[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1226990, member: 99"] Upon reading that, my first thought was "Great Idea!" as I've got a padded rifle case that I keep my high quality pellet rifle in that would be perfect for carrying minis to Game Days and such. My next thought was "Since we have the NC Game Day at a college campus, maybe bringing a rifle case wouldn't be such a good idea." I have a wooden cigar box that used to be filled with cigars I brought back from Costa Rica that serves to carry a relatively small number of minis when necessary. At a local yard sale I found an aluminum sided carrying case for a laptop computer that was the perfect size for carrying around my books. It always looks like I'm toting around Important Government Documents and like it should be handcuffed to my wrist. I used some clear mylar report covers to make templates for spell areas of effect. These are great to have around. But we had to resort to a bigger sheet of mylar for the AoE for Entangle which is a whopping 16 inch diameter circle. I use the clear plastic boxes that dice come in (which I suppose makes them a "gaming item" technically speaking) to put figures on when we want to represent them as flying or climbing up on a wall. Just last week I bought a bag of a dozen plastic insects meant to be used as party favors (if you're a partying entomologist I guess) and used them to represent insectoid monsters. A dozen painted figures for $1.99 ain't bad. I also recommend doing this with dinosaurs or farm animals which the store had plenty of. After all, who wants to spend valuable time painting cow figures (as if you could even find them). [/QUOTE]
