[QUOTE="Shellman, post: 2181754, member: 16067"] In my groups game, all the players prefer to have a miniature to represent there character. Out of all the DM's and players in our group, most of us have at least a small collection of miniatures for personal use. Whoever is DM at the time, usually uses counters for most of the bad guys for a couple reasons. First, there are usually too many bad guys to be able to place the right miniature on the table for each one. Second, finding the right mini out of a large collection takes too much time for the DM, he usually has other game issues to concentrate on. On a side note, I have personally bought a lot of figures, because I like to use them whenever I DM or play. I actually have a large collection at my DM's house for him to use if he wants; but he usually uses counters, so I am thinking of packing them up and bringing them home so none of them disappear/ walk away! As a whole, use figures for the PC's and different colored counters for different bad guys! That usually works well for us. [/QUOTE]
