Let's see...
I actually only rarely get the "good game" type stuff, although one of my players has (indirectly) noted that she wouldn't commute as far as she does if it wasn't a good game. Generally, just a pat on the back is what I *really* want, but lately in- and out-of-game there has been a lot of friction in the group. Seems to be smoothing out, but that kinda thing bums me out in general.
We game at my apartment, and some of the players bring food and soda (generally for themselves, but there's usually no problem with sharing).
Before I moved out here, I had a player buy me a book in thanks, and in the current group, I had a couple of players chip in and buy me some AD&D stuff from the early '80s.
One of my players IS my wife, but she only ocaisonally gamed with me before we got engaged...so I don't know if I'd call the marriage a reward.
That's what it's like from the Universe's perspective!

S'mon said:Heh. That's hilarious. No ulterior motive, I'm sure...
There clearly was somewhat of an ulterior motive. We'd ramped up levels pretty quickly from 1st to about 10th when I received it, and many of the players were discussing their plans for feats, classes and so forth for the next 10 levels. I guess they figured at the rate we were gaining levels, we'd hit 20+ pretty quickly. Alas, that did not happen; a few weeks later, the party (by then about 12th level) was wiped out in a TPK.
It will be quite a while before either of my current campaigns tread anywhere near Epic levels. While the Epic Level Handbook has sat collecting dust on my shelf, at least I can't complain about wasting any money on it...

As Ao said, we had a group portrait commisioned for our DM. Earlier in the campaign we picked up a copy of Dynasties & Demagogues as our campaign has a lot of politics going on. I try to cook dinner most weeks so that we don't spend the time and effort in finding a place to order from.

They loan me books, one buys me coffee, and one whines about every-damn-thing that ever happened to his PC, especially the ones that were his own-damn-fault.
About 50% of the time I get a Story Hour / Journal Entry, even though there's an in-game reward for such. Sometimes I get pictures of a PC or location. Out-of-game participation is always appreciated.
