I can't wait for Chris' KS.
It seems like a traditional RPG, but these days a lot of roleplayers want visual representations of their characters.
I think he is making cardboard characters as well as using Prodos Games miniatures. There has been word of him having a range of 'RPG specific' miniatures made by Prodos too.
In any case, I am looking forward to the MCRPG 3rd edition!!!
