D&D | Why Use Mini Terrain in DnD | 2021
Miniatures and Miniature terrain use in D&D derive from wargaming. Miniature wargaming is a form of wargaming in which players enact battles between opposing military forces that are represented by miniature physical models. The use of physical models to represent military units is in contrast to other tabletop wargames that use abstract pieces such as counters or blocks, or computer wargames which use virtual models. The primary benefit of using models is aesthetics, though in certain wargames the size and shape of the models can have practical consequences on how the match plays out.
Playing D&D with physical battle maps, using miniatures for player characters, monsters, and even terrain helps provide an extra dimension (literally) to combat encounters. If you have seen some of the landscapes that professional DMs like Matt Mercer at Critical Role put out, you can understand why people want to use miniatures for table top role playing games [TTRPGs]. Miniatures, while an added expense, help players and DMs connect with the game by creating three dimensional avatars that represent their characters or the creatures they are fighting.
I hope you all are in good health and safe during this COVID-19 pandemic.
