[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9388655, member: 6801228"] Why would I want to come up with 100 reasons to disprove my own point? Also, how many of those niche reasons [We are fighting in an active volcano, there is sufluric acid raining from the sky, the floor is a massive ooze that exclusively eats wood] are going to happen continuously from levels 1 to 5? Frankly, if every fight I was in from level 1 to level 5 had my archer character unable to recover arrows.... I'd ask the DM if they have a problem with my character, since they seem bound and determined to prevent me from having arrows. Was typing fast, might not have been clear. The Map also costs money, and if you start just using graph paper, most things you can use for minis are too big for the graph paper. Interesting observation. I wonder if that sort of thinking could be extended to OTHER areas of the game... But you listed use of miniatures as unique to Old School. Which would make Theater of the Mind unique to New School then, right? When you said this? So is the complex Theater of the Mind style unique to New School? Yes, I have. Which is why I have been explaining to you how they work. No, pretty sure the two schools share a lot of features. Both are DnD after all. Lot of overlap in playing the same game, especially since it is usually the same edition of the game. [/QUOTE]
