn't see uncommon dragonborn for a couple more sets, as it had taken time for them to be able to produce one...

Heh, I think that's nearly correct, actually. We shouldn't expect the sculpts on these minis to be any better than what we've seen for the past year or so. Not only were there no promises made about sculpts, but the figures in Dangerous Delves (and some in Dungeon Lords/Legendary Evils) were...

No problem -- thanks very much for explaining :)

Sure, to each their own; I can agree to disagree on this point. I will say that the Goblin's picture prompted several people at the seminar and online to declare it the best looking common ever produced, so at least I'm not alone in my insanity -- or is that blindness? Sometimes I can't tell ;)

Thanks for the advice. If I may offer some to you, if you're going to make assumptions about someone's motivation, attribute the best motive possible. I don't expect anyone, including myself, to blindly follow WotC's lead. I do think that WotC's new prices are in the ballpark compared to Reaper...

The photos from GoL, as well as the Goliath photo, are paint masters, not production models. I think that Goblin is pretty amazing for a common. I'm curious, which rares have you seen? I've seen the picture of the Beholder on the back of the booster, but that's it. The visibles aren't rares.

Reaper prepaints range in price from $1.99 to $6.49 each, and they don't come with any sort of card. And I'm hoping for better quality than Reaper's, but either way, it doesn't seem over the top to me. Amazon lists PHB Heroes packs for ~$8, btw.

Yep, I have to agree. DDI is well worth the money for me.

It's not a joke. I just can't announce all the details yet. Fear not!

Soon :)
