why not just buy a print directly from him and he will get more of the money and it bypasses WOTC.

Dark Sword Miniatures does just that, an Elmore series that also evokes the old Partha Elmore minis

I believe that was the intent.

Yeah a lot of folks think they are the same company but WOTC would have needed to sign off on it.

So are you saying that he has no say in his artistic intent and expression? To an extent there is interpretation but also understanding the intent behind a piece of art is actually extremely important to the interpretation. He is allowed to express that intent and disagree with a major change to...

I already have it reserved!

So my understanding with mini companies is that outside of GW its been slowly slowing down. Sales still up but receding. Some want to blame 3D printing on it but that is such a small and niche market that I doubt it at this point. Reaper is doing well but Otherworld is bowing out as the owner...

We have been on hold from illness and now a honeymoon but it's going great. At the wedding we were all laughing and talking about the campaign and may have snatched up a couple new players.

That was toy sales related, Marvel Legends, Black Series and the D&D toyline performed extremely poorly after the pandemic while gaming was actually up and the only solid performer. D&D's current slump is new edition related and standard, probably written into expectations.

GF9 did an unpainted set as well.

OH yes, Amazon isn't a monopoly when you actually examine what is sold and how many third party retailers are actually selling. Amazon would essentially fall under "resource" as those sellers are considered independent businesses. They make up the majority of what is sold on Amazon.

Oh it is a lot more than that, in some cases it's exactly the same network.

I'm pleasantly surprised by Marvel's new game doing decently, I had thought it was a weaker game sales wise but seems to be holding its own.

Why does the Tiefling look like the guy that hosted VH1's The Pick Up Artist?

My key point is this isn’t a trial so back off. I expressed an opinion you disagreed with so I don’t see why you have this need to take me to the shed because you took umbrage with my opinion. Now you’ve wasted a lot of words on a web site at someone who has no interest in discussing this with...

Let's be honest though, 1e needed to happen because OCR had quickly become a confusing mess. The Paladin Class, for example, was hidden in Greyhawk as a comment on updates with the Fighting-man and the combat system that was becoming default was in Greyhawk, the rules relied on games owned by...

Again I didn't blame the artists, I mentioned the art director. Have a good day.

I blame the art director. Welcome to my ignore list.

preference does not preclude prejudice. Never put words in someone’s mouth. I think they are talented artists working in a preferred house style which is why I compared it to Continuity Comics, where Neal Adams trained artists for comics work. The art direction is what I am discussing. While I...

It's been a decade... that's not a cash grab especially when the 5e books still dominate sales charts. They don't NEED to grab cash. It's an opportunity to revise what "didn't work" and release new books to coincide with the anniversary of D&D. 3.5 and 4e were cash grabs, Essentials was an...
