[QUOTE="Lord Xtheth, post: 4833343, member: 56179"] Back in the highschool days of D&D (2ed) I remember seeing the big maps for mini use included in some box sets and I remember thinking "Wow, this is way too bulky, I'll never use Minis for this game!" and we didn't. Then the turn of the millenium came about and 3E made its way into our group, and I remember all of us groaning "Oh no, they're forcing us to use minis!" but in the end we refused and continued playing the game mini-free. Then 4E poked its head out... and I didn't think about minis for 10 seconds... until I read the books. "Oh no, they REALY made this game rely on minis now... but lets try it without and see if we can do it" so we tried, and it worked. But then one day we decided to try with minis. I've gone back and played 3.5 now a couple times and I find myself saying "wait, lets get some minis out so we can see whats going on!" or "He can't flank, pull out your minis, I'll show you what I mean". I can't go back to playing without some kind of mini representation. The adult in me likes the tactical layout of things The kid in me wants to kick the adult in me's ass [/QUOTE]
