 Minis. I got into painting them for a while but stopped. My friend had access to a 3-D printer for a bit and he used it to print out a ton of figures so between the two of us we're set.

tokens, virtually; minis or whatever is handy in person.

I got a 3D printer explicitly for creating "larger scale" minis, lol.  And so I try to have them available -- since I can model something fairly fast, it lets me create some nice pretty stuff for my players.

However, I hate painting minis. So most of them are a gray color, lol.

Question Of The Day; do you use tokens or minis? 

 Depends.

I run a lot of virtual games (I think I am up to about six) - those are 99% of the time, theater of the mind.

But if they are traveling through some form of maze or cave system, I will use a virtual map (Roll20) and use tokens.

In my face to face games I run, both of those use minis (for combat only, when needed) with the rest being theater of the mind.

 We only use minis for combat too.

 I like using minis for exploration too. If they are exploring a town or an expansive forest, it helps to know where they are. Or in a tavern full of interesting people, it helps know who is where.

 That’s not a bad idea. I’ll mention that to my DM.

The one thing I like - when I do theater of mind (no combat) - but I say something like, "You hear voices coming from up ahead."

The players can ask me "Is there a tree I can climb next to me?" or "Is there a rock to hide behind?"

And I will usually think, depending on where they're at - ask them to make a Nature check of some kind. For example if they're in a forest, and they ask if there's a tree near them, there's a good chance there is - but is there one with branches low enough to grab and climb? Give me a Nature Check, DC 12.

So I can plot a tree down next to them, if needed, with theater of mind, while exploring. You could draw it on a map, or whatever, but I feel like that slows it down.

Tomorrow, should I wear glasses or contacts to ask my crush out? (I typically wear glasses.)

 Wear contacts. It makes your eyes look more emotional and less closed off.

 Whichever one helps you feel more confident. 

Ok,an unrequested update on and about me.

I hit a bad patch of life, and it pulled me down even as it gave me some time to finish a few projects. Those are still ongoing, but the worst part of it was i lost my home.

Now, i did manage to scrape out a couple grand from it for myself, and so I am now a mobile Toni — I have shifted to RV life, in a beat down, worn out, 30 year old motorhome with stunningly low miles. It is an absolute “project” — but it is also a home until i grab a piece of land to settle it on and finish out my time on this globe.

Will be doing mobile D&D from it, too — sometime this summer I will start running virtual games and in-person games for folks in my neck of the woods as I slowly ease into full time retirement (I am presently partially retired).

I am going to be coming up here more often as well — i have reached a point where I have a need to share some stuff for free.

 Dang, that's a lot. I'll be praying for you.

 Oh wow, that's heavy. I'm glad you are still able to pull the scraps together though. You're adamantine.
