[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5428117, member: 6667746"] He was moved to board games I think, so he might be designing game pieces or old-school unpainted plastic minis to go in board games. I stopped buying DDM long ago when 4th edition was the model and the game was killed. The random method got old for me with Mage Knight and for D&D it wasnt helpful since the most needed minis were often rares as a money grab to force people to buy more boosters and have tons of crap you had no real use for for RPGs and only slight use for the skirmish game. I didnt even know they were still around until I saw the behold set, but I also wouldn't pay that kind of price for 4 plastic minis. I only paid about $20 each for the big Mage Knight dragons, and they were a lot better looking (well Venomous Shadow Dragon is licking its own butt, but still...) and just as usable for D&D. Maybe they will move to more "army men" type of miniature line where you get the old gray plastic bag of orcs of the right size, so you can buy what you need without the cost of them being painted and you can do a simple paintjob yourself if you need for the mass monsters. Many other games do fine selling those type of miniatures for them and people love them, and with the board games division they will likely need them so moving that direction isnt really that far of a stretch.
