What is miNIRANTs?
I have long had trouble finding analyses of miniatures games that aren't overly simplistic and un-critical rules explanation, or deferential "reviews" from enthusiasts who cannot see any room for improvement or evolution in their hobby. The popular sites are either committed to a single property or game, or are infatuated with everything, and the statues quo is seen as some unassailable objective truth. It can be hard to find nuance and depth beyond arguing about a new figure's stat-block or trying to decide whether the old model was cooler.
​
Hopefully this will be a place where we can go a bit deeper. There WILL be some ranting, but it will not all be of an angry/unhinged nature. I will look at games in an extremely subjective way, comparing them (sometimes unfairly) against one-another, and its up to you to decide whether you are on-board or not. If I put forward my honest opinion in a well-thought-out way, some will agree with me and some will disagree, but hopefully everyone will come away with a better appreciation of the hobby.

I haven't decided how serious I want to get about this yet or how frequently I will update it, but I do want to motivate myself to do some things that I've long had a desire to do, including playing more miniature games AND trying to find the ultimate Dungeon Crawl game.
