I am a very visual person - if you give me instructions, no matter how close, I will get lost. But if I have a map, I can drive cross country. We used grids and minis back with 2nd ed years ago and used handy Tact-tiles up through 3e to now with 4th. I played in a 1st ed campaign about three years ago - I got through 2 sessions before I had to quit. Not that I wanted to, but I had to - I just couldn't keep track of all that stuff in my head anymore and they were specifically no-mini people. So I guess I am just handicapped like that, or the people who say you need a grid are just like me. D&D and minis have always gone together for me - although I applaud those that can game without them. I do feel that 4e is to this date, the most grid-reliant system. I mean I am sure there is a way for me to play 4e without a grid, but that's like running my car off of bald eagles - even if I could, I wouldn't want to go through the trouble.</blockquote>
