Then I do groin stretches infront of my full body mirror. After I'm relaxed, I roleplay my NPCs infront of the mirror yelling out all of the up-coming phrases for the next session, "You think you can steal my pantaloons and escape my fortress! HA-HA, you foolish insects, prepare to meet your doom...say hello to my little friend!"To really get into character, I usually like to eat a can of sardines and wash it down with vinegar. You'll be amazed at how much your players believe you are the dreaded evil Lich when your breath smells like undead. I usually make notes the night before on index cards. Things like, "remind Tom he sucks at roleplaying", and "be sure to eat most of the Randy's Doritos so I don't have to buy dinner after the game".For fun I like to predraw the dungeon rooms on the battlemat and label things like, "Colossal Red Dragon" and "Lolth's throne" in various places. When the players see this, I act surprised and quickly erase the writing and I tell them, "Oops, pay no attention to that, I didn't mean to leave that written on there. Remember, your characters don't know RL information that you as players might know". Then I run an entire city based session and they never even go into a dungeon that game.Finally, right before everyone shows up, I make sure to tell Mother to stay in her room until I tell her everyone has left. I mean seriously, I'm a grown man and I don't need her embarassing me when my friends are over.</blockquote>
