| In the new Design and Development article it subtly mentions the aspect of Vecna. Is this their way of giving us a preview this week?

| Not sure, as they nerfed the rust monster not long ago and after the article some people thought it could be in BW. But it wasn't.
I sincerely hope an aspect of Vecna is on the way (and it would fit "unhallowed" theme fantastically well). | |

| | The rust monster article was an RPG design/development article, though. This is a DDM design/development article. | |

| | It's got to be a hint to a mini in an upcoming set. There are too many Aspect's that they could have mentioned instead for them not to have done it on purpose. | |

| | Most of the Aspects were in the Miniatures Hndbook, right? Anyone see if the Aspect of Vecna is there? If so, I wouldn't be surprised o see it soon. | |

| | The context in which they mention the Aspect of Vecna is in the RPG side of D&D. This isn't to say that they won't make an Aspect of Vecna mini, but I would take it for what it's worth, an example. | |

| | I think that it's possible they may make (or have already made) the Aspect of Vecna. I don't think this blurb in the article is enough of an indication to know either way if it is a hint or not. | |

True, this pic looks like a basic skeleton warrior. The 2nd edition Vecna was more fleshy (The Vecna reborn cover pic is awesome).

| This one?
http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=17523
I like the aspect it would be missing the eye and hand. I do enjoy his story too. I was on this Living Greyhawk adventure where we hallucinated back to the time when all his s%*& went down and it was exciting.
Does he have a penilty to spellcasting for only one hand?  | |

It'll probably be in unhallowed, rather fitting.
LOL yeah I'm betting that Unhallowed will have a higher # of minis for Undead types.
Can't wait!
