[QUOTE="Dasher, post: 378442, member: 7703"] As long as I've been GM'ing DnD I've always liked using miniatures in game. They have numerous benefits for the GM and the players that I think everyone here understands. Being as lazy as I am though I find that I rarely have them painted and usually due finansis I don't have as many as I want of the right type of creatures. No big deal, I just use whatever's close and call it whatever critter I want it to be. So now I have representation for all my creatures and the battle begins. During battle things tend to get confused and I lose track of who's who, usually only in larger battles. So after many setions of faking that I had everything under control and knew exactly who was fighting who, I decided I would look into coming up with an inexpensive way to provide clearly represented and trackable game pieces. What I came up with was printing cardboard picture tiles that would insert into a plastic 1" dia. base piece. The base piece excepts a numbered flag for tracking and a color printed cardboard tile that can be interchanged with whatever creature image you want to use. I started off making a 1" dia. tile, 2" dia. tile and 1"x2" tile to accomodate the sizes I use most. As for the inexpensive part of the idea, the final product would be a bargin at ruffly $18 U.S. for 10 - 1" base tiles, 5 - 2" base tiles, 5 - 1"x2" base tiles, 80 - 1" creature tiles, 9 - 2" creature tiles and 9 - 1"x2" creature tiles. Now manufacturing and tooling isn't cheap though so I wanted know if the community thought this is something they might find useful or had any input before I go sink thousands of dollars into it. I'd also like to know of other features that you might want or what monsters would be prefed? Thanks Dasher [/QUOTE]
