Monster Stand-Ins on Kickstarter

The new-news is that I’m able to include 12 plastic card stands with each set of Monster Stand-Ins. If you need more, pledge an extra $3 for 20 more. They will primarily be black, but if there is high interest in giving a variety of colors we can do that. In fact, if you back now/soon, you'll be able to participate in a poll to determine some of these project details. (Color of stands, minis background color, etc. I expect to start the poll in the next day or two.)

If you’re unfamiliar with the project:
Monster Stand-Ins are a set of 200 plastic card miniatures (like cardboard minis, but on credit-card-like plastic) of creatures for games that use miniatures. Use them when you don’t have enough miniatures or don’t have the right miniature. The front of each will have a full-color picture of a creature and the back will have a matching silhouette.

The plastic makes them much more durable than home-printed minis or even cardboard minis. Because they are plastic, you can also freely write on them with a dry erase maker. Writing the hits taken, special conditions, or even Kobold #12 on the mini itself makes tracking which creature is which and which has been hit much easier.

The set will come with 200 plastic-card minis. Also, anyone who orders one physical set may order extras in an almost a la carte fashion: order an extra card’s worth of minis for just $.50. There are 8 small creatures on a card, 4 mediums on a card, 2 larges or 1 huge per card. The project page lists which creatures are on each planned card in the set, and for the most part it makes sense. (The 4 skeletons are on a card, the 2 owlbears are on the same card, etc.) So if you want around 50 orcs, you can get them for just about $6. (Plus the cost of 1 base set.)

This project is sounding more and more awesome. My challenge with mini's has always been the storage problems of keeping armies of goblins, orcs, worgs and skeletons.. I like to have 50 or more bad guys on the board :)

Well, and the cost too. $6 for 50 orcs? Oh yea! I am going to have to adjust my Kickstarter pledge up a couple armies worth!
