Disposable MonstersFeb 24, 2009 | 1:51 pm
The Disposable Heroes system was down last night while I performed several upgrades to complete its functionality for oversized figures -- dragons and such. It still needs some testing, but is pretty much ready. The hardest part was not getting it to draw the figures property, but to space them vertically. You have to remember that you will be able to select normal-sized figures along with the large ones, so they need to shift to the next line properly. I don't recommend doing this however, and the ability to do so will be extremely limited as the large figures will not appear on the Mix and Match page. Still, this had to be done for all three formats, each with different sizes. Granted, the counters were easiest, because they are merely 2x2" squares as opposed to 1x1" ones.

I haven't finalized the maximum size for the large figures (the frame height) yet. I'm thinking about 1.75x to 2x the height of a normal figure. I need your input, so please measure the height of any large 25-30mm scale metal or plastic miniatures you have and let me know what they're like.

Brett,



I measured a Bronze Dragon from the 'Heroscape' Game. They are normal-sized figures. It is 3.5 inches tall, but with the wings outstretched in the 'up' position, it is 6 inches tall. Does that help?

That's a bit too large for paper. 2.75" or less seems optimum.
