I like that idea. I made some "position counters" depicting a person in various positions, and place them on the counter if the unit isn't standing. Positions include standing anyway, picking up something, prone, kneeling, unconscious, and dead.

more counters that match current artwork for monsters

counters for more weapon configurations combos

counters for more typical extra races (elves & dwarves)

counters of pregen characters

counters of basic dungeon or lair obstacles (tables, armory, altars...)

megahexes and

although I already bought it, but an extension Phil Reed's Dungeon Challenge cards.

A GM screen with

...artwork than spans the entire outside.
...inside has a dry erase blank panels (right)
...dry erase combat initiative grid tracker (left)
...panels of the very basics (combat turn description, options, skill resolution and suggested thresholds for extra dice)

They always consult the players to see what they want to enhance their play experience.
Just so there is no misunderstanding, my only relation to SJGames is as a (quite happy) customer, so it is a fan of the game asking the poll question, not someone with any power (save for, perhaps, suggestion) to make anything happen with regard to TFT releases.

I'm with you on eagerly awaiting more counters, but how would a dwarf, elf, or halfling counter image look appreciably different from that of a human?

While I agree that counters are indelibly 'TFT' for many, the format does have limitations. If I'm going to spend good money on play-aids, I prefer a bit of an upgrade... hence the desire for deluxe cardboard pawns.

Actual 3d minis might be cool as well, but I've already got far more than I can ever use (damn you, Reaper!).

Index-size spell and talent cards would be extremely useful at my table.

I second 3D minis. Would love to have "official" TFT ones and they'd be fine to mix and match with counters in play.

BTW, as an alternative to cardboard pawns there's a product called 'Skinny Minis' that looks promising.

If more multi-hex counters are introduced I hope they'll keep the standard trick of the current counters.

Any hex next to a "head" is a front hex.
Any hex next to a "tail" is a rear hex.
Everything else is a side hex.

Understood. Even in the light of this new information, I still stand by my statement about Steve Jackson games, and how they are so connected to their community, and listen and respond to their suggestions/interests.

These look like a great idea--durable and very easy to store and organize. I wish the art were better; if there were pawns with art like that of Pat Hidy's classic TFT illustrations, I'd be all in, much as I enjoy counters.
