Re: [DL] High Noon rules

["Ben Rasmussen" <nyddoybdyle@hotmail.com>]

I flip-flop on mini's. I understand the 'stifling fluidity', they stop more
arguments then they start. I use a cheep, small, dry erase board and any
handy counter for alot of my fights.

I find that this preserves the imagination aspect that visualizing and
descriptively presenting a fight gives. While also settling any arguments
about who is where and doing what to who.

Being a cheep bastard, I refuse to buy minatures. I however have latched
onto the idea of paper mini's. Bought a set of micro-tactic's ones and then
went hog wild grabbing any other I could find on the net. Heck, I even took
regular DL pic's I could find on the net, photoshopped 'em, and printed them
out. If I had a scanner, I'd be up to my ears in little paper cowboys.

On the subject of miniatures - who here can't live without em and who never
touches the things.

I personally don't like them because they make players think in terms of
rules and wargaming rather than the fluidity of a piece of interactrive
fiction. When I absolutely need some representation of where people are in
relation to the bad guys i use simply cardboard counters - as abstract as
possible. This is of course purely a matter of taste - I just wondered what
% of players use the real thing.,
