Message: <blockquote data-quote="HeapThaumaturgist" data-source="post: 3751610" data-attributes="member: 12332">I would totally not mind the collectible online miniatures linked off of the collectible physical miniatures they already have.  That would be a great value-add and a way to keep people buying the plastics, giving More Options of what they bring to the table (the plastics are then a wargame, minis for home use, and minis for online use, and maybe minis for online wargame use).But ONLY if there is a way to add miniatures of your own making.  If I have to buy every single mini I use from WotC and I can't use any house rules or anything like that in my minis collection because it is blocked off, I'm far far less likely to start using them at all.  If I can pay Paizo for a Pathfinder Goblin 3D model for my game table and use it on DDI, that will be where the money hits the road.  If I know a guy that starts a home business doing 3D models of people's custom monsters for DDI games, I'll be signed up and waiting when the doors open.  And I'll be buying the WotC minis too (probably singles like I have been, but possibly some boosters, if I have so many ways I can use them.  If I get physical and digital minis from a box of WotC minis, even if I can buy digital minis from Bob The Mini Man and physical minis from Mongoose, I'm going to be forking over at WotC as well.If I'm hamstrung by their sandboxing, I'm not going to use it at all.This is why I didn't buy a lick of music online when it was all copyprotected.  The first time I tried to build an opening scroll for my SWRPG game in a movie-maker and found I couldn't use the Star Wars Theme I bought off of iTunes, I never gave them another dollar.  Just me and my vote.  --fje</blockquote>
