Reaper 6 was a definite drop-off from Reaper 5, both in terms of dollars and backer numbers. On the other hand, Archon studios has been picking up steam. Dwarven Forge held pretty strong on their last big KS, but just ran a smaller one that didn't do so well, and so on.In terms of going to the FLGS and buying miniatures, that's still dominated by Wizkids and Games Workshop. Wizkids has become a bit more exclusive, with prices going up, but also offering a pretty incredible array of licensed D&D, Pathfinder, and Critical Role miniatures. And Games Workshop is their own ecosystem. Steamforged has their Epic Encounters series, which has been growing steadily for 2+ years and is an excellent way to build out sets of commonly encountered creatures plus some gorgeous BBEGs.The broad trend I've discerned post-pandemic is that prices are up, more than just inflation, and delivery is significantly slower. But there's also never been more options.</blockquote>
