These could be useful for a game -- wait until sites like www.pjcc.com put the singles up for $.25 US a piece, though.

Hello,

120 figures, huh? Lotta stuff.

One thing I really enjoy when role-playing is to come up with a set of physical artifacts, usually pictures, of my characters. They are not always supposed to be actual specific representations, and in many cases I'll have several pictures on one page, and say something like, "None of these are quite right, but imagine what they all have in common, and that's the character." I actually prefer that to a definitive or official character portrait.

Sometimes the file or portfolio will also include images that are relevant to the character, "He dreams stuff that looks like this," or "this is the background of panels would look like if he were in an expressionist comic," or "this is his car."

All very Everway.

It seems to me that a figure would be part of this portfolio, but since it's physically clunky compared to a ream of pages, I don't see myself using them much. And for some reason, the idea of re-using figures for different games is jarring to me.

Best,
Ron

You know, I've never seen a character in a Sorcerer game that'd qualify as "stock fantasy occult Sorcerer/Demon." to use those minitures with...

I could imagine using this for some characters, though.
