I can't help but worry a bit about the future of DDM.

At some point, we'll find the 'best' creature for each alignment, in each rough cost. For example, the displacer beast, large silver dragon, and orc warrior are the best all around creatures with respect to alignment/point cost. Although there are hundreds of creatures now in DDM, I'd say about half of them use one or more of a dozen 'top' creatures...and without retirement or some other device, that's how it's gonna be, perpetually.

Now, perhaps something better will come along (although I'm afraid to think of a better 3 point creature than the orc), but the only way it can happen is if there's a general power creep amongst the miniatures (say, and orc for the same cost that has has 1 pip better AC), but this is the equivalent to retirement.

Does anyone else see this happening, and if not, why not?

Take care,

Rick

Hiyas!

This is Rick Moscatello...any Louisiana gamers out there?

Also, did you, or anyone you know play Magic in the New Orleans area in the 90s? Bleiweiss has been blogging the most amazing smack and rubbish about his alleged skillz and popularity around here during that era, and I reckon it's time to call him out. I can track down most of the shop owners and such, but the more the merrier, after all. ;)

Laterz,

Rick
