Inkwell has done an excellent job meeting a niche for paper minis for a Fantasy Environment. The quality of the PDF files I received (still waiting on the actual prints from the company) are excellent.

Fantastic piece with an easy to read, understand and use license.

I have been looking for a good blue dragon for a while for a project and this one is perfect.

Absolutely amazing quality artwork being made available from the Inkwell imprint. Each new release is consistently another high quality piece of full color art with an extremely easy to work with license for small publishers to get the absolute most out of in regards to value and usage.

Inkwell may have just just raised the standard on what to expect from stock art in regards to value for price.

Absolutely amazing detail for a piece of stock art. Talk about raising the standard. Was looking for a piece of stock art to represent a Water Elemental, found something I wanted to print and hang on my wall. Inkwell has made quite an impressive entrance into the market of stock art, and I can not wait to see what else they will be bringing to the table.

Great piece and exactly what I needed when I needed it for a price I could not say no to.

The image is a good size, and really, really good.

Will be getting more of these soon.

I agree that this was a really nice set of art before the revision and the additional monsters are gravy. Never bought anything from Inkwell before.

I thought it was a great product before Inkwell revised it, it is an even better product now. I am not sure why the other reviewers felt disappointed. I have never disliked an Inkwell product, so maybe I am biased

I bit the bullet and paid the $15. The ad copy is very misleading: they included multiple copies of several pages, to pad their image count, so the 250 creatures is exaggerated, unfortunately. However, what you get is decent, though not as good as I would expect for that kind of cash.

If you visit the producer's web site, you will be able to see everything that is included within this set: http://inkwellideas.com/monster-stand-ins/

Everything on that page is included, the dragons, giants, PC figures, as well as the animals. I would really have preferred more monsters, especially the less common types, as I can print as many copies of any given page, as I like -- I don't need multiple copies of any page included in the PDF...

I applied clear contact paper to my printed 110# cardstock sheets, cut them out, scored them on the fold lines, and then I scored them 2/16" above the bottom edges, to make small, paper bases that fold perpendicular to the standing figures (makes the figures upside-down, T-shaped). A small amount of white glue smeared on the back, just like you would do with a paper model's tabs, press together, and then mount on a properly sized piece of peel-n-stick floor tile (~$0.58/sq. ft.), and you have monster/PC counters, durable enough to last for many years.

There are some nice, additional figures included within the set: multiple types of dogs, including a Basset Hound; a hawk, a fox, opossum (possibly a Giant Rat?), and other animal types. Unfortunately, some of the animal figures have mistakes: the bat swarm is upside-down, on one side, when folded, as is the rat swarm, and spider swarm. The Rottweiler, German Shepard, and Doberman counters are very handy for War Dog counters, giving some variety of choice in breeds, but Irish Wolfhounds would have been good, too.

For an RPG, I cannot afford to buy mini's for every monster I might use in a game. I will never use all 350+ monsters within the original AD&D Monster Manual, but it would really be nice to have a paper stand-in for all of them, just in case...

To its credit, there are three different sizes of Elementals of each type. They represent the 8/16/24 HD versions rather nicely. The Dragons are entirely too small for an accurate counter representation, but they can easily be scanned, and up-scaled, as needed. Same thing for the Giants: too small, but easy to up-scale. Many of the other, larger creatures, are really too small, as presented, but they can be sized to what you need/prefer, with a little extra work.

The groupings on the pages leave something to be desired, as well. Again, I may make up my own 'pages' of figures to scan and print more of what I need, to maximize my output. there is quite a bit of white space on the borders of the pages, which likely could be eliminated, to maximize output per page of cardstock, but that is not too big of an issue.

Overall, not a terrible set, but the price is very steep for what you get: 250 figures, with way too many duplicates, and not enough variety (Will-O-Wisps, strangely enough, were included, but many other things were not -- too bad). Still, they are very affordable compared to buying/painting figures for every monster you may need during the course of your gaming life. Even though no painting is required, the cutting, gluing, and mounting, takes effort, and time. It is pretty mindless, though, so if you organize, and do it assembly-line style, you will churn out counters pretty quickly. Maybe with some feedback, the publisher will improve the content. Cheers!
