Me. I would freak out. Spiders are not my thing. I'll use them if they're in a published adventure, but otherwise I avoid putting them in my own adventures. Heck, I'll admit I still have trouble looking that full-page 1e MM Giant Spider illustration.

Same. It's the movement that triggers me. Even in Skyrim VR, my heart jumps when I'm ambushed by a giant spider.

Had a friend for Halloween with a big spider in his hair. It would move on command.

I just adore spiders. Though cute ones mainly tbh.

Me too! I especially like jumping spiders, all fuzzy, with big cute eyes.
They remind me of tiny eight-legged Yorkies.

I've seen this a couple places around the web today, but I haven't seen what I'd call a "primary source". How did people find out about this? Was there an announcement? I can't find a link anywhere. (Sorry if I'm being dumb and missed it)

WizKids is one of the many companies that doesn't update their website as fast as announcements come out. The way it normally works is they send solicitations for pre-orders to distributors who send them out to game stores. The distributors and game stores all advertise the pre-orders, and that's what gets reported around. Sometimes they also send out a press release email with all the information but no links or anything. Then days or sometimes weeks later, WizKids updates their website with the information. Gale Force 9 is another company that does it like that, and a few of the RPG publishers do the same thing. Not sure if it's because they have a schedule for updates to their website or if it's something to do with getting the products entered into their own web stores being more difficult than sending solicitations to distributors, but that's typically how it goes.

Ah, thank you! It was driving me crazy!!

If that’s what she looks like it’s not good. Wizkids is charging a premium for some bad looking minis. I saw Aveiraturace recently. Great sculpt but what is that? A wash and some brown paint for the saddle and harness??

Both of those mini's look nice to me.

I mean sure to each their own but for the price I can do it easier myself but I know not everyone can paint minis. They aren’t as overpriced as their Frameworks and that Tarrasque or Tiamat though so fair enough.

 

[Zarthon]

nope...

lol. Awesome figure though, just not a huge spider fan

 

[MGibster]

You guys inspired me to paint some spiders up. So, uh, spoiler for image.

Prediction for 2022: Tales of the Yawning Portal 2, with a focus on the Kuo-Toa/Drow/Demonwebs sequence. They did Against the Giants in the first one, so could continue on from there, and add in other classics. Tharizdun? Tsojcanth?

I hope this comes true.

I really like the conversions from TotYP, though the Steading of the Hill Giant Chief had some logistics issues. I'm hoping they'll make another.
