D&D General Nolzur creates inclusive miniatures, people can't handle it.

Quick question: how do you kill a vampire?

You don't - you employ the services of an undead sensitivity councilor to better understand your new living-impaired friend while also trying to find a non-violent resolution that respects the vampires cultural norms.

The backdrop for the Anita Blake books, in other words.

Trick question. They're already dead.

There is no problem which cannot be solved with cannons.

Speaking of which, am I the only one who sees a mounted mini and doesn't immediately assume the mounted figure is able to walk unassisted?

Maybe?

I've played in so many games where PCs have had to haul around a dead/paralyzed/petrified/unconscious party member, I just sort of assumed seasoned adventuring parties have and make use of contingency plans for assisted mobility. In my experience, it's usually a jury-rigged saddle or a stretcher designed to be hoisted on ropes when the party is climbing, but adding a wheelchair to the mix doesn't fundamentally change the calculus.

I always pictured unconscious/dead characters thrown across the back of a horse/mule sideways so they are less likely to fall off. I would never picture putting a fully paralyzed character into the saddle like a rider who can shift their weight so as to balance and not fall off.

I know it would turn into a terrible Weekend at Bernies type of situation in most games I have been in if the ghoul paralyzed Sir Bernard were put on his horse in the saddle like a normal rider by fellow PCs to carry him away. Either he would need to be strapped in with crazy rope work, or he would quickly tip and then be falling without using his arms to break his fall, or even close his eyes. It is what I would expect if Sir Bernard were paralyzed while riding a mount.

(Maybe the game has gotten easier over the years, so "kids these days" don't have the experience of lugging an incapacitated ally through a dungeon to get them to safety.)

I don't think that is why people would default assume mounted riders are not paralyzed.

There can be setups to make horseback riding work for mobility impaired people but it takes some special gear setup and/or help.

Step 1 take them out to dinner.

Step 2 order a stake . . .

Good to know. Having never ridden a horse, I've always just hand-waved it as "special saddle" and called it good. Knowing how involved it is, I'll probably just stick to stretchers, sleds, and wheeled conveyances when devising in-game contingency plans. I'll reserve the special saddles for folks who would use them on a regular basis.

Also, palanquins. Just throwing that out there because I like saying palanquins.

For real. At least in coastal states. A few days ago I posted this comparison, and why I need to move to the midwest lol. Twice the house for half the cost.

Yep. My wife and I plan on selling our home when we retire and do that. We'll have a fully paid off house that is the same size or larger with significantly more land for half the price, and have hundreds of thousands of dollars to put towards our retirement.

Look, I'll be 100% honest. I will likely not buy this mini. Like, ever. For one, I don't buy minis - I play online. So, honestly, something like this isn't something I'm looking for. But, I'm honestly baffled why anyone would take a stand on this. What a bizarre hill to die on. It's not for your group. You don't need it and won't use it. WHY ARE YOU TELLING US?

10 to 1 says PC images for that sort of thing arrive very quickly. I'm sure it will be available for you should you ever have need of it in the future.
