Barney Stinson Gamer?

I watched it Monday night, and noticed the oversized D20 and what I am positive was a DDM mini on the table in front of young Barney.

If I still have it on DVR I'm pretty sure I can ID the mini more accurately after I get home.

(not having seen the episode, from what i gather as discussed here -- basically, barney went from "game player" to just "player" based on a challenge to bed women?

It might be paid product placement from WotC. There was a post a while back from Scott Rouse saying that they did something similar (though more extensive) in Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles.

The fact that they actually bothered with minis, a screen, and a d20 suggests it. Or maybe a writer just brought in his own gear.

Pretty much right on, it was the turning point in his life that turned him into the sexual predator he is today.
