Yeah, I don't paint, so D&D Mini's was about the best thing to happen for my game in a long while. The best part was that I've had lots of fun just trying to plan adventures out of the minitures I have.

Haha. We have a rule now due to idiotics of our group that anything placed on a table becomes a monster that we have to fight. This was after someone put my Colossal Red Dragon on it.(Its Fucking Huge!). So we have fought some weird monsters such as the never ending water glass and the pencil of doom. But yeah the mini's are a great addition to the game and make battles much more fun.

Miniatures are practically mandatory.

Which I started out hating but it makes more sense and is much easier, considering there's now no longer any "I five foot step here, can he hit me?" "...Maybe?" Grid-based without any of the messy 'foot' mechanics makes things nicer.

EDIT: Google ads never stop being funny.

I need to get a 4th ed game together sometime, but no one will let me DM anymore...

Damn, you curse one chest of gold dust to turn into a golem and suddenly everyone is afraid to play one of your campaigns.

They just hate me cause I build traps to maim and/or kill. A trap in an acient tomb should not be non-fatal damn it.

Yeah we always used grid based even back to second edition. We worked without a grid for a while cause we warhammer gamers so have lots of rulers and things but grid is so much easier.
