[QUOTE="Aldeon, post: 6010046, member: 6690450"] Mang, some of you guys make me feel like an infant in the hobby. I started out running games with maps drawn on grid paper (standard printer size) and taped together while using random small toys for miniatures, and NONE of them ever fit. (queue shame) We used [URL="http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/ProductImageCompressAll300/A019_1_20101118_e5b3d74d-4891-4bdc-b049-a5087a9fee41106671.jpg"]these Hamtaro figures[/URL] and [URL="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xw5PqgPjIk4/0.jpg"]some Pokémon toys[/URL] for any NPC or PC we had. That stayed as the norm from when I started at 13-14 til around the age of 17, although we ended up pulling out chess pieces as well to be less childish-looking. When I hit 18 or so, I discovered the fabled FLGS thing that I heard so much about on the Google. I started going there, bought myself a single Reaper mini for my PC and played with people who actually had boxes of game-appropriate minis. Now I'm 21, and it's sad to say that I'm still fairly poor. I have a dozen or so of the Pathfinder minis, which is my entire mini collection. I also have small figures of Yu-Gi-Oh! characters that I took from an old board game for characters in modern day campaigns.
