THE MANAMAL POLL RESULTS

The Manamal Poll is concluded. I am pleased with the results. I did not expect it to get 183 votes.

APE	38 (20%)
BADGER	28 (15%)
BOAR-BULL	18 (9%)
CAT (Popular Breeds)	35 (19%)
DOG (Popular Breeds)	35 (19%)
ELEPHANT-RHINO	39 (21%)
FROG-TOAD	32 (17%)
KANGAROO	28 (15%)
LIZARD	31 (16%)
PLATYPUS-PORCUPINE	24 (13%)
RABBIT-HARE	19 (10%)
SHRIMP-CRAB	47 (25%)
SPIDER	25 (13%)
TURTEL	29 (15%)
VULTURE-BUZZARD	31 (16%)

Now that you all have helped me decide what to do first, based on the Popular Vote this is what I am going to do. 1 Character Model for each Race, with sales determining which types will be elevated to Gang or Complete Race Status.

The first six Races I am going to sculpt in Popular Order are: Crab, Shrimp, Elephant/Rhino, Ape, Cat, Dog. When theses are done, I will start on the next six, and so on, until every race has at least a single highly detailed Character to represent it in The TOMORROW BLACK World.

Thank you all for participating!!!

TMP

THE MANAMAL POLL

LET'S TRY THIS ONE AGAIN.

I posted a similar poll back in the Black Autumn Days and it went nowhere. I have changed everything in my little world since then...this time the deal IS real.

The purpose of this Poll is to determine what Manamal Types will be made first and also which will get the Gang or Race treatment. I am going to sculpt one of everything in this poll, as a cool Monster/Character. Any of these Mutant Animal Humanoids will make a damn fun NPC or Special PC in RPG and a MERC or Monster Encounter in Skirmish Games.

If the poll and subsequent sales elevate certain Manamals, then I will do a Gang or Complete Race of the popular species. To give you some idea of how these sculptures may look, I am sharing some of the art that I have in my Reference Folders. I am not making my models just like this, but you can get the Flavor from these images.



A Word On Design. I have other Manamal Species in mind, this is the first batch, to get the product range started in earnest.

Other Manamal Species currently on my work desk.

Miniatures, Terrain, Rules, Storyline...What do you like best about our Hobby?

Bad Ass Bill at Good Ole TMP used one of my rambles for a recent TMP Poll.
This got me to thinking, something I do from time to time...
What do my Brothers here think about the core aspects of gaming? I am going to start my own little poll here so vote and comment, just for fun.

So considering the core or Tabletop Gaming: Miniatures, Terrain, Rules, and Storyline...What do you like best about our Hobby?

I think you need all four to have a great game, but if I had to put one aspect above the rest it would be The Miniatures, which is IMO The Art of the Hobby. Sure you can have a good game with cards, or dice, like in Poker or Yahtzee...but this ain't cards & dice.

Ultimately I want the BEST in all aspects of our little toy gaming lifestyle.

15MM Tabletop RPG POLL RESULTS

AD&D: 15

CYBERPUNK: 15

GAMMA WORLD: 30

RIFTS: 15

SHADOW RUN: 18

Now that the poll is concluded,  I would like to ask you to help me fill out some of the concepts from each game. Please bare in mind that I will NOT Copy anything from any of these games, but I will do some models that are similar, and convey the general intent of the popular concepts we all love from these RPG Worlds.

For example, many of us (At least 31 people...lol) would like to see 15MM Gamma World Styled Miniatures.
Okay, what type of Miniatures?
The Animal-Humanoid Mutants?
Killer Cyborgs?
Wild Sci-Fi Versions of D&D Character types?
And so on...

What I would like to read from you who participated is: what was your reason for choosing what you voted for?

To help you understand why I included the RPG's I did in the poll, I will tell you what my Answers are to the above question.

AD&D: Classic Characters that transcend genre such as Fighters, Mages, and Rouges. Classic Monsters such as Kobolds, Goblins, Trolls, and Bizarre Mutant Things such as Dangerous Protoplasmic Blobs and Plants.

Cyberpunk: The Matrix Punk-Styled Gangers, Light Cyborgs and High Tech Character Classes.

Gamma World: Mutants of all types, particularly Animal-Humanoids.

Rifts: Super High Tech Nations struggling to rule the new world. Specifically The Coalition, and New German Republic.
Super Powerful Mutants and The Bizarre Aliens. 

Shadow Run: The Sci-Fantasy-Horror combined element, which made classic AD&D and Cyberpunk Characters even more interesting. 

Now that you know more or less what I am thinking about sculpting perhaps you can better answer when I ask you what would you like to see done.

Please feel free to respond here with your Blog I.D. I have the comments feature OPEN (But Moderated).

15MM Tabletop RPG POLL

Which Classic Sci-Fi-Horror Games Would You Most Like To Play On The 15MM Tabletop?

Poll Choices: AD&D, Cyberpunk, Gamma World, Rifts, Shadow Run, Other.

I think that many of you know I am found of RPG, and that I am working to make some 15MM figures to represent some of the Classic Monsters and General Character Types from my favorite games.

I would like to know, what do you want to see done for the 15MM Tabletop?

If the poll does not include your favorite games, please feel welcomed to list them in your response to this topic.

Note: I will not be making exact copies from any game, but I am certainly going to do some very serviceable "Nots" for us to enjoy.
