[QUOTE="happyhermit, post: 7404409, member: 6834463"] No. I was responding to someone's post about their experience and opinion with my own experience, because I find it interesting that we were finding the similar things in opposite techniques. I wasn't telling them they should use Totm because it's the right tool for the job or for any other reason. I wasn't implying that they just didn't know how to run Totm well enough. They weren't doing that either. Sure, for myself though, when running I find more and more that the things I used to pull minis out for are going over better in Totm. Anyone can say; "You just aren't good enough, try harder. You will see how much better they are for those situations" but I've seen a LOT of GMs run with mini's so if there are some tricks that will radically swing this around they are well hidden. Not to mention I actually have a lot of other issues with minis, but I never brought them up because I don't think the intention of this thread was to be some debate over which is better, or to dump on a style you don't favour.
