[QUOTE="RichGreen, post: 2054367, member: 2039"] The bulette is a great example of a monster I used in an adventure because I had the cool D&D mini for it. I also buy metal minis I like and include them in adventures -- with Rackham's excellent wolfen minis for Confrontation this has meant creating D&D stats for them!
