[QUOTE="Thasmodious, post: 4325150, member: 63272"] Many, many groups, including mine, have played with miniatures since the 1e/BD&D days. Being as miniatures were the inspiration for the game in the first place, it is a bit off base to claim that 1e and 2e were miniature free games of imagination that the evil 3e killed with a lead longsword. 3e saw the game adapt to the way the majority of people played D&D. The cornerstone of imagination is not a lack of visual aids and the use of visual aids does not squash imagination. Playing the game without miniatures is easy to do in any edition you want to, go ahead. But don't sit there and imply that using miniatures is some inferior, imagination squashing, n00b version of fantasy RPGs. Actually, with statements like this: I'd say it's you who seems to be imaginatively challenged and not the legions of gamers who use miniatures and battlemats to enhance their gaming experience.
