[QUOTE="pming, post: 6588115, member: 45197"] Hiya! For me, I've never left the TotM play. It was good enough for me in '79/'80, it's good enough for me now! ;) Ok, so it's better than that. I tried to "get into miniatures for RPG's" back around the late '80s...spent hundreds of dollars on mini's, card-stock dungeon tiles, paints, even foliage (model train stuff works pretty dang well!). At *most* I would use them for 10 to 20 percent of the game. After a few months or trying this mini thing off and on, I realized it just wasn't for me or my group. Players did sometimes buy a mini to represent their character, but only as a "table visualization" to stand in front of the player on the table. My mini itch was scratched by playing some Warhammer Fantasy Battle... I can't remember if it was the 1st or 2nd edition. It was the one that came in a box; probably 1st I think (back when only heavy metal punks with leather, spikes, chains, piercings, and multi-colored mohawks were the average WH player...back when Daemons had nipples and all manner of naughty bits still showing...and they were still made out of lead and cost 1/10th to 1/100th of what it does now). Mostly we just sat around painting armies more than playing. Still, lots of fun, and still do it to this day! :) RPG...Theatre of the Mind all the way baby! :D ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
