So, I've been working on a dungeon crawl project for nigh on...12 years. Finally making some progress on it, and I wanted to get a feel for what miniatures the average fantasy gamer owns. I'm compiling a list of creatures I may place into the initial game setting. If you'd be so kind, please cut and paste this list, and bold the figures that you own.
The approach of this project will be a rules set that people can pick up and play with their own dungeon materials/figures. I just want to see how big the average collection is.
Goblins
Orcs
Men-at-Arms (Humans)
Zombies
Ghouls
Lizardmen
Ratmen
Skeletons
Bugbears
Cave Spiders (human sized, not gigantic)
Vampire
Troll
Ogre
Dragon
Giant
Owlbear
Wyvern
Griffon
Mage
Stone Golem
Ghost
Cave Spider (Large)
Minotaur
Wraith
Thanks for helping out! I'll be looking for more assistance in the future for art/painted miniatures!

I'm sort of on-and-off with dungeon crawl & small skirmish games, but here's my input...
Goblins
Orcs
Men-at-Arms (Humans)
Zombies
Ghouls
Lizardmen
Ratmen
Skeletons
Bugbears
Cave Spiders (human sized, not gigantic)
Vampire
Troll
Ogre

Wraith
I used to have a couple of minotaurs and a small (old Ral Parhta?) wyvern, but traded them off.
-
Perfect, thanks! I'm looking to really get 20+ responses and see if there are any glaring trends. If no one owns a certain type, I'll probably delay that creature until a later release.

I might have a stone golem somewhere, but can't think of one offhand. Otherwise, it's just the outsized spider that I'm missing.
One point I'd add is that wyvern miniatures can vary massively in size. I've got the Tony Ackland orc war wyvern from the early 80s, which is massive. It's bigger than most of the dragons Citadel and Ral Partha produced at the time, and I think its size would make it quite unsuitable for most dungeon-crawl games. The same goes for the subsequent rearing Kev Adams one, which I also have - huge and much too tall to look convincing in a dungeon. I do have a little heraldic-looking Citadel one, which is perhaps about the size of a small horse, but I suspect very large ones are more commonly owned.

Your timing might be a bit off though, as the Frostgrave dungeon crawl expansion will be out in about 6 months or so, which will probably be aiming at exactly the same niche.

All of them.
The only two unpainted, so not ready to use, would be Wyvern and Owlbear.

No wyvern, giant spider or owlbear.
Seriously an owlbear? Who would have one of them except a completest D&D player. Was there ever a stupider monster ever created? (OK yes there were many, I have the Fiend Folio, but that surely is the poster child)

Everyone who went in on the first Reaper Bones Kickstarter has at least one. :)

I have them all apart from Bugbears and an Owlbear. However my Dragon and Griffons both come with attached riders, so some imagination may be required there.

Excellent guys, exactly what I'm looking for. Starting to see a few trends. I'll be doing a big post covering the game itself when it happens - doing test cards right now. Like with my other projects it's a simple fact that I'm building the game to play for myself, so why not make it available to other folks if they're interested. lol

More than I initially thought, actually. That said, I recently sold all of my remaining Warhammer crap to focus solely on skirmish and dungeon stuff, so in time most of these will eventually be included.
One I am missing is the Gnoll. It so happens a plastic set is going to be released by Northstar Miniatures in several months, so...

Thanks guys, keep em coming. The game is card-based for encounters, so players will be able to remove cards for creatures they don't have. I just don't want to include stuff if 90% of the people don't own miniatures for it. Other stuff will be included in subsequent dungeon decks (some of which will be aimed at certain types of baddies etc.). Appreciate the responses!

In all seriousness, the owlbear is my all-time favourite fantasy monster... I'm actually sculpting myself another one right now! :D

I have a minotaur coming from the Heresy Kickstarter (I think. It's been a while since I confirmed what I wanted).
The spiders are some of Poundland's finest. I haven't tried to paint them yet, but they're creepy enough as is.
I have some old Grenadier Dragons, but they're still in their boxes
The biggest omission I noticed from my collection was a Giant. I have the old Grenadier Giant Skeleton, but no humans. Something that I may have to remedy at some point, methinks :D
-
I'm kind if curious how a giant figures into dungeon crawling anyway. I have a plastic GW giant (good model, not as overly embellished as later large monsters) but that thing would be huge in a dungeon, how high must the roof be.
-
I also plead guilty to the full set of those (and a lot more), although things like Wyverns, Dragons and Griffins I only use small (young or immature in game terms) versions in Dungeons. Bigger ones and Giants are only used in wilderness encounters/games.
If you are looking at dungeon gaming make sure you consider "neutral" creature types that attack by chance not design. Things like fungi, moulds, slimes etc. Not every danger in a dungeon should actively be hunting the characters.
-
Everything but an Owlbear. Now that I'm a grown-up and I know what I want in life, my collection is Middle-earth-themed, but I still have some "D&D nonsense" from my foolish youth.

Implying you wouldn't buy this:

Depending how you define/envision them (Shades of 1st edtion AD&D) there is some overlap between Ogre/Troll in my fevered imagination.

The game can be played in large caverns, open spaces etc. It is not a strict dungeon crawl and will be at the discretion of the party/DM. The heroes will have to use the dungeon to their benefit (dungeons will be encouraged to offer 2-3 routes to various locations). The dungeon master may be very limited in where he can place/use certain creatures, such as the Giant. But in some of my dungeons I have huge cavern areas...and sometimes you may stumble into one.

I also plead guilty to the full set of those (and a lot more), although things like Wyverns, Dragons and Griffins I only use small (young or immature in game terms) versions in Dungeons. Bigger ones and Giants are only used in wilderness encounters/games.
If you are looking at dungeon gaming make sure you consider "neutral" creature types that attack by chance not design. Things like fungi, moulds, slimes etc. Not every danger in a dungeon should actively be hunting the characters.
There is a dungeon deck which includes creatures, traps, events, treasure, environmental effects, and special strategies for the Dungeon Master. Some of the creatures are neutral and will fight heroes and other monsters etc. The Dungeon Master will play against the character party (with a co-op version I'm hoping to eventually try as well --- allowing AI to control the dungeon. This would be a very different game, but we'll see). The Dungeon Master draws a Dungeon Card each turn that the heroes are not fighting a monster --- placing them face down in rooms/areas of the dungeon. The Heroes will be attempting to locate objective rooms or side-quest rooms. The faster the characters move and explore rooms, they negate the Dunegon Master placing cards in those rooms...so there is a bit of a race between characters and the DM. All of this will be laid out when I start the proper thread.

I've got a ridiculous amount of everything with many more monster types than I probably ever need (don't tell my wife) and am still hoarding :)

There seems to be a trend between those who own D&D related minis and those who don't...perhaps a "retro" style expansion might be a better move for those. We'll see.
-
All of them in vast quantities (OK only 4 owl bears but 10 wyverns and 8 griffons, 100s of each infantry type!) still collecting and not painting anywhere near enough. Years since I played DnD, mainly play WHFB (my own version) but enjoy skirmish games like SOBH or OWS. If you can get the simplicity of SOBH but with more granularity I'd say you have a winner.
-
All.
