Favorite non-book game aide.

[Reynard]

What is your favorite tool, resource or other non-book RPG game aide, and why?

EDIT: ANd where can it be got, for anyone who might want to know?

 

[el-remmen]

Tact-tiles!

 

[DaveMage]

Fiery Dragon's Battlebox (available at frpgames.com).

I just got WotC's Dungeon Tiles today. I like the look of them as well (though I haven't played with them yet, of course).

 

[Lanefan]

Gridded chalkboard, chalk, and brush...and mini's to put on it, of course.

Where to get: any teachers' supplies store for the board etc. (you'll usually have to grid it yourself), and your FLGS for the mini's.
