=[ Frobozz Magic Line-Eater Bait ]= This may just be me flaming from the disgusting array I recently saw at a toy store, but... FAVORITE RPG PLAYING PIECES Real Men use Grenadier 25mm figures (enamel-painted) Real Role-Players use Citadel 25mm figures (acrylic-painted) Loonies use decapitated Barbie dolls Munchkins use anything by TSR (1/2" square cardboard counters and huge 350mm+ colorful plastic figures) I feel better already!

And of campaign designers: Real Men design campaigns with Ideals for the players to strive towards. Real DMs design campaigns with obstacles for the players to overcome. Loonies design campaigns with Ideals for the players to overcome. Munchkins design Death-traps.
