Core books and FR books, along with relevant other books, or Dragon/Dungeon issues. I like to grab and prominently display a book that I won't actually be needing (like, say, the Tome of Horrors), just to screw with my player's heads.   2. Lined paper. Usually this winds up being just for notes that I pass to players and scratch sheets to keep track of bad guy hp during fights. It also makes a good missile weapon to throw at off-task players.   3. Pencil. Not entirely essential, as I can just bite my finger and write with blood in a pinch.  4. Computer. All my notes are on the computer; there's no way I could game without it. Or at least, I wouldn't want to try; it might turn out ok, but it might get ugly real fast. I'll only be winging a session if a small child just placed a series of magnets on my computer.   5. Battlemat and minis.   6. Red bull, mountain dew, and any other source of caffeine I can lay my hands on.  7. Dice.  8. Calculator. For those, like me, who irredeemably suck at math.  9. Campaign Log. I only started doing this recently, but now I can't imagine playing without it. Basically, its a bullet-point summary of everything I want to happen in a given session, including encounters, NPCs, and miscellaneous events. Its also where I keep detailed summaries of past sessions for easy reference; and since I keep track of the date (in-game), it allows me to make quick notations for the future (like "8 Kythorn; best friend betrays party," etc.)</blockquote>
