Well, when I was younger, my parents were not supportive of me playing tabletop games, especially things like d&d. They said it was stupid and expensive. I didnt get ANY minis till I was nearly a decade into the hobby. I live in the UK and it is rather rainy, so I spent alot of time indoors with my friends. Though I had no minis, I would use things I had round the house; Lego peices, coins and some of my small toys. But most creative was the terrain. While my parents still thought it was stupid, my grandmother was always supportive, she showed me all kinds of tricks with foam and wood and I made some cool scenery. One that I still have is a kind of hellish and lovecraftian set with blood and gore. I suppose my most exciting and creative miniatures were two little monsters made of clay and pipe cleaners as well as some cheap jewelry and clock parts which I have used alot. They look like fleshy lumps of metal and meat with tentacles and clockwork sticking out everywhere. I also used toy animals and stuff as I had alot of those little collectable things. I still love to make and craft my own stuff as it is a great way to exercise the creativity as well as save some cash. Thanks alot Theo, love your channel. It has got me threw some very difficult times.
This is just so touching and sweet. Made me smile and tear up. Thank you for sharing it with me! I love your grandma so much! I'm so glad to have you as part of our goblin family!
The silliest thing I've ever used for a mini was a rubber ducky that was suppose to represent a gold dragon. My players found it hilarious and we just pretended that is was a golden dragon with duck like characteristics. It was so funny and and fun!
Well... there are solo adventures... In all seriousness though, there's actually a lot of Internet groups looking for players these days too. It may take a few tries to find a group you mesh with, but there's usually one or two practice sessions for that purpose so everyone can get comfortable. -Grady
When me and my brothers began playing, i used Tootsie rolls for goblins and kobolds, and let them eat the tootsie roll when they killed them. I also used a Pepsi can for an elder evil once.
One time my friend brought a shrek action figure to our game that was the perfect size for a medium creature... There's a half-orc barbarian idea right there.
I distinctly remember one of the most jank sessions I ever ran for my group. It was back when I was just getting really excited about miniatures so I just had the starter adventurer pack. The session had my players fighting a giant and a beholder, the first of which I used a princess peach mcdonalds toy for, and for the second I used a beer pong ball on top of a toilet paper tube. These lovely pieces were set on a piece of notebook paper I had ripped out and drawn a map on with a marker that ran out half way through, so I had to finish it with a highlighter. The struggle was real.
So back in the day when I was younger the local supermarket had these strawberry desserts which always came with a little animal inside and my granny always got them for me. Now when I started playing dnd about a year ago they worked wonders for my wild shape and even as regular creatures. Now my granny died a few years ago but playing with mini animals she gave me back in the day is really special to me. I also used small lego pieces and builds on regular math paper in the group I DM'ed. I made little builds to represent each class and sometimes even for the monsters!
A picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger to represent the player's spiritual weapon, the idea being that Arnie would use different weapons to attack the baddies, according to the player.
That's what I told a friend new to the hobby 2 do we just painted the players characters helmets with nail polish I'm blue his gf is red the cleric is purple and the bard is pink
Thanks I have often wondered about these discount sets... good to see close up. I have enough. My weirdest use has to be heftsey kisses... but fun part is after you killed each orc you could eat him...
In terms of mini use, like you there have been several subs. Coins, punch tokens, paper stand ups, paper chits, poker chips, candy (M&Ms, Skittles, Reecies, hard shelled for the most part)...
When I first started we had a few little metal minis mostly to represent the PCs. but in one campaign we needed a dragon and none of us had one. Well I just Drew a picture of a dragon and what I thought was Close to the appropriate size and cut it out and moved it around the map.
The silliest miniature I've ever used was: my dog. I used it as a Dragon and everyone laughed so hard when the "mini" was put in the table. Everything was fine until it decided to go away and jumped off the table, meaning it was a win for the PCs.
Those are pretty cool. They remind me of the old 80's Fantasy Army Playsets like "Forest of Doom" or "Dragonriders of the Styx". I have used different colored grapes as minis once for an Orc battle! Green for the Orcs, Red for the PCs :)
In my campaing I was the artist responsible of doing quick drawing of the party and the monsters that the DM was going to use on each session. We bring some sissors to quickly cut the paper minis. They were not 100% accurate to the monster manual but in the end they served their purpose.
Just ordered me a set. Thanks. While I have a decent horde of official pre-painted minis, I can see a lot of uses for these to supplement. As for the strangest item's I've used to replace mini's... dice, glass tokens, poker chips, and plastic beads.
First kudos for going to alternative minis. Hopefully you continue with this trend. I back in the day before I had money used Halloween decorations. May I suggest minis from board games from companies like CMON or other mini companies like Reaper with bones and bones black. Thanks for the info you provide.
We were facing off against a massive magic construct and we had nothing big enough to show it properly. We ended up using a jesus statue that stood about 16 inches tall, and that was by far the best mini we have ever used.
I've always just used dice of which I have a LOT. But the game I was running at my local library we used these minis, well the other set. I dig these too.
The yuan-ti was almost enough for me to rethink and get one for heck of it... but the sci-fi one reminds me of that robot race planescape setting... starts with an M.??
I once reached in one of my friends fishtanks to take out a tower they had for decoration for using in a campaign. No fish were harmed, but the bbeg who stood on the mini definitely did some harm to my pc's
I used to cut out little squares of cardboard or paper and write the creature name and AC on it so everyone would know. I kept HP a secret for obvious reasons :)
gummy bears. they are great if you need some brutal finishers and the pc can perform playful orchestrate it while getting a snack for creativity finishes.
I once used a slice of pizza as a dragon because I left mine at home and we were at the end of the essentials kit the one who got the killing blow got to eat it
The "orc" makes a great orge IMO. Especially since the skull on his base is about the size of a 28mm human's. My ogres are mainly from the old Dark World game as well as a bunch of Heroclix big fellas (like some Hulk and Hulk-adjacent pieces) and he's just a smidge taller than those. He might be too small compared to Wizkids ogres though... I have a Wizkids Ettin and he's just comically oversized, odds are their ogres are just as comically big.
Was not for a #ttrpg, but I remember in '96 at high school a friend and I tried to play a WW1 RISK style boardgame at lunchtime where several mini pieces were missing. I managed to convince him to play by pulling out of my coat: two small pebbles, a 20c coin, a throat lozenge (in wrapper), and a scrap of paper which we wrote the word 'Scout' on. Don't remember the outcome, but we played up to the next lesson bell. Sometimes you just gotta improvise with what you have on you.
Hey Theo, always enjoy cheap minis. Back in the 80's we used tokens from other games. Sorry game we used the colored pegs, monopoly pieces as markers for the bad guys. Dice, we used as our characters. Probably the one thing we didn't have was minis, they were way to expensive back then. Thanks Theo & have a great day.
Miniatures are indeed pricey! The silliest thing I’ve ever used as a mini is a stuffed koala toy (no clothes), which I used to represent an insane giant town mayor. Did koalas have a place in my Europe-setting game with distinctly American friends in the Eastern United States? No, but people found it hilarious.
The most silly thing I've ever seen used in a game was my friend using an "onion bhaji" (haha!) as a proxy for an Anialation Barge for is Necrons during a game of 40k haha! As we were having an Indian and gaming, it was skewered onto the base for the anialation barge, as he hadn't made the miniture and wanted to use it in his army force...it was known as the 'Anialation Bhaji'.... It got Destroyed after the game haha!
The giveaway is probably over by now, but I wanted to share. The one thing we had in an almost limitless supply of in my household was tumbled stones. My mother was a sucker for those "fill a bag of rocks" boxes at the beach, and we always came home with two or three of them every year. For over ten years. So when the time came for me to host my first game, the very first thing I did was pull out the bags and bags of rocks and go "Pick your favorite. That is your character for this game." Any unchosen rocks became enemies for the party to fight. My cousin actually still keeps her character rock in her dice box, as it was her mini for one of her first campaigns and holds a special place in her heart.
That's pretty awesome! I appreciate you sharing that story with us! And those are the kinds of keepsakes that can be set into necklaces or other heirlooms later on if you choose to. I love it! -Theo
Probably the silliest thing I've ever used as a miniature were the Toa pieces from a Bionicle board game; they fit the dimensions well enough, but didn't match with the aesthetic at all.
Great review as always. The unboxed set is far from great. I’d not recommend it. Instead I’d recommend buying pawns from pathfinder, for example (and d&d is going to release a line of pawns too). They look better than these minis and they are cheaper.
ya know as many times as I've glanced at that box on Amazon, I've never seen anyone review it. thanx for the video. btw if you cheap minis...one word "kickstarter " only bad part you have to wait..and wait
You should check out origin miniatures enemy minions, it is a bit more expensive at $50 for 36 minis, but it is a substantial step up in quality. Plus it come with a decent case.
When I was still new to D&D (3.5e) we used dice and coins. But When I started to be the forever DM I had to be crafty as a teacher salary won't let me splurge on minis. I remember using guitar picks as creature markers. Also, I've gone so far to have used pebbles and sea shells from my mom's old "sea bottle"
Ok so i was doing a game for my sister and her freinds and i had a sympol oneshot and a dragon was at the end. But when it was time to fight my sister and shouted its a pony! I went with it but didnt have a fig so i used her pony stuffed animal . it was pretty fun and i would.always love that day. I dont need these i just wanted to share this
These miniatures look promising although, they don't ship to Greece, so i wont be having any miniatures soon to run my games. So i'll use whatever i can, like a keychain Unicorn that i used once for a puzzle that my player's needed to solve in order to save him!
Did they save the unicorn??? And yes, I've heard it's been tough to get a lot of products in Greece. Let's keep pressing these companies to improve their international distribution! -Theo
Thanks guys! I've had a chance to look over the material and I really like it! I'm a sucker for magic items. You guys rock thanks for putting out awesome content!
When I started gaming prior to geting into minis and painting I used gi Joe's and other action figures I'd seen robes and armor like fau leather my mum is and was a seamstress so I'd plenty of scraps to work from and thread lol
I had a friend who didn’t want to use a wizard mini because the ones I had didn’t “look” like his character so we used a coin with a D4 to act as his wizard hat lol.
Well, when I was younger, my parents were not supportive of me playing tabletop games, especially things like d&d. They said it was stupid and expensive. I didnt get ANY minis till I was nearly a decade into the hobby.
I live in the UK and it is rather rainy, so I spent alot of time indoors with my friends. Though I had no minis, I would use things I had round the house; Lego peices, coins and some of my small toys. But most creative was the terrain. While my parents still thought it was stupid, my grandmother was always supportive, she showed me all kinds of tricks with foam and wood and I made some cool scenery. One that I still have is a kind of hellish and lovecraftian set with blood and gore.
I suppose my most exciting and creative miniatures were two little monsters made of clay and pipe cleaners as well as some cheap jewelry and clock parts which I have used alot.
They look like fleshy lumps of metal and meat with tentacles and clockwork sticking out everywhere.
I also used toy animals and stuff as I had alot of those little collectable things.
I still love to make and craft my own stuff as it is a great way to exercise the creativity as well as save some cash.
Thanks alot Theo, love your channel. It has got me threw some very difficult times.
This is just so touching and sweet. Made me smile and tear up. Thank you for sharing it with me! I love your grandma so much! I'm so glad to have you as part of our goblin family!
Needed something in place of a giant so we used a small bust of Mao Tse-tung, it was a red fire giant.
Seems appropriate! -Theo
Instead of minis I've used Skittles so when we kill monsters we eat them :p
The silliest thing I've ever used for a mini was a rubber ducky that was suppose to represent a gold dragon. My players found it hilarious and we just pretended that is was a golden dragon with duck like characteristics. It was so funny and and fun!
Theo: all you need is some dice and some friends
Me: cries in no friends
Also I have used a small stuffed tortoise as a dragon turtle
Well... there are solo adventures...
In all seriousness though, there's actually a lot of Internet groups looking for players these days too. It may take a few tries to find a group you mesh with, but there's usually one or two practice sessions for that purpose so everyone can get comfortable. -Grady
I got a discord where we play D&D online. Ill be ur friend :)
When me and my brothers began playing, i used Tootsie rolls for goblins and kobolds, and let them eat the tootsie roll when they killed them.
I also used a Pepsi can for an elder evil once.
One time my friend brought a shrek action figure to our game that was the perfect size for a medium creature... There's a half-orc barbarian idea right there.
I have a lot of paper minis. The silliest thing I’ve used is probably collectible pins.
I distinctly remember one of the most jank sessions I ever ran for my group. It was back when I was just getting really excited about miniatures so I just had the starter adventurer pack. The session had my players fighting a giant and a beholder, the first of which I used a princess peach mcdonalds toy for, and for the second I used a beer pong ball on top of a toilet paper tube. These lovely pieces were set on a piece of notebook paper I had ripped out and drawn a map on with a marker that ran out half way through, so I had to finish it with a highlighter.

So back in the day when I was younger the local supermarket had these strawberry desserts which always came with a little animal inside and my granny always got them for me. Now when I started playing dnd about a year ago they worked wonders for my wild shape and even as regular creatures. Now my granny died a few years ago but playing with mini animals she gave me back in the day is really special to me. I also used small lego pieces and builds on regular math paper in the group I DM'ed. I made little builds to represent each class and sometimes even for the monsters!
I used Pringle can tops with taped on pictures for large figures. They looked pretty good too!
A picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger to represent the player's spiritual weapon, the idea being that Arnie would use different weapons to attack the baddies, according to the player.
D4’s standing in for overachieving, respawning Hobgoblins - the room got very full - and 3 of 4 of our party went down before we finally prevailed! 😵😅
My group mostly used legos, but we have also used dice in place of minis, and on rare occasions we've used food items like grapes
The best mini I have ever seen, would be starburst. You have colors and you can label the wrappers. Bonus you get to eat what you kill
I used a bag of army men from the Dollar Tree. They even have some laying down so I could switch out dead ones.
That's what I told a friend new to the hobby 2 do we just painted the players characters helmets with nail polish I'm blue his gf is red the cleric is purple and the bard is pink
I have used candy in place of minis. Makes it all the more satisfying to devour your enemies once you have vanquished them.
One of the most handy things to have is a bulk of meeples. they can represent anything!
YES! I have been using meeples and they are so versatile
For a while I used mostly Heroclix guys and small pieces of cardboard I found around the house
One time in a pinch I just started pulling stuff out of my pockets, ended up using pen lids and bits of eraser as the party.
When I started out as kid in 79, it was army men and my superman batman 12 inch action figures as bosses.
I just drew and erased stick figures on a battle map. My players got angry at how long it took😄
I've used Bottle caps, an Apple sitting on a masking tape (painters tape) and balls of paper.
I needed another storm giant so had to use a legend of zelda archer ammibo it felt rather embarrassing
Thanks I have often wondered about these discount sets... good to see close up. I have enough. My weirdest use has to be heftsey kisses... but fun part is after you killed each orc you could eat him...
Oh I used M.U.S.C.L.E. mini figures I got from ガチャポン (trinket machines) when I lived in Japan. Still they are fantastic to use in a pinch.
I once used erasers with the first letter of the characters name written on the top.
Had players "sculpt" minis out of puffy cheetos
When you need minis and stick a bunch of lego men onto quarters... :)
In terms of mini use, like you there have been several subs. Coins, punch tokens, paper stand ups, paper chits, poker chips, candy (M&Ms, Skittles, Reecies, hard shelled for the most part)...
When I first started we had a few little metal minis mostly to represent the PCs. but in one campaign we needed a dragon and none of us had one. Well I just Drew a picture of a dragon and what I thought was Close to the appropriate size and cut it out and moved it around the map.
The silliest miniature I've ever used was: my dog.
I used it as a Dragon and everyone laughed so hard when the "mini" was put in the table. Everything was fine until it decided to go away and jumped off the table, meaning it was a win for the PCs.
One time I rolled with my cat being on the table and said it was a young tarrasque, the players panicked until the cat got off
Didn’t have a gargantuan mini so used a cup from a Theme park. My party fought the dreaded dragon: Busch Gardenia.
I once made a sculpt out of taffy for a monster in a christmas themed one shot I DMd for 😂
The craziest thing I’ve ever used instead of minis was my imagination
Those are pretty cool. They remind me of the old 80's Fantasy Army Playsets like "Forest of Doom" or "Dragonriders of the Styx". I have used different colored grapes as minis once for an Orc battle! Green for the Orcs, Red for the PCs :)
They also paint pretty well. You will have to prime them with a good Vallejo primer. Rattle cans will make them sticky and gunky.
Forgot our minis to a game one night so we picked up a pack of green army men at a gas station. That was a weird game that night.
In my campaing I was the artist responsible of doing quick drawing of the party and the monsters that the DM was going to use on each session. We bring some sissors to quickly cut the paper minis. They were not 100% accurate to the monster manual but in the end they served their purpose.

May I suggest minis from board games from companies like CMON or other mini companies like Reaper with bones and bones black. Thanks for the info you provide.
I used Star Wars Command Figures when I started out, some of them work pretty well for bosses (General Grievous with 4 attacks wipes out all)
We were facing off against a massive magic construct and we had nothing big enough to show it properly. We ended up using a jesus statue that stood about 16 inches tall, and that was by far the best mini we have ever used.
I've always just used dice of which I have a LOT. But the game I was running at my local library we used these minis, well the other set. I dig these too.
I have a Homer Simpson 'mini' that works well as a large creature. I made him a boss, once, but he decided that he didn't like management and quit.
The yuan-ti was almost enough for me to rethink and get one for heck of it... but the sci-fi one reminds me of that robot race planescape setting... starts with an M.??
I once reached in one of my friends fishtanks to take out a tower they had for decoration for using in a campaign. No fish were harmed, but the bbeg who stood on the mini definitely did some harm to my pc's
When I first started my group made paper cut out styled with coin bases man we have come so far from there, ohhh memories
I used to cut out little squares of cardboard or paper and write the creature name and AC on it so everyone would know. I kept HP a secret for obvious reasons :)
When I can't find a mini, I use board game pieces for monsters/NPCs
Man I’m seeing a lot of comments with people saying they used legos instead of minis..... I feel like legos are more expensive especially nowadays lol
gummy bears. they are great if you need some brutal finishers and the pc can perform playful orchestrate it while getting a snack for creativity finishes.
My favorites would be the griffon, serpentfolk, and the dragons.
Easy, a large bag of dorrito's was used once in place of a colossal spider, "pass the spider guts' was used at the table ever since.
I one time used a Soda to represent a dragon. My friend wasn't to happen he couldn't drink his drink during the entire encounter. Lol
I used to have little glass beads that had different colors to mark miniatures and for players I painted the symbols of their classes .
Once used a Jell-O shot to represent a Gelatinous Cube (had some leftover from a party lol)
We didn’t have have miniatures for the game so we just uses different dice for our characters and a pencil for the boss
I once used a slice of pizza as a dragon because I left mine at home and we were at the end of the essentials kit the one who got the killing blow got to eat it
I have used lego minifigures and bricks back in times we did not have wizkid´s
We've used Change, Pop Caps, Chess Pieces and Monopoly Tokens...
Mostly multiple colors of the circle clear token. Lol. Bigger ones for bigger enemies.
Instead of minis, we once used an assortment of fruit shoot bottles/juice bottles and their lids
I have used candy as monster tokens and the pc that makes the kill gets to eat the candy to clear it from the mat.
The "orc" makes a great orge IMO. Especially since the skull on his base is about the size of a 28mm human's. My ogres are mainly from the old Dark World game as well as a bunch of Heroclix big fellas (like some Hulk and Hulk-adjacent pieces) and he's just a smidge taller than those.
He might be too small compared to Wizkids ogres though... I have a Wizkids Ettin and he's just comically oversized, odds are their ogres are just as comically big.
Good idea! Also good because we don’t have a ton of official modern ogre minis. -Theo
Was not for a #ttrpg, but I remember in '96 at high school a friend and I tried to play a WW1 RISK style boardgame at lunchtime where several mini pieces were missing. I managed to convince him to play by pulling out of my coat: two small pebbles, a 20c coin, a throat lozenge (in wrapper), and a scrap of paper which we wrote the word 'Scout' on.
Don't remember the outcome, but we played up to the next lesson bell. Sometimes you just gotta improvise with what you have on you.
Amen, buddy! -Theo
Hey Theo, always enjoy cheap minis. Back in the 80's we used tokens from other games. Sorry game we used the colored pegs, monopoly pieces as markers for the bad guys. Dice, we used as our characters. Probably the one thing we didn't have was minis, they were way to expensive back then.
Thanks Theo & have a great day.
I love the use Monopoly pieces! Thank you! -Theo
I ain't gonna be original but the oddest replacements I used were coins ^^
Im using a halloween skeletal dog decoration as a stand-in for Colossal creatures
Miniatures are indeed pricey! The silliest thing I’ve ever used as a mini is a stuffed koala toy (no clothes), which I used to represent an insane giant town mayor. Did koalas have a place in my Europe-setting game with distinctly American friends in the Eastern United States? No, but people found it hilarious.
Heh, koalas are always appropriate! -Theo
I used dice once before I had a few minis but as you can guess they got mixed and confused
The most silly thing I've ever seen used in a game was my friend using an "onion bhaji" (haha!) as a proxy for an Anialation Barge for is Necrons during a game of 40k haha! As we were having an Indian and gaming, it was skewered onto the base for the anialation barge, as he hadn't made the miniture and wanted to use it in his army force...it was known as the 'Anialation Bhaji'....
It got Destroyed after the game haha!
That's excellent! -Theo
Silly putty was served as as Gelatinous Cube on more than one occasion
Very good price you just cant top that . Also used coins back in the day too lol
The giveaway is probably over by now, but I wanted to share.
The one thing we had in an almost limitless supply of in my household was tumbled stones. My mother was a sucker for those "fill a bag of rocks" boxes at the beach, and we always came home with two or three of them every year. For over ten years.

Great review as always. The unboxed set is far from great. I’d not recommend it. Instead I’d recommend buying pawns from pathfinder, for example (and d&d is going to release a line of pawns too). They look better than these minis and they are cheaper.
Thank you! We'll be reviewing some pawns soon! That's a great option! -Theo
I have created monsters out of Lego on occasion as huge and gigantic minis cost a lot.
ya know as many times as I've glanced at that box on Amazon, I've never seen anyone review it. thanx for the video. btw if you cheap minis...one word "kickstarter " only bad part you have to wait..and wait
I do have a number of Kickstarters under my belt at this point. -Theo
You should check out origin miniatures enemy minions, it is a bit more expensive at $50 for 36 minis, but it is a substantial step up in quality. Plus it come with a decent case.
I will look those up! Thank you! -Theo
The first thing I used as a mini was some counters from a tic tac toe game
When I was still new to D&D (3.5e) we used dice and coins. But When I started to be the forever DM I had to be crafty as a teacher salary won't let me splurge on minis. I remember using guitar picks as creature markers. Also, I've gone so far to have used pebbles and sea shells from my mom's old "sea bottle"
No one knows as much about being crafty and stretching limited budgets as a teacher! Shells are a fantastic idea though! -Theo
@@TheGallantGoblin thank you! My players seem to like the shells on the table, especially my students
Ok so i was doing a game for my sister and her freinds and i had a sympol oneshot and a dragon was at the end. But when it was time to fight my sister and shouted its a pony! I went with it but didnt have a fig so i used her pony stuffed animal . it was pretty fun and i would.always love that day. I dont need these i just wanted to share this
That's amazing! Love it! -Theo
USed candy in a candy themed dungeon used rock candy and cookies.
These miniatures look promising although, they don't ship to Greece, so i wont be having any miniatures soon to run my games.
So i'll use whatever i can, like a keychain Unicorn that i used once for a puzzle that my player's needed to solve in order to save him!
Did they save the unicorn??? And yes, I've heard it's been tough to get a lot of products in Greece. Let's keep pressing these companies to improve their international distribution! -Theo
@@TheGallantGoblin yea they managed to save him before he turned into a Nightmare
Thanks guys!
I've had a chance to look over the material and I really like it! I'm a sucker for magic items. You guys rock thanks for putting out awesome content!
My daughter (3) is always painting her little toys or some of my minis. This might be good for her own collection
Perfect! -Theo
When I started gaming prior to geting into minis and painting I used gi Joe's and other action figures I'd seen robes and armor like fau leather my mum is and was a seamstress so I'd plenty of scraps to work from and thread lol
I had a friend who didn’t want to use a wizard mini because the ones I had didn’t “look” like his character so we used a coin with a D4 to act as his wizard hat lol.
That's a cute idea! -Theo
I drew my players' characters and printed them. Folded them in half so they'd stand on their own like a wet floor sign.
That's awesome! -Theo
It was funny seeing a yoda LEGO figure trying to represent an Aasymar in the Death House a couple of sessions ago
Excellent! -Theo
i... uh... i used a picture i cut out of a comic book...
I would use these to improve my painting
I've used beer bottle caps for minis. I mean, who hasn't, right? :)
We put them under the minis that have certain conditions. :-) -Theo
I once used play dough as a gelatinous cube.
I once used toothpicks for a mass army.
i love your vidoes and me and some friends had to use
lego figures from my childhood to be goblins in battle
Thank you! Legos are a classic! -T
We used legos for the miniatures and terrain too
I once used a live cat to represent a Tarasque.
