D&D Terrain and Miniatures: The Ultimate Visual Experience
From Humble Beginnings
We remember the days when all we had was a piece of paper and a trusty d20 to represent our heroic (or villainous) endeavors. It was the purest form of theater of the mind mixed with tactical gameplay, relying heavily on imagination. But as the desire to visualize our epic battles grew, so did the methods to represent them. This shift brought forth the dawn of minis and terrain to enhance our tabletop escapades.

Alright, confession time: Nerdarchist Ted found the allure of blind blister packs of pre-painted miniatures too much to resist! 🙈 But for those who are a bit more budget-conscious or just starting out, there are some nifty, wallet-friendly options out there.
