[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9158985, member: 7025282"] I have more to add! I so enjoy physical components. I am not against theater of the mind at times like the old days but the extra hobbies and collecting have been fun. Crafting terrain etc. has been a big part of things for me too. Last night I finished painting a pack of worgs. I glued them to clear bases after cutting them off of their pre molded ones. It’s a big project. They came with riders that I was not big on so I sawed them in half and sawed some D&D goblins and or modified other miniature goblins…painting and flying them on is phase two! While a lot of people have a lot of adjacent hobbies I have enjoyed most of mine being wrapped up in various aspects of D&D: playing, DMiing, collecting, crafting and painting. I love the shared language and stories. Remembering games from years past is fun in a way that recounting wargame scenarios cannot match. (They’re fun but not as evocative for me. Now sharing with my kids I get to participate with their imagination. We have only played a little so far by both daughters have been drawing their characters just like I did back then….with no prompting! Decades of fun…from many different angles. And the history! We played and bought becmi last year which was fun. I am into 5e but it would be a hoot to do a 1e campaign again… Of all the nonessential things in life this one has been most essential for me. Take movies and vide games and wargames if you must but leave me with D&D! [/QUOTE]
