This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Do you use Miniatures, or do you use TotM?

Quote from: Razor 007;1074071Yeah I didn't use miniatures with 1E back in the 1990's.  Nobody I knew wanted to spend the money, or really didn't have it anyway.

Hmm, my experience with gaming back in the 70s was minis were definitely popular in my gaming.

My parents got me some minis for Christmas of '77.

When I started gaming at MIT, minis were a big thing. My first gaming experience was running a game at their summer con where I ended up with 16 payers, including some regulars from the MIT D&D gaming. They used dominoes to lay out dungeon walls. The game was a blast. Later I also did some gaming with Glen Blacow who also used minis. So at least in the MIT gaming sphere, minis were regularly used.

On the other hand, these days, I run my OD&D play by post theater of the mind...
