Well, is pretty simple. I'd like to use your miniatures for a lot of purposes. True "3D" wargames, boardgames, RPGs.... whatever. What it may happens is that i could need some tokens, or a card, or other things to be used in the game. And if i have bought your minis, it is 'cause i like your style and art, and so i'd like to have a coherent art and style in the game i'm building by cutting your figures. So, please, would you like to add "props" to your set? I mean: if you're drawing fantasy figures, why not include some sword, axe, armour pieces.... the one your figures already have, as hi-res image? And if you draw Old West gunslingers, why not add a colt, a shotgun and a winchester (and some dollars also).... a pair of boot and a hat? Or a phaser, a space suite and a computer, if they appears on your space heroes set? I could use that images on cards, chits, tokens, and whatever the game i'd like to play will require and everything will look as a "complete" product.... ....what do you think?

That seems like a good idea. It would maybe even be worth a few bucks. Not that I do that sort of thing.

For dropped or found items or for editing and re-arming?

...or perhaps for creating your own/customized game "tools" - ie. cards, maps, data sheets, etc? If so, then also different borders and background tiles (for sheets and cards) plus some additional graphic elements specific for the particular figures set/game theme would be very helpful... Ad. swords/guns/shields/banners - you mean something like this?: These are quite different art styles (just a quick collage). I'm not quite sure but got suspicion that majority of gamers would pick most color full, fantasy ones :)

Ok, I for one can add some stuff like that. Cool idea really. As I've come to expect from Parduz.

For dropped or found items, and/or for cards with stats and rules for that items. ...or perhaps for creating your own/customized game "tools" - ie. cards, maps, data sheets, etc? Ad. swords/guns/shields/banners - you mean something like this?: Yes and yes. I dont feel the need of backgrounds as i can do some basic things on graphics programs, so i can find a free background to draw a card. But other customers may need it.... but then are they able to do womething with it? I can't draw in the same way of the artist, this is why i'd like to have stuffs from him

I am knee deep in my INFINATE FIGURE DESIGNER, so this comes at a good time. I can throw in the weapons in this set so everything the figures carry can also be put on chits of tokens as well. This will also prove handy for those characters like BLAKE STARGAZER that carry a shotgun on his back. Good idea!

I kind of think of this like in a video game or what actually happens in rpg's. You find stuff, and a lot of the stuff is easily recognizeable, so it would be nice to have as a token or even as an item that can replace the item you already have. I took some of Mel's weapons and tools and when I glued the halves together I left a non-glued area on the handles so that I could slip them on the hands of figures. Not the best close-up, but at arms length it looks good.
I think the miscellaneous stuff additions could be very helpful

This sounds like a really neat idea! I'd love to have some extra items with sets, like modern to Sci-fi Guns, Energy Shields, Beam Swords and random equipment from little grenades to maybe scanning devices, or even jet packs, Lol. Would be even more neat to have weapons with a hand attached version as well so all you had to do is cut the hand off a mini and replace it with the new item or a tab on the hand you could sandwich between the forearm pieces. This definitly just opened a door of possibilities in my head, Lol! ;D

In my D&D days, we had a DM that would include very odd things in loot we would capture only to find that we would need a specific item found later in that game. Having these items as either individual items or as tokens would open up a lot of possibilities.
Thanks for bringing this up, Parduz
