[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5205470, member: 22779"] But, from what you've described, there is zero tactical thinking involved. This is pretty much how things worked out in my 1e and 2e games as well. The monsters match up with the PC's, when a PC or a monster drops his opponent, he moves on to the next one. In your example, the only actual tactical thinking going on is spending a drama point. How is that tactical depth? Now, I'm totally not saying it's not fun, I like playing this way too. But, it's certainly not tactical IMO. I'd be interested in seeing this. WOTC brought out Chainmail in 2000 but didn't really seriously get into producing minis until a few years after that with DDM in 2003. If 3e was meant to be a vehicle for selling minis, to the degree you appear to be claiming, why did they wait almost four years to get serious about selling minis? Claims that 3e and then 4e D&D was designed to sell minis seems about as valid as saying D&D (any edition) was designed to sell graph paper. [/QUOTE]
