[QUOTE="Richards, post: 7642741, member: 508"] We generally just make them. Nothing fancy and nothing permanent, either: we just generally make a 1"-square grid on colored poster board and cut out the sizes we need: 1" x 1" for Small/Medium, 2" x 2" for Large, 3" x 3" for Huge, etc. Then, if we need a Huge dragon but only have a Large mini for it, we bring out a Huge poster board "base" and place the Large dragon mini on it. This all started because in my last campaign my youngest son decided to run a summoner. Rather than try to come up with the appropriate minis in the quantities needed, I just did up a bunch of 1", 2", and 3" poster board bases in several colors (I think I did 4 in each color and numbered them "1" through "4"), so if he decided he was summoning 1d4 celestial bison (or whatever), we could just grab (say) 3 bases labeled "1," "2," and "3" and we'd all know the yellow bases were celestial bison. I'm fairly certain they do make just the bases for minis if you're looking for a more permanent solution, but I'm afraid I have no specific suggestions for you there - we've never used them.
