[QUOTE="Keeper of Secrets, post: 1430863, member: 13836"] I used to resist it when minis were all metal and as such expensive. Though as time has gone on, and I had more money (because I got an actual job after graduating college) and the minis became less expensive (Mage Knight, Hero Clix, D&D), the cost was not really a factor any more. I honestly look back and wonder how I played without them. It makes combat go much much faster. I grab little things from around the house to represent an alter. I can get a videotape and lay it down, showing it is a raised platform and so on. (If you have small dogs, they tend to try and swipe the minis, let me promise you that.) I don't run D&D that often - I usually run Supers games. But they have been a godsend and I don't even have all that much combat in my supers games. If I ran D&D on a regular basis, I can assure you I would use minis every time. For those who are opposed to it, I would encourage you to at least try it. [/QUOTE]
