When I play Shadowrun 4 I use poker chips for keeping track of my Edge use (it feels great to toss down a chip to signify burning a point of Edge) and I actually hand crafted <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58097803@N00/198488168/" target="_blank">custom d6 for playing.</a>As for the OGL/SRD, I'm with Monte Cook on this one (as linked in the current news on the main page).  They'll only toast it if they are stunned. Even more so if the head deeper into mini territory.  Why?  Because if minis are where they are making their money, and if they exclude minis from the SRD then they get other people to help do their low margin work for them and rake in the mini cash! Duh.No, but shifting the majority of rule 0 out of the DM's sole disgression, and either into the group or discouraging it altogether, would mesh far better with minis or cards.  As well it'll help in the long run to clear up a number of pathological tendancies at gaming tables.</blockquote>
