[DL] Newbie question: miniatures

[matt ryan <mrr15@cornell.edu>]

Hello everyone,

How many of you use miniatures during play? I did a little web surfing last 
night and was impressed by the multitude of western figures available in 
25mm scale. I hate to sound like a rube, but I am continually impressed by 
the variety of Old West games. I fell like the fragile walls of my 
fantasy/D&D past, Ars Magica near-past RPG world are caving in.

So . . . anyone's favorite miniature companies and applicable websites 
would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
