[QUOTE="Verdande, post: 5274547, member: 69093"] It all goes in your head. Nothing says that you have to use miniatures for anything unless you absolutely, one hundred per cent all want to. Nothing at all. I personally depise the use of miniatures at the table- it never works for me, and makes the battles seem more static than they should. If you're looking for easy, seat-of-the-pants play, you can also try one of several retro-clones, such as [URL="http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/"]Swords and Wizardry[/URL] and [URL="http://www.goblinoidgames.com/"]Labyrinth Lord[/URL]. They're, basically, cleaned up and re-organized versions of old-school games released for free. I'd recommend LL or S&W above AD&D, since they cut away a lot of the chaff that AD&D has had creep into its system over time. Or perhaps OSRIC, found at [URL="http://knights-n-knaves.com/osric/"]this location[/URL]. It's worth a look, if for no other reason than the rules are often more clearly written than the original. Nothing beats the actual books, of course, but these are some resources you can look into if you like. Props for rocking it old-school, by the way.
