Title: review: D&D Miniatures

I don't war game. I would love to get cheap miniatures for my rpgs though. That's why I resent the random packs. Why the heck does everything in the world have to be random these days? Just so they don't have to research which figures aren't selling well?

It's to get you to buy more since

1: It's hard to usealy get that one figure you want.

2: People like to collect and get excited to see what they got.

Of course e-bay has realy affected #1 in lots of ways, so any unrare fig you can by rather cheaply.

Honestly you should try and find singles off of e-bay, you could easly get the figs you want for less then metal ones.

Not to be rude or anything but did anyone edit this article before it went up?

only sorta. Spriggan's a really bad speller, and since I'm at work, I have only time to do a cursory edit. Usually stacy hits it afterward, but that depends on her schedule.

ok, fine, there were few misspellings. There were a heckuva lot of homonyms, but few misspellnigs.

Sprig, I consulted SE on the changes I made, but this one confused us both. Tell me if I've mangled this:

Quote
Standard actions include moving, attacking once, spells, and most other actions. Full round actions include multiple attacks, some special attacks, and double moves.
