That sculpt is awesome, and really brings the spirit of the card to life while being it's own thing altogether. And, I'll agree that both male and female versions would be pretty darn cool.

Perfect Thanos. Absolutely perfect. I will order this and a bit more as soon as it is available.

I have an artifact card "genie lamp" in my quest pack which keeps the genie on the board for one extra turn and each turn thereafter that the hero rolls a 6. Controlling the genie counts as a spell action. The figure will work well as a reminder of the extended spell effect.

I've been looking forward for the Kickstarter to finish up so that I can order more "dungeon clutter" and duplicate a few furniture pieces. A couple of the dungeon pieces are a good bit smaller compared to the originals (cupboard is a good example) and with my bigger board, some rooms which should be crowded, end up looking empty. Adding barrels, crates, sacks, a narrow book case, benches, and chairs etc. would nicely fill space when needed. I already plan to use my Palantir and/or magic portal to fill space by near sorcerers table. And of course I will also order those new female adventurers!

The extra spells are to summon an Elemental as in Wind, Fire, Ice or Water, each with their own unique abilities/uses. Previously for the fire, i'd been using the Dragon Strike mini. That Rock beast on the card would be amazing.


Actually was thinking of some elementals down the line :D It's on the "want to make list" ;)

Pretty imposing, with the smoke around 38mm if I recall correctly, the 3d print is on one of the machines now, so will do a picture tomorrow for you if i get a little time free :)

Lol ;) genies male and female, are not clad in much usually ... do i risk this again? xD lol

Glad you like him QorDaq :D

Sounds like a cool idea, Whitebeard! It always irked me that the genie was never seen as a model - as it went too fast! (hence this model! lol) your house rule artifact is the perfect excuse to keep him around longer |_P Do you have your card available to print? Id use that in games :D

Caution: The page *should* be setup perfectly for US Letter paper, but my printer adds a margin or something and the cards print slightly smaller??? You may want to zoom in and grab a bitmap then reprint the card or cards the way you like?

I have since revised the "dream catcher" to be limited to 9 mind points worth of monsters. And I'm thinking that many of these should instead be "spell components" which are regularly found and discarded if a 5 or 6 is rolled after it's use. This way the wizard always has stuff to find and collect, like the heroes who routinely lose weapons to rust and other effects.

Generally spoken, you are probably right. Not worth the hazzle.
But I'd like to add that whom we all have before our inner eyes now is of course Barbara Eden, who was absolutely sexy as Jeannie, but, despite she called him "master", frequently bossed Larry Hagman around and was certainly the active part in the relationship.
Have a look ;)

The advertising graphics look awesome, I would buy the set if I had any money to spare.

Actually, when I backed Cynthia's pledge, I didn't "want one", as I have no use for djinns in my current games. I like the looks of Zealot's djinn very much (and that's an underestimation, he absolutely kicks ass), and think a female version could be a worthwile addition, that's all.
As for the "female" djinn in your link - if I added Milliput breasts to Zealot's djinn, he would actually look more "female" than this one:

Barbara Eden showed allot of figure and almost no skin. As Jennie she was certainly funny. Loved that show.
