Silver Crusade

This has probably been brought up many times before, but I am finishing painting my Bones 2 miniatures in preparation for getting my Bones 3.

But for Bones miniatures, is there any chance Reaper will stop having them glued together at the manufacturer for the smaller character miniatures?

Not only do I often find myself breaking apart miniatures to be able to easily paint them, but I swear a full 10% of my Bones 2 order were glued together so badly that there was either a glob of the hot glue they use, or the pieces were not fully pressed together when glued, or in one case an arm was glued on backwards.

It took me longer to try and either pull the pieces apart, or cut them without damage as it would have taken me to glue my whole order.

I know the Bones series is a popular but cheaper alternative to metal miniatures, but I think it would improve customer satisfaction greatly. At least in my case.

Silver Crusade

I run Pathfinder games, and will be running PFS games using Fantasy Grounds II on my Mac, as it does seem to be head and shoulders better than the other options out there, overall. Others may have virtual lighting, line of sight reveal, or other fancy gimmicks, which would be nice, but having tried Roll20, D20pro and others with my gaming groups, I finally tried FG2 when they did a subscription instead of asking for a $140 layout of cash, and my gaming groups said "this is the one".

Online character sheets, more accurate rolling of modifiers, spell effects linked to spells, and better integration with Hero Lab, were the main points my group liked.
The cool dice were a bonus.

I also noticed that they got the official Wizards of the Coast nod and can host licensed products, and get official support.

However, Paizo does not seem to officially support any VTT environments and while I can manually enter the information for the games I run, I have to wonder why not.

I think there was rumors of an official Paizo VTT years ago, but that seems to have died an ignoble death at the hands of a goblin.

I know change can happen, but I am wondering if it is at all being considered by Paizo.
