I'm working on an uber-rules light system (basically everything is based off a 2d6+Stat vs Difficulty) and am wondering if there's much demand for such a thing. The group I play D&D3.5 with seems to be a mix of thise who like to play it really loose (the DM for instance) and hardcore rules-mongers who have the PHB and DMG memorized and like to trot out the rules for "attacks of opportunity in a dark hallway vs. favored enemies on the night of a full moon" at the drop of a dime.
I've seen more and more companies releasing "cardboard counters", those little sheets of cardboard that you cut out a picture from, fold at the seams, and use in place of pewter or plastic miniatures. I can't help but find these things ugly as hell: I've seen people releasing sets based on movie licenses: screenshot a movie, hastily and poorly stitch out the character in question, and blammo, Pinhead, DC10!
