Ok, I realize this is going to sound like an ad, but it's only because I've been following this thing for a while, and it's finally gone live, and I know I can't be the only person here who finds this interesting!
I delve in the occasional tabletop game, and am always curious to find miniatures that resemble my MMO characters, for reasons that ought to be easy enough to figure out here. It's always been a luck thing before, but now, there's a company called heroforge that is doing for the typical gamer what shapeways does for artists - turns your creation into 3d Print.
Heroforge went up this week after a kickstarter, and geeky types can now go to their site and design a miniature for themselves, which they can have custom 3d printed and shipped, using an interface very much like an MMO character creator.
In other words - you can get your character out of the computer and on to the table.
A little futzing around with it, and I have a pretty decent-looking version of my main:

They have a screenshot generator in the editor, so let's see what YOUR characters could look like on a tabletop - and if you have a gamer on your Holiday gift life - or if you yourself want to hint to somebody about it, this could be the thing.
No, again, I don't work for them! Wish I did, though...
