[QUOTE="PatEllis15, post: 1027194, member: 1718"] Hmmm.... Its interesting that most people on jumping on Tyr for saying that its marketed as a miniatures game, and that he use in D&D is secondary. I just went to wizards site, and see the following, from the "in the workds" section: [I]These things are really going to be an asset to just about anyone who wants to use minis in a D&D game. There's no grace period between the time you buy these minis and the time they make it through the queue to get assembled, primed, and painted. It's an instant collection of gaming accessories referenced right inside your D&D rulebooks. (The Harbingerexpansion features characters, villains, and monsters taken straight out of the three core rulebooks.) [/I] That says to me that the primary target IS the TTRPG players. Yes, there is a miniatures game, yes there will be a hardcover the will provide the uber details on using the miniatures as a stand alone game. Yet those expansion, heck even the base line game, isn't even mentioned in the "in the works" section. My point in bringing this up is to second (third? Fourth? 50th?) the notion that random assortments are NOT useful for TTRPG's. Let us buy what we need. And frankly, what I need are the specialzed monsters... these of course are the rare's and uniques, which willmake them even MORE expensive on the secondary market. I'll buy some, but I'm disappointed. Taro Sarask Pat E [/QUOTE]
