The Monster Stand-Ins Kickstarter project is now over 50% of the way to our goal! Thank you for your support.

About the Project
Monster Stand-Ins are a set of 200 plastic card (same thickness as most credit cards) miniatures of creatures for role-playing games or war games or board games. Use them when you don't have enough miniatures or don't have the right miniature. The plastic makes them more durable than home-printed minis or even cardboard minis and you can freely write on them with a dry erase maker. (Mark conditions, hits taken, "Kobold #9" etc.) They are also more portable and an organizer box is available as an option.
Related, New Project
I've started a related Kickstarter to create a large monster stock art collection: Monster Stock Art
The new project is particularly helpful if you're working on your own game which could use high-quality fantasy monster art. It will have at least 100 monster images covering over 50 different creatures. (In some cases we do 4 versions of common creatures, in other cases we do 2 versions, and other creatures are rarer so I only planned to do 1 of those.) And if we meet the initial goal, we'll keep putting the money toward more art and grow the collection. Wouldn't it be fun/worthwhile to do all the creatures in the 3.5 SRD?
There are two sets of rewards: a less expensive set intended for web/electronic (non-PDF) publishing (on-line games, "apps", blogs, general website graphics) and another set meant for PDF and print publishing. The latter will have mostly 1/4 page @ 300dpi size graphics, but at least 10% and likely 20% will be full page. The print/pdf versions could always be scaled down for web/electronic scales.
If the second project is successful, I can hopefully sweeten the first project's rewards.
