[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5642442, member: 20323"] I never bought into it! All my pre-painted plastic minis are second hand thru a nameless FLGS who was willing to sell individuals, through gifts/trades, or through auggies or troll & toad. But then I never was a DDM player. Which makes the randomization thing that Paizo / Wizkids are doing for a role-playing game weird for me. If there was some other supportive rules for a battle game I'd buy into their concept of randomized minis more. But a RPG is all about having encounters where you know what opposition the players are going to be facing. It's not like the DM gets 1000 points and each player gets 200 to build the if dugeon or party respectively and to the victor goes the spoils. I imagine the meetings about this venture had a lot of WizKids folks explaining the "market realities" of pre-painted plastic minis production and getting the Paizo folks on board with randomized. And the Paizo folks going along with it but proposing non-random encounter packs once the line is off and running. [/QUOTE]
