[QUOTE="DamionW, post: 2721154, member: 18649"] If we're not intended to use their brand miniatures in conjunction with the RPG, why is the RPG rules system formatted to use the 1inch-to-5foot conversion, references are made to squares, and a battlemat included with the core rules? We all know that the RPG intends the use of miniatures. Yes, with research you can uncover crystal castle and other brands of miniatures, but we're just putting our heads in the sand. WotC made a conscious choice to make the minis collectible such that if you start playing the RPG with 3.5 rules, you're encouraged to buy their minis. When you do buy their minis, they want you to convert into the format of their primary market, and become a collector. They want you to support them by becomming addicted to their "plastic crack". I feel there should be some format of customer support instead; meeting the basic needs of the RPG. You want me to use your brand instead of crystal keep's brand? Fine. Stop trying to make me into a collector de facto. Just provide a product to meet my basic needs. [/QUOTE]
