Adventure Sets (ie. KotS) of Minis...anyone?

Reworked some of the sprite counters for the shady castle. More counters here. Requests are welcome.

As I recall, WotC tried this before (pre-DDM). I believe that one of the two sets didn't sell very well (City of the Spider Queen) and the other was canceled because of lack of pre-orders (Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil).

Weren't these offered some years after the modules themselves, thus guaranteeing that any interest had long since dried up? Also, didn't the sets include incomplete rosters of the monsters in the modules?

Oh, and didn't "Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil" kinda suck?

While it sounds like an interesting idea, it seems to have such a low interest threshold that it isn't economically feasible to do. Think about it, the target is not just DMs that have the module. It's also only those who use minis and who would be interested in buying them in one big lot. Personally, I might fit the first two categories, but since I have plenty of DDM figures, I would only want to get those I'm missing.

I could be mistaken but those were part of the chain mail miniatures line or at least the same scale. Unpainted, unassembled and for a specific module set in a specific campaign.

Heck, if Fiery Dragon can keep on the ball like they did with the first adventure, they could probably charge a fee for such counters in the future.

We're waiting for the GSL, like everyone else, so stay tuned if you want quality counters.
