I use Dwarven Forge and Reaper minis every chance I get.
That interesting. I can't say I get that feeling when moving in and out of combat. In D&D I try to maintain an awareness of my characters' mechanics outside of combat and of their personalities and RP history in combat. It doesnt feel like two different games to me. If the battlemap did give me that sensation I could see not enjoying it's use....Hobo said:It isn't really bad, no. It isn't very preferable either, though. When I'm playing a roleplaying game, I don't much like to stop playing the roleplaying game and play a tactical miniatures minigame.
I try to too, and I think I'm reasonably successful at it, but I think the mechanics being written as they are--where some kind of visual representation of combat is almost essential to avoid combat just being a confusing nightmare--certainly hinders me rather than helps me in that regard. D&D in combat and D&D out of combat feel like two different games.Kahuna Burger said:That interesting. I can't say I get that feeling when moving in and out of combat.
