[QUOTE="Traveon Wyvernspur, post: 5658736, member: 73201"] Same here [MENTION=18701]Oryan77[/MENTION] I started out in 2E, we didn't use minis at all, just some dirty pennies and a piece of scratch paper if we needed something to represent or reference the general layout of things. Didn't use Minis in 3.x either, just kept with the very simple and cinematic. Upon getting into 4E, that's when I started to play with minis just because it is so required. At first I hated it, felt it didn't allow me to use my imagination enough because I was concentrating on distances and the minis on the board making it feel more like a board game than a game which was done in the imagination. I've since become used to using the minis and have a collection of around 100 now, I use them all the time in my 4E games and am now part of a pathfinder game in which the GM is using them. They don't bother me as much anymore, but I still think back fondly on the days where we used the dirty pennies... [/QUOTE]
