Pregnant warrior figurine anywhere?

[kenobi65]

Could have used such a mini once, myself.

My first "real" (i.e., played more than once or twice) PC was a female fighter (well, still is, I still play her occasionally). As the campaign progressed, she married another party member, and got pregnant.

We had a big gaming weekend that happened to coincide with Olivia being pregnant. As we were figuring out which PCs we were going to play (most of the players in the campaign have more than one PC), the DM dangled a carrot: if you play Olivia throughout the weekend, she'll get enough XP to make 10th level (this is back in 2E days, when that was a lot of adventures worth of XP).

So, Olivia (about 3 months pregnant at the start of this) had some "maternity studded leather armor" made, with expandable gussets. She managed to survive (though was operating at a Dex penalty by the end), as did the baby.

That's really cool! I didn't know, nor would I have imagined, that LG could be so interesting. Congratulations

Neither did I, and for a while it almost wasn't. Most people could just not fathom why I would do something like that, let alone with self-impossed penalties! Eventually the ultra rules-lawyering of the campaign took a front seat to story, but it was great while it lasted.

Would it sell well if a manufacturer would do minis of pregnant warriors??!

Yeah, I mean, how would he reach the bottom of his loincloth with all that BELLY in the way?!?

Never seen one, and truthfully have little use for one, myself, because plausibly by the time a woman is "showing" enough to put it on a mini, the danger of miscarriage from violent activity is VERY high.

.... not to hear my wife talk about it ....

Man, I'm glad I was drinking water when I read this and not something that stains.

I think having a mini that depicted a pregnant woman warrior could be done in such a way that is both tasteful and cool. Hmmm have to talk to a certain minis company about that at Gen Con...

I'm with him.

I'm fairly sure, that you won't have miniatures depicting your characters *exactly* as they are, anyways, with physical traits, clothing, equipment, etc.

Just pretend...

Yep. No woman would go fighting then (well, except Xena, maybe ).

Strikes me as a very bad taste idea for a company to make such a thing. If you need one that badly, I'd suggest using modelling putty on a regular figure.

No - Ral Partha's "Slave Market", a miniature set that depicts mulitple nude female minatures in shackles up for sale on a sex market, long ago set the standard of "bad taste". This isn't even in the same hemisphere of bad as that.

EDIT: TASTE, not test.
