[QUOTE="AntiPaladin, post: 4285945, member: 63740"] I don't think that emphasizing miniatures will diminish the player base. There are tons of people that enjoy the collectible aspect of the hobby. Look at the millions of people that play collectible card games, minis could be the thing that finally convinces some of them to start playing D&D. I admit, randomized booster boxes is a shameless way to promote consumerism, but I'm an American damnit and I get off on that stuff. I did chores as an 11 year old to buy Magic cards, and I still get an amount of pleasure far greater than $12 when I open up a new box of minis. I always get at least one that is unexpectedly interesting. It can be a good thought experiment as a DM to go through a stack of miniatures and mentally organize them into an adventure. But wait, I was so busy spending my money on plastic army men that I forgot that I'm not role playing anymore. I'm just mindlessly moving minis around on a grid like a war game, crap! [/QUOTE]
