[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 3485987, member: 42040"] Probably because the games aren't being played "by-the-book" correctly. Not to say there's something wrong with them, just that I doubt it's completely accurate or anything more than a rough estimation of the tabletop gaming experience. You play the game "correctly" in that you and your group have fun. No one can dispute it if you enjoy it. But it's impossible to follow the letter of the rules of the d20 System without minis and a battlemat. Absolutely impossible. If you're not using minis and a battlemat, you're not following WotC's plan for the game. Look at their recent modules, with the Delve Format's focus on skirmish battles. If you were to take away the encounter write-ups, you'd have very little left. I'm not trying to bash anybody, so please no one take it that way. If you can make it work with narrative and no minis or battlemats, then the blessings of Cuthbert be with you. Retreater [/QUOTE]
