Yah. That. With a little bit of variation (some minis fit tighter than others). But since the minis themselves are so light, you kind of instinctively grab the "whole thing" and move it around without putting any thought into it. It so far hasn't been noticeable to me. I suppose you could, like...

Was just at Neoncon and picked up a buncha these super slick recessed bases for miniatures from dapperdevil.com I bought several different colors for like 90 cents each in a 10 pack. A heck of a deal. They were also selling bases for tiny, small and large. I coulda dropped a ton of money there!

I like it. I can't say I really understand why folks who play D&D wouldn't. Clearly, they are trying to play towards an audience that would recognize the images and/or be interested enough to go find out more. I'm not sure what folks would prefer in a commercial for D&D. That's not to say this...

Well, mostly, it was non sequitur. Nowhere did I make any claims that I was good at either role playing or optimizing. But, I think I have made it pretty clear that my beef is with folks that claim one way of playing is better than another. But I'll state it again. Anytime anyone rolls dice...

Totally, I agree 100% MOST of the people I have encountered are the former.

To be fair, I'm sure, that others have had the opposite experience. But I hear your sentiment. If only because the hyperboly points out how absurdly one sided this issue really is (in my estimation). When was the last time someone said (out loud), "Boy, those pure role players got it all wrong...

I was really skeptical that I'd like this set much, but EVERY box I open is like christmas. The sculpts are SO good. Best. Set. Ever.

I'm pretty sure you can do that with Acrobat reader. I know you can do it with the full version (what I use, I don't have reader to try it out, sorry) If your program won't export to a PDF so you can open it in Acrobat, use something like dopdf to convert the file first. Naturally, if you're...

Well, by substance I guess i mean... you know making decisions based on the motives of your character, not yourself... choosing something in game that may not be in the characters best interest because you know it would be "in charecter" Oh, and not meta-gaming... not distributing treasure to...

Well, I certainly don't mean to offend. I'm sorry if I did. I think you may have read a bit too much into what I was saying. I really don't think being bad at strategy is a weakness. It is what it is. Some people are good at drawing, some people are good at funny voices, story telling and some...

Well, that's a good point. I'll definitely concede that skill at something must germinate from a desire and then (as jonesy points out) grow from motivation. This clearly makes good sense. I completely agree. But, and this is likely to offend and I'm sorry about that, I really do think there...

Your spot on there. You have to practice something to get good at it. Your totally right! However, you do have to practice. And, you cant practice football by watching it, you have to do it. Just like you have to practice the afore mentioned RPG "skills" by doing them (and doing them correctly...

There is never a point where I would think people play games for the reason I do. Certainly not. Neither do I think that folks covertly enjoy something that they profess not to. My point (clearly obscured, sorry about that) was that anecdotally I have observed that some folks like to point out...

No, but see... thats my point. Nobody is good at tactics (as an example) because they want to be. If they aren't good at tactics, it's usually because, well, they aren't. Nobody decides to be good at chess. You either have a penchant for it or you don't. That sounds kinda harsh, but it's...

I personally hate it when somebody hijacks a game in the name of role playing, just to feed their ego.

Ditto. Totally. I've played and run 100's of games from my FLGS, to my parents basement to Gencon and I never see roleplaying of the caliber people talk about online. I once went to a game where the GM's out of town buddy showed up to play. After discovering what my character was, he...

I totally get what the OP is saying. Mine is a case study, certainly not a statistical analysis, but I have played all sorts of RPG's with dozens of different folks over the years. in those games I hear all the time how people dislike "cheesy characters" "min-maxing" and prefer roleplaying, yet...

I purchased this tonight at my FLGS. What a great time it was! We had a bit of confusion about what all the tokens were for, but we sorted it out after we played it a second time. My only complaint? The back of the box has this written: Please retain package for future reference. Wha?!? What...
