Stop buying miniatures.

>>97191690

Why?
>>
That's not a bad way to things, not as cool as proper plastic minis but then again plastic minis are just the budget version of diecast miniatures.
>>
>>97191690
paint your bases, lazy faget
>>
>>97191690
I think you meant "Stop buying miniatures at exorbitant prices."
>>
>>97191690
No.

We're the grognards now. 4E encouraged miniatures, 5E encourages storygames. It is our responsibility to de-program youngster from their Critical Role brainwashing.

By all means, create some prop to represent your character. But if it's an elaborately painted metal miniature, what about when your character dies? If I tear up picrel, no1curr. The first time I smashed a guy's mini, he literally cried.

6/10 bait, the smashing overdid it.

Wood is a nice in-between.

Have you guys seen Mazes and Monsters? The Tom Hanks D&D Satanic panic flick.

There's a scene where they're painting their minis, but they're like 2.5d figures. What were those?
>>
>>97191751
We made better paper soldiers with my younger brother when I was nine. This is just embarrassing.
>>
>>97191732
Yeah, so stop buying miniatures.
>>
>>97191756
It's all true. We just DIY it, tearing up dead/destroyed PCs and monsters has become a tradition.

Although the actual mini thing was before we started this practice. It was only a cheap Reaper one so I don't know why it bothered him. Shit happens in games man, sorry.

(He's no longer welcome at our table, thank fuck.)
>>
>>97191690
BITCH DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO
>>
>>97191715
Because miniatures cost money and you HAVE to spend the least amount of money possible at all times or you're a cuck or something, I'm guessing.
>>
>>97191756
He really had me about to reply, because there actually are dumb fucks who act like him on this board, but yeah, the mini smashing took it one step too far.

>you have to play with paper dolls because i will get jealous otherwise
No, I dont think I will

I'm stealing this idea

I don't believe you.

>>97191777
Smash a mini now, post time stamps.
>>
>>97191690
No, I have paper minis, but I also have a friend with a 3D printer that does costume minis for my games, so get bend OP.

>YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND
No, get fucked faggot.

Honestly miniatures half of why I like this game nowadays. Collecting them and painting them. I have over 500. it helps make up for my failing imagination. When I was a kid I made paper miniatures in Microsoft Publisher, reversing them and adding tabs so that they could be slotted into bases, and printing them all out on cardstock. i still have a few. They only work at certain perspectives, though, so a real miniature is better. It was quite fun to make them though.

>>97191690
Who can actually afford minatures in this economy?

Regarding those crazy Tom Hanks cardboard minis:

My problem are the portage who print their minis with FDM printers and the cope about it. “My minis are just as good as resin printed or cast or injection molded minis. They don’t look like they were made in Minecraft with all their layer lines. You’re just jealous that I was able to print a whole army and only spend like 10 cents a mini.” Good god man, have some pride. If you’re too cheap to buy minis, print some paper standees. This halfway point is just embarrassing.
>>
>>97193056
I agree, except I think FDM is fine for giants, terrain, and mounts. Like, printing a full-sized dragon or buildings with resin is so wasteful.

28mm FDM minis look retarded. You can't even drybrush them without them looking like shit.

Are these double sided?
