[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 1000049, member: 6390"] One thing I gotta love about this whole thing, is some people have stated that it's a money-making ploy only... True, it does have some money-making potential, but we're not talking purses or bracelets that accessories some rich broads dress, we're talking accessories for a group of people that a vast majority of could qualify for foodstamps... If I need a minature, I have a bunch of pennies, some buttons, some old Monopoly token and some pocket lint... It's not uncommon to hear: "OK, my character {the pfenning piece} is going to do Leap of the Clouds and get close to the soda can that represents the dragon..." I once used a squeeze toy that giggled and said: "Gimme a hug, hee-hee!" for an Elder Red Wyrm... Figures are expensive, I don't have the cash, and frankly, putting a map out is just ASKING for a giggling toddler to run through the room and kick everything in order to get more attention than the map (Toddlers are notorious for being jealous about attention) and then throwing the figures behind the couch and jamming two into thier pants before running off... I don't care how much of uber-dude your BBEG is, if it's a choice between pulling his figure out of a poop-filled diaper, or just saying: "Ummm, he teleported away." and offering whoever complains the chance to retrieve the figure, you'll more than likely relagate Mr. BBEG to fecal-covered doom.... I'll wait till I read the exact wordings, both in the books, and the SRD, before I make a judgement... Besides, if worse comes to worse, I have a whole butt-load of plastic army men somewhere. I'll just hang signs around thier necks with thier names.... [/QUOTE]
