The hasslefree guy has said before that he sculpts all his minis from nude up and so the nude versions are mostly because he already has done the work and he knows people will buy them. Doesn't really make it any less skeezy but still.

I thought Tryke was cute at least. Hilarious the winter barbarian wouldn't look out of place as the pinup version either.

mike12345 posted:Oh my god a naked body! What has the world come to. loving pervs. This conversation has come up incredibly often, so here's the short version. Boobs are fine and good. Having to put boobs in every situation including tabletop gaming and miniatures starts to get skeevy in a hurry, particularly if the goon in question is planning to put those titty miniatures out in public display or onto a table with folks who just want to game and not look at titty minis. Prudishness really has nothing to do with it so much as context.

Oh good! Anti-sexism is being confused with prudishness, again. I've missed this juvenile argument, and I pray it goes on for many pages and spreads to other threads, too.

In an ideal world, nude minis would be NBD. In a hobby where objectification and alienation of women is an ongoing and persistent issue, it's more of a factor, particularly when the norm in minis is to solely depict them as pinup models with tits akimbo. Things are slowly changing in that regard, but slowly. It has less to do with the relative amount of clothing (though that is a factor) and more half the population being depicted overwhelmingly as gently caress targets. As far as pinup stuff goes this seems relatively harmless but there's just a larger picture where a lot of folks are either just annoyed or tired of this sort of thing. Even if you don't agree with the sexism angle there's more than a small degree of oversaturation, and this KS in particular seems like it's delivering the fully clothed versions almost as a form of apology more than anything else. When you have the pinup outfit right next to it, it reeks of wanting to eat your cheesecake and have it afterwards, so to speak.

Most people have a reson for ponying up for a kickstarter and this definitely isn't an "art doesn't need a reason to exist" situation b/c the stated goal of offering the peanut gallery minis alongside ones with clothes is to sell boobies to nerds, not to cater to cultured europeans

Is it the original game, or are they doing something similar to the White Wolf 20s? I don't know if I have enough nostagia available to buy anything like that, but it could be interesting to see them go over that stuff one more time.

As an American, I think there should be a version of the minis with giant fuckoff guns. AR-16s, Desert Eagle Mark XIXs, Thompson M1928s, and of course M60 GPMGs. Edit: Fuckin' A. The one name I didn't look up. HitTheTargets fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Sep 13, 2016 |

I skipped out on the halflings and half-orcs, but I was in on the three before that, and none of them were bad. I'll probably grab a couple of giants, the whole set gets a bit pricy.

Anyone with experience of using 3D tiles (like dwarven forge) able to give advice on how much 'table coverage' you need to be usable? I'm trying to finalise the pledge manager for the secret weapon kickstarter. Inputs: Core sets have 1.8 square feet of pieces (~1.5 for a DF set from KS 1 with all stretch goals, though DF has more 'set dressing') I run mostly 4E with some OSR and other games Kinda wondering how many core sets to get? Feels like 3 to 5 is the right answer. Crudely calculating (assuming 25% of the map is empty space) 4 sets would cover a 3 x 3 play area with some pieces left over, which almost feels like overkill.
