[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 2053542, member: 3854"] I'm using some of the same minis in my D&D3 game, in 2005, that I used in my BD&D and AD&D1 games back in 1980. My mini collection has tripled in the last two years, but that is more a consequence of being an adult with disposable income. I have always DMed with minis, even games other than D&D. I have occassionally played as a Player without minis, but those combats proved to be chaotic from the stand point of everyone in the game understanding what was going on in the battle. No one ever has the same layout in their mind's eye, but with minis on the table, it is all clear. Every game I've played *without* minis supported my reasons for playing *with* minis. I even played some AD&D2 with minis. <gasp> The acceptance of minis in the D&D3 game system is merely D&D coming back to its roots, and officializing the way I have always played. And as for does my mini collection drive the encounters. In some regards, yes. I like to make monsters based on minis I have. And I will buy a mini based on an upcoming encounter. I like sitting a mini on the battlemat and saying to the Players, "This is what steps from around the corner." I just wish I had time to paint my unpainted minis. It is amazing sometimes to see their faces when the mini's size is compared next to their minis. The 45' tall elder treant, and the 35' tall fiendish treant was impressive. Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
