What hump?Is that "e-gor" or "eye-gor"?
When gaming at someone else's place, I [-]double-check[/-] triple-check to make sure I have my clipboard with all my notes, my dice, and a rulebook in my bag.
What hump?Is that "e-gor" or "eye-gor"?
Last Saturday, I ran another session of my Princes of the Apocalypse campaign (using Fantasy Grounds II) and I made an amazing discovery.
Two pints of Boatswain H.L.V. Ale about 30 minutes before the game, in addition to reviewing the adventure to think about possible modifications I want to make and pre-thinking NPC reactions (and deciding on some possible scripting for these NPCs), made for a terrific session.
What are your pre-game rituals?
Beer tends to slow my brain down, if at pub I tend to have pint of pepsi + pint of cider. My main ritual is to read the adventure - something I don't always manage in advance of play...
I clean up the table, set everyone's character sheets for the session at their spots on the table, set the players' dice and pencils next to their character, same with the appropriate miniatures if any, and set whatever books, notes, and DM screen I'm using for the session up at my spot.
Then I eat, and chat with the players as they arrive.
