  3. @SlatzG But it was only when minis were made optional and they added Interactive Fiction and Roleplaying ideas that D&D really caught on.about 17 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to SlatzG
  4. @SlatzG The earliest version of D&D borrowed rules from Chainmail, a miniature wargame, and some gamers have always used minis since day 1.about 17 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to SlatzG
  5. @SlatzG Some gamers feel very strongly about the Miniature Wargaming lineage of D&D. I'm just not one of them. :)about 17 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to SlatzG

  8. @SlatzG D&D was introduced to me as CYOA + more choices. I still think of RPGs in that way, which is different from a wargaming approach.about 17 hours ago from web in reply to SlatzG

  12. @SlatzG A lot of the "old school" blogs leave me scratching my head... even though I *do* like older #dnd. :)about 17 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to SlatzG

  18. @SlatzG Although if there's no combat... or it's not the focus (eg. Cthulhu/Mystery) then it's easier to avoid using the dice very much. ;-)about 18 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to SlatzG
  19. @SlatzG I guess it depends on whether you want to be FULL diceless or just reduce the dice a bit. I think you still want some random elementabout 18 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to SlatzG
