Tourq gave me some mini counters and horse minis for free and my group loves them. We use the mini counters all the time!

@ Jester

You’re exactly right. My wife is a Michael’s freak. I thought about ordering them directly from the company that makes them, but it’s more expensive that way.

I’m positive those horse minis come from a Michael’s (the craft store) tube of plastic horses, but with bases glued on. I’ve bought a tube from Micaheel’s myself and made my own horses (most of them are perfect scale) but it’s nice that there’s an option for people who don’t have a similar store near them.

Great reviews! Might have to pick up a couple of these…

@ NewbieDM

Thanks for the review, it’s much appreciated. As for the glue coming undone on one of the horses, sorry about that. I just switched to a new glue – perhaps I’ll go back. I’ll have a replacement horse in the mail by tomorrow. Thanks again!

@ Colmarr

I get the horses in packs of 10-12, and then mix them up (there’s a variety of them). They are not from WotC.

@Noumenon

When I put the packs together, I just mix the horses up. If there’s anything you want in particular, just let me know. I’m happy to oblige.

Stuffer Shack sells an equally useful set of horse minis at 5 for $14.00, or about $2.80 a horse.

What’s the color mix on those horses? Do you get a white one? Oh, I see by clicking on the link you get one matched pair and three others, but if you buy the hero’s bundle you do get a white one and a gray Shadowfax one too.

In the photo of the horse minis, are they both Stuffer Shack horses or is one of them the WotC one. They look quite different.

Glad you like the treasure pack! My if I link the review on my Reviews page?

“The only thing it does not do is add weapons or armor to the mix.”

The “Artifacts” check box adds just that to the treasure parcels. I can’t use the stuff from the PHB because the GSL is very specific about no one ever making any software that uses anything from 4e ever. That’s also why the treasure parcel amounts aren’t exact – that stuff isn’t in the GSL, either. It’s technically a “4e style treasure parcel” gen. I know you’re not the only one disappointed by that, but unfortunately there’s nothing I can do.
