[QUOTE="cdrcjsn, post: 4101187, member: 60486"] I feel bad for your LG experience. Roleplaying is abundant in the LG games I play. Might be a function of players or DMs in your area. As for the question at hand...is it just my impression, or do most people arguing for the boardgame feel of 4e seem to not use battlemaps in their games currently? I never used battlemaps for basic, 1e, or 2e. I played my first several sessions of 3.0 before buying my first battlemap. For those that don't use battlemaps, I highly encourage you to get one, regardless of the game system you use. I can't recall all the time I've wasted in arguments over positioning prior to using battlemaps. Using battlemaps doesn't mean you roleplay less. The battle grid doesn't appear under your character's feet unless combat occurs typically, so I really don't understand the "less roleplaying" argument. Other than throwing insults in character, what sort of roleplaying do people do during actual combat? If combat doesn't occur, then there is no battlemap. [/QUOTE]
