I agree with almost all Max's comments. The point were i am seing differently is the use of animals. This is a very old tradition in chess variants and fairy chess problems, and there is nothing wrong in perpetuating it. Look at the Alfonso X's codex in 1283 for a famous historical legacy. Yes, chess is a war game, but our vision on war has changed a lot in our modern era and it is nice that we are trying to play with other concepts than weapons. Back on Bob's designs, I don t see the need of creating pieces just to create pieces. If they are not supported by a variant, they will never be remembered. It seems that most of them are simply motivated by writing a Betza's string. Concerning the 3D designs, i fully agree with Max. Things are more demanding than assembling 2 objects from Thingiverse with Tinkercad. However, some designs presented here are nice, such as the Thunderbolt or the Ghost.
