You're welcome. I thought for sure Dargoth would already have it posted on here, but alas....

I was to busy doing the survey!

There was a real scary question in that survey to.... "How many D&D minis do you own?"

Did you go outside their range of possible minis for that answer?

Thank you for your interest, but our target number of responses for this survey has already been completed.


Not that I own any, but one of the people I game with owns a lot. I like them for our table top games. Sometimes the paint is really messed up though.

That's kinda cheesy... "Okay, we've got all the people we want to hear from, so the rest of you don't matter."

I mean, no, I don't expect them to leave the survey going for weeks on end... But only for a few hours? What were they looking for, three responses?

Yeah that was quite fast as the survey didn't seem to be up there long. Perhaps one of the "official" message boards posted a link to the survey.

I averaged about 750 minis, although that is, as Dargoth put it... an guesstimate. I'd likely fail my sanity check if I had to take the time to count them all... .

But then again, you don't have that many ranks in 'sanity'

That's true. Too many years reading the works of HP Lovecraft .

Bah! I use my own homebrew gnomish stats for Rastromo "The Sage" Meradoc and any other gnomes PCs or NPCs in my campaigns. I've never liked the D&D basic statistical interpretation for the gnome race.

Therefore I don't suffer the penalty .

That's probably right around where I'm at as well. However, I would hate to count them. I really hope they come out with Gargantuan and then Colossal like they did with the Huge.

I only bought the 'normal' miniatures (the ones they started the whole thing with)...but collosal and gargantuan sounds pretty cool

That sounds cool. I have yet to play the actual minis game, but we use the minis for regular D&D use. They're great, I really can't imagine playing without minis now, they add so much to the game. I also shelled out hundreds of bucks for a Dwarven Forge setup, man its cool. The only problem is, it takes up so much room I can't just leave it set up, and it takes forever to take down and set back up from week to week.
