TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Looks like she's gonna trip over her fucking sword.   :lulz:

I totally didn't notice the sword.  I was too distracted by her tits book.

Now I know who's been making the figs all sticky.

DAMN.

yeppa.
it's a pathfinder figure.  i've never played the game, but i'm just painting for fun, and i guess all the 25/28mm minis are usable in any game that they don't look anachronistic, no?

the young lady at the shop who paints minis and gave me some pointers said that Wizards no longer makes the D&D figures, and that they let Reaper take over that mantle. but i see that this doesn't appear to be the case according to the Wizards website.  maybe she was saying that they previously made their own metal unpainted figures, and now they only make the plastic prepainted?  i dunno.

and, yeah.  her sword and book are both ridiculously large.

This, unfortunately, reminds me of a client from back in my 900-girl days.

Reaper HAD it, but then they gave the fucking contract to Wizkids, who are now making blobby plastic pre-painted models that you have to buy blind, for their "collectible" tabletop game.

It pains me, Iptuous.  It's like they took every mistake TSR and WotC ever made, and decided to do them again.

heh.... what can you do?
wizkids. they're the ones that do mageknight/heroclix, right?
so, just to get this straight, the figs that are sold on the Wizards site (that you buy in 'booster packs' sight unseen) actually made by wizkids?  and they suck, you say...

ok. so you obviously know what the score is.... is there any reason that you would want to use one brand of mini over another in a D&D game beyond which one just looks best to you? (assuming that it's pretty much the right scale)

Crappy figs just don't feel right in-game.

Reaper or GTFO.

Reaper does some BRILLIANT work.  And very affordable.
