First of all, the Game Master does need to be very descriptive in how the environment is portrayed. This is a crucial part of it, because quite simply: You are the EYES AND EARS of the heroes. Not just that, but you are every single sense that they have &#8211; and not only that, you have to make sure that they understand where they are in the context of any given combat. For many games (Star Wars and Genesys spring to mind) that\u2019s likely easier to do, due to the idea of \u201clong\/short\/engaged\u201d ranges and so on, whereas more traditionally based games care a lot more about positioning, ranges, and things like flanking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why you should do it:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> With the right, and generous, GM, it makes for much faster gameplay than someone moving a miniature around on a map, especially when you\u2019re playing online, where there might be connection issues. It\u2019s also a lot cheaper than having to invest (or create) maps, tokens, programs, or whatever, for your game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why you shouldn\u2019t do it:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It\u2019s easy to lose control and overview of what\u2019s going on, especially as a player since it\u2019s all in the GM\u2019s head. For some people, it\u2019s also a lot harder to understand and visualize what is happening than when using a set of physical tokens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Maps &amp; Miniatures<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is what you see at so many convention tables and live plays. Amazingly painted miniatures and lovingly detailed maps, whether digital, printed, or created from 3D terrain. It is what many consider the \u201cgold standard\u201d and what everyone should strive towards. It\u2019s obviously a bit of a leftover from back in the day when it was more of a strategic miniature game, but so many modern RPGs still use systems where positioning, ranges, and such are integral to how the game plays out, and for those games, this style may well be key.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, no matter what, I don\u2019t think most people can deny the allure of having something right in front of you, that you can look at to see what\u2019s going on, but there is a bit of a downside. People tend to be very visual creatures, and that means that if it\u2019s not represented on the \u201cboard,\u201d then no matter how brilliant your description as a GM is, it\u2019s extremely unlikely that your players will choose to pick up on the hints that you may drop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, unless you\u2019re creating the maps and miniatures yourself, it may also prove difficult to find something that fits. Even just a simple room in an inn may not look like how you envision it. Your players may well go \u201cThat closet over on the left, I\u2019ll examine it since we know the villain was here\u201d and you might have to go \u201cactually there is no closet, that\u2019s a table,\u201d and find yourself improvising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why you should do it: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It makes tracking combat a lot easier for almost any game, even though it might slow it down when people start moving around. It\u2019s a lot more visual, so you don\u2019t have to rely as much on your own ability to describe the situation that the heroes find themselves in, and it just looks and feels good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Why you shouldn\u2019t do it:<\/strong> It\u2019s expensive, whether that is in cash or in time investment. If you buy them, it might also be a problem to find the right maps and tokens to fit your game. And finally, there\u2019s the issue of (at least if you\u2019re doing it digitally) getting everyone to use the same virtual tabletop &#8211; but that\u2019s a different discussion in and of itself, as there are a LOT of options out there, some good, and some bad.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This week it&#8217;s time to take a look at an eternal debate within RPG circles: Theatre of the Mind versus Maps &amp; Miniatures.
