My first Vampire character was a Malkavian Catholic priest, and I brought my Bible to games with me, along with a page of quotes that I had searched up to support my pro-vampirism religious stance. :)

I have a button with a beholder on it saying "I rolled you up a elf paladin... but I eated it."

For my Color Spray wizard, I brought Skittles.

I occasionally will bring props if they are strongly linked to the particular PC...but nothing springs to mind at the moment.

I WAS planning on having a pair of metal "crime straws" for a Tick inspired GURPS V:tM PC named Major Mosquito, but though I found something appropriate, I couldn't cut it to the appropriate size.

Usually when dm'ing I wear various DM shirts, one says, "if you continue to annoy me I start rolling wandering damage," another is just a print of the d&d boxed set. When I'm a player(rarely) I usually play a gnome specialty priest of mystra and I wear a felt red pointy hat I made and a fake beard. It helps me get into character.

I have a couple times. Usually only if the game is happening at my house, or if I know the other players will be doing the same. Let's see...

I had a wizard who's spell book I represented with my own book of shadows, I had a bard with a lute that was represented with a plastic Guitar Hero guitar, I had a barbarian whom I wore an eye patch while playing as, and I had a druid whose animal companion was one of my stuffed animals.

I also had (my most long-lived and successful character so far) an Oracle for whom I always wore my gothic lolita dress when I played her. I guess that could be considered my most expensive prop, since I wore it far more frequently at the table than I did outside the house. Eventually that game burned out, so now the dress gets less use. I still wear it out when I want to take the time to be fancy though.

No, as dm I made some prop letter and things like that. Costumes are for larps.

I always though dressing up to regular table top game was weird, to say at least. I don't think it much happened in my country. I've not heard anything in real life relating to that. Larps yes, table-top gaming, no.

Gaming cultures vary, apperantly.

A few sessions ago in our Pathfinder game, I couldn't find a mini/cutout that fit the size I needed, so I grabbed a player's Cthulhu dice bag and set it down on the battle mat. It fit perfectly and was a little creepy, given the size of the bag compared to the player's minis.

In my 3.5 campaign, a player started bringing a plastic dagger/knife thing and would use it to describe his attacks. The problem being that fair amounts of alcohol were consumed by this player and another player during the sessions. He stopped bringing the knife after stabbing his girlfriend at least four times during one session due to very drunken descriptions. I think one of them was in the face, too, but I wouldn't swear to that.
