Theater of the Mind is No Excuse to Just Fake It

The topic came up over on therpgsite.com about using minis or using "theater of the mind", especially during combat. For my games, where we use Mongoose Traveller, it's strictly role-playing in our heads only. No maps, no minis, no initiative, no combat rounds. Actions happen in real-time.

Anyway, I've already done videos in the past on this subject. Here's RPGPundit's video on the matter.

A Slight Grunge Render

My v2 Scout.

I may do some post effects for it later. Often times though, renders look good as-is from the exports.
