[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 9878157, member: 1457"] Thanks, Mike. It's been a labor of love for sure and I'm proud of the outcome. No joke, the project started when my players went in an unexpected direction and I had to find my Sahuagin minis. I looked through my big Costco-sized bin of hundrers of prepainted plastic minis--which I'd even helpfully grouped in sandwich baggies--and just couldn't find them. After 15 minutes of rooting around I sighed and just put some d6s on the table. If I own a thing, but can't quickly access and use the thing when I need it, then what's the point of owning the thing? And devoting such a huge amount of space to storing it? Thus: the Vault of Mini Things. Flat-pack standees with gorgeous front-and-back art hand-drawn by Marshall Short (of Printable Heroes fame). Over 800 of them, in all of D&D's wide varieties of diverse heroes and monsters and NPCs (and props and animals and familiars and persistent spells), sleeved and organized with color-coded divider tabs and alphanumeric codes on the bottom of each mini so you can quickly find (and put away) whatever it is you need. Large and Huge things, too: All colors of chromatic Dragons. Every type of giant. All the elementals. Golems. Even a purple worm. It's in the Vault. Plus starter terrain for town, wilderness, and dungeon. We made it for new players looking for a "one and done" tabletop solution, but really I think the person who'd appreciate it the most is the lifelong dungeon master. The person with a mishmash collection of prepainted plastics alongside hand-painted minis stretching from old Ral Partha and Grenadiers they slopped Testers paint onto when they were 10 years old to modern high-def models they expertly painted by airbrush and fine-point brush as an adult. All of that stuff is precious, but it takes up a ton of room and it's a pain in the ass to find and quickly deploy whatever it is you need at the moment. For such a gamer, the Vault presents a clean and consistent tabletop experience where everything fits in one board-game-sized box. Still use hand-painted or Heroforged minis for your PCs, of course. It makes sense; player characters have more depth after all. Anyway: glad to see folks are liking the Vault. Everyone at Tinkerhouse is grateful for the nomination and kind words, and looking forward to Origins. :) [/QUOTE]
