DocPiske Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Six to 8 will outnumber most parties but not be overwhelming to run. If you add archers they can all act at the same time, reducing the potential effort. If you know what scenario you will run, selecting models based on that scenario first is absolutely the way to go. The Rule of Cool always must be respected, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotF Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 For goblins, one thing to do is decide on a "look" before going in with them. The Pathfinder goblins don't really mix that well with most other types due to their very distinctive look, and the 9 bones ones are a great way to start (2 group packs and the single caster one), and there's some of the Deep Cuts pathfinder ones that have a few as well. You can also go for other goblins which tend to work together and can also be a good starting point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintybeard Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I would have thought that one each of the "Frostgrave" wizard and fighter sets, (either sex), would allow you to pretty much cover this. And than buy some of the monster packs to give a selection of baddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckyball Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I had considered the Bones I kickstarter (vampire box) as the basic D&D miniatures set. There was a variety of basic character types: mages fighters rangers clerics thieves and it came with a sensible group of monster types: 12 goblins + 9 pathfinder goblins 12 kobolds 12 giant rats 6 orcs 6 skeletons 4 zombies 2 rat swarms 2 spider swarms and 2 scarab swarms 2 giant spiders and a variety of single tough monsters: a troll a specter a beholder ect.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my vintage collection certainly has some vintage slimes and oozes, and the transparent Bones ones would be easy to leave clear or wash with a translucent paint for some color. My only contrary thought is that they are slow and usually appear singly (though, now that I say that, it could be more tactically interesting if there was a swarm/nest of them), so it might not ordinarily be necessary to set up a tactical map to deal with the encounter.

Even at a higher cost than the late pledges, it's an amazing introduction to fantasy tabletop gaming with so many basics covered. Even all the PC types can easily be used as Bandits and such.

TheAuldGrump Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Taking Megan to Blue tomorrow night, to listen to some jazz, and maybe dance a turn or two. Blue is normally closed on Mondays, but for St. Valentine's Day, they made an exception. The Auld Grump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuldGrump Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I was on Quora, when I ran into something that WILL be in any cyberpunk game that I run, in a post by Nick Schön - · - Yes, it is a pizza vending machine. In Toulon, France. This... fills me with joy. The Auld Grump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroorex Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Bugs, you definitely need bugs. I have giant cockroaches and centipedes but any spiders or bugs will work for low level stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dean Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 My vintage collection is definitely a little short on bugs… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
