Peter Lee not to sound like the eternal optimist (I certainly don’t consider myself as such), but on a positive angle, consider the fact that they may improve their abilities with the CAD as well. they did say they just started with it. As much as I hate saying, “Quoted for Truth”, it’s certainly true here. The CAD process had a few growing pains, and … Continue reading More posts by Peter Lee

Peter Lee on maxminis.com The visible figures have an uncommon rarity assigned for collectability purposes, but the average number of the paint steps for those figure exceeds the current rare paint step allocation.   Effectively, the visible figure has double the paint steps that an average uncommon had in the old system.

In response to a post on Wizards.com forums: I’m certainly not ready to show miniatures from a set that won’t release for nearly half a year, but I’ll take your desire to see the paint master next to a production figure under consideration when it is time for me to write the previews for the set.

Peter Lee WoTC‘s ability to co-ordinate the miniature releases with the adventurers released at a similar time continues to be less than impressive.   Yup, you’re right. I’m working on it. Here’s the problem: The miniature path is close to 18 months to go from concept to your FLGS’s shelf. The path for getting a module from concept to your FLGS’s shelf is a lot … Continue reading Peter Lee on issues facing D&D Miniatures

Scott RouseWas the 8-mini for $15 model not profitable? Why the change to a 5-mini for $15 model. What exactly does WOTC see as the value-add here?  I tried to explain this in my post but I have to be careful on the level of detail I provided (publicly traded and all). Costs were (are) climbing so to maintain the business at its current level something has … Continue reading More official responses to the change

Stephen Schubert A few years back, I decided I wanted to use minis on my table, to help illustrate my game. I picked up some assorted metal, learned to paint, all that sort of stuff. Picked up Chainmail. Then Chainmail was canceled – in its place was to be a new, randomized, pre-painted minis game. I hadn’t bought into clix because they didn’t look enough … Continue reading Stephen Schubert saying farewell

Posted on Hordelings.com: So I’ve gotten a few emails so far (figure the post goes up the second I logoff a computer). DDXP will have DDM tourneys. From my understanding the last sanctioned ones. We will have a limited championship using Demonweb. We will have the standard $5,000 prize pool for the winners. Win some cash and be the last champion standing. There are no … Continue reading Dave Christ on the final sanctioned tournaments

Peter Lee The decision to not have skirmish cards in the boosters was made a few months ago. There were other discussions going on about other methods to support the game, and that decision was made relatively recently. It wasn’t decided until a day or two ago that there would be no skirmish stats going forward in an alternate distribution method.   (from Hordelings.com)   Continue reading Another post on the change…

Scott Rouse, Brand Manager of D&D, has confirmed what many people had feared after recent announcements to a change in packaging for D&D Miniatures: the Skirmish game is being discontinued. After Demonweb, there will be no further Skirmish stats included in DDM sets.   Instead, the line will focus more on supporting the D&D Roleplaying Game, 4th edition.   Six Hero packs, each containing three … Continue reading The end of the Skirmish Game
