[QUOTE="chronoplasm, post: 4775170, member: 73795"] I got to thinking how good it would be if wizards released minis in nonrandom encounter packs with all monsters visible, and maybe a couple of dungeon tiles to boot. It would be cool to see some kind of "Rat Pack" including: 4 Giant Rat minions 1 Rat Swarm 2 Dire Rats 1 Were-Rat ...and some kind of sort of elite...
