Hi! I want to see if an idea I had meets some consensus.D&D minis: they are used in the Adventure System boardgames, in Dungeon Command, in the "old" DDM game (Original edition and Revised edition), in the D&D RPG.
Now, it hurts me that Wizards put out this wonderful line, and didnt jump on the boat of the cross-compatibility. That would have been easy for them; instead, they left some of these high-potential games in the dust.
Now: I HAVE A DREAM.
I wonder if there is anyone so passionate and interested, that is willing to help for this utopian dream: having EVERY miniature of EVERY D&D miniature set (starting from Harbinger up to Lords of madness) usable for:
1) D&D RPG
2) DDM Original Edition
3) DDM Revised Edition
4) D&D Adventure System boardgames
5) Dungeon Command
Now for every point:
1) Nothing to do, Wizards give stats in the monster books
2) Nothing to do, DDM GUILD already provided stats even for latest sets (and will go on doing)
3) Nothing to do, DDM GUILD already provided stats even for latest sets (and will go on doing)
Whats still lacking - and needs to be done - is:
4) Developing custom Adventure System Monster cards / Ally cards with tactics, and Heroes, Villain and Boss sheets for every miniature of the line (deciding if every miniature should be a monster, a Villain, a villain boss, an ally or a hero)
5) Developing custom Dungeon Command cards for every miniature of the Line
VIP and kind fellows that we all know have already made professional looking templates for both games:

I dont have photoshop and I could not help with images, but I could try to help with the tactics of Adventure System boardgames. Some other ones could help with the DC ideas, and the creation of the actual cards and the PrinterStudio / Artscow decks for both games. As the only art on the AS cards, we could use the actual Wizards' little images of the miniatures, available for every set on their site.
Would you be interested? I am talking to VIP fellows (GeckoTH, Autoduelist, Ninjadorg, ChromaticDragon, Meltorefas - I already know you are passionate), and to anyone I dont know but willing to help.
Of course this would be a gigantic work, several people would be needed, and I honestly think like 0.01% probability to find someone so passionate for it. I dare to ask, though . I can only imagine the awesomeness and fun of having every D&D miniature that hit the market cross-compatible with all these games (I am a collector, and I own them all!!!!).
One last note to the VIP fellows: guys you are amazing, and seems we like same games: wherever I go (Lord of the Rings LCG section, D&D AS section, Dungeon Command Section, Descent section) I always see awesomeness from GeckoTH, Autoduelist, Ninjadorg, ChromaticDragon, Meltorefas. Hell, I'd hire you! Thank you! You already made some excellent works on additional miniatures, and it was by looking at your works that this idea stumbled on my mind...
