[QUOTE="Raloc, post: 3946940, member: 28093"] Thanks for your post Glyfair. I know of the information you posted, however, from the veiled hints that the WotC folks have thrown out there, it seems like they're hell bent on screwing us all over. If they do random v-minis, then by definition you wouldn't be able to have multiple instances (since that would possibly be *more* retarded than not being able to, since you could and probably would end up paying for a "booster" in which you gained nothing since you already had every model or even a substantial portion of them). I know at least I personally would not be very thrilled at essentially [b]giving[/b] away my ~$15+ (or whatever) to WotC for absolutely nothing in return. If there is even the slightest chance they are going with this insane and ridiculously insulting model (and it seems the case, given the aforementioned veiled hints), I feel it's my duty to b*tch vehemently about it. I [b]want[/b] these tools to be great. I [b]want[/b] my group to buy into 4e. Random v-minis would be the death knell to any of that, which the ridiculous "subscription fee" (through which you basically get [b]nothing[/b] I might add, except that now Dungeon and Dragon magazines are canceled save some funky net only version (so freaking lame, I [b]liked[/b] my physical magazines***), which feels like freaking extortion, and basically you'd be completely boned if they decided for any reason to cancel the service since you can't download the freaking apps). I get to play D&D little enough as it is (I work 9-12 hour days at a job I really enjoy, and the rest of my group has very little time as well), so I seriously do not want what I see as a possible rejuvination of our session to be killed before it can even start. *** - Kudos to Paizo however, on their leftover subscription reward thingy, since Pathfinder is pretty cool, even if I don't get to use it.
