[QUOTE="rushlight, post: 1004138, member: 3801"] Oh waa. I regularly use unpainted minis of whatever when I run my game. Players tend to get a single mini that does a good job of representing them, and I use the Creature Collections, or old broken Warhammer figures. I have 2 broken minotaur minis that I've used for nearly every Large monster in the game. Also, I just have empty slotta bases (those round bases for WH minis) that I use for groups of chumps. Slap a designation (A1, A2, A3, B1, etc...) on them and they work fine. People go on and on about minis. You'll spend more on pencils than you can on minis and things like them. Graph paper and scissors = just fine. Draw yourself a picture and glue it to a penny, and voila! A personalized mini. Buy a large (say 2 feet by 3 feet) tablet of 1" graph paper (at the local Office Despot) for something like 10 bucks. With an average of 5 people, that's 2 bucks each. If you can afford a PHB (new or old) or snacks for a game session then you're set to deal with minis. And WOTC doesn't get a dime from you. Or, just don't use minis at all and keep everything in your head, it's just as easy. [/QUOTE]
