Project Research - what do you own?
« on: February 09, 2016, 05:46:06 AM »
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!

Cave Spiders (human sized, not gigantic)
Vampire
Troll

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.

And many more, obviously... :D

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.
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

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)
