[QUOTE="Benimoto, post: 4963885, member: 40093"] Well, to me, some sort of a beam-and-mirror puzzle is certainly something strange and fantastic, and having physical, correctly-themed props enhances the immersion. Having read Penny Arcade off and on, Gabe (the DM in question) strikes me as sort of an arty type that pays a lot of attention to presentation. People always try to argue that presentation doesn't matter, but I've never really bought it. Really though, I'm just a sucker for effort and creativity. I love it that he says he went out and bought little craft-store mirrors to set up his puzzle. I love that he evidently picked through his collection of minis (I see D&D Minis, WoW minis and metal minis) to get ones that most closely represented the monsters. I love any kind of effort that DMs or players take to make their games more fun, and I think I get a little defensive when I perceive people attacking that. [/QUOTE]
