That happen to be mini's oriented. And I think they are starting to hit a saturation point where in the end, things will either stabilize, or they will die off leaving on a few core items, like Clix games.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748041751542201508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13266751.post-61863917554562639612007-07-21T10:48:00.000-04:002007-07-21T10:48:00.000-04:00Well here is the thing. The base that is part of ...Well here is the thing. The base that is part of the mini, is the D&D minis scale. Unfortunately they are attached to another base that has the rules information on it.<BR/><BR/>I personally like the Dreamblade pieces, but for playing a game, not for collecting. Aside from a few cool sculpts, I think the overall theme of the pieces is too nightmarish. <BR/><BR/>Personally, the size of the minis is one of the reasons I love the game. The tactile feel of the larger minis in your hands as you move them about the board is great. When playing D&D minis or Star Wars minis the pieces are often just too damn small. Dreamblade, on the other hand, really has some weight behind the pieces. Of course that leads to higher pricing, but at least they are not metal!<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, out of our local group, I have the smallest investment. I lack a lot of power pieces and I'm glad I held off dropping $30-$50 for the big name pieces. I did spend a lot initially, but I should have a 50% recoup rate with one large sale. <BR/><BR/>I am probably done with Dreamblade, aside from keeping one warband for casual play purposes.heartlessgamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809717223567961650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13266751.post-14793019194668991822007-07-20T23:59:00.000-04:002007-07-20T23:59:00.000-04:00I think this should be a lesson for WotC: When you...I think this should be a lesson for WotC: When you have a game that uses miniatures and sets a scale for them (D&D), don't make another miniatures game that runs on a different scale!<BR/><BR/>When Dreamblade was announced, I was confused. The D&D Miniatures game was doing fine, why make another one?<BR/><BR/>When they made clear that the Dreamblade mini's weren't going to be in D&D scale... that was the end of the road for me. I'm not going to invest a lot of money in fantasy miniatures unless I can use them in my main fantasy game.<BR/><BR/>Sorry that you dig it buddy... but they would have done better if it worked for the core D&D game too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
