Alternative minis: Strongly prefer to play with proprietary mini’s *if* I play the game, but that means I play agnostic rulesets instead! Since I mostly play generic fantasy, this works fine. Currently playing the still unreleased Lasting Tales with a friend, and it’s great that I finally can use the mini’s and terrain I’ve sunk way too much money into. So, no, while I have some GW games, they’re pretty much unplayed.

“Lets Play” videos: Not much of a video watcher, since I started gaming long before videos. Written reviews I can scan and find information at my pace, not the presenter’s. I’ve played so many dice-based combat games and RPGs that if I see dice in the components, I usually pass on the game unless it’s free and has other requirements I have for a game. (eg. Solo support, miniatures agnostic, campaign events, etc.)

While I have closets full of boardgames (and miniatures), I don’t need more than one miniature skirmish game until I’ve exhausted the content of the current one I’m playing.
