[QUOTE="djdaidouji, post: 4209192, member: 64664"] I had a GM with a cool idea once. I don't remember his reason, I think he said that he was really busy, but the result was that each session was held at a different venue. We didn't realize until halfway through that this was to make us feel more in the game. For example, when we were investigating secret ruins, we would meet up in a room underground at his school. When we were in a forest, we went over to his partner's house which had lots of house plants. One time we were on an airship, so we held it on the balcony of his apartment, but it turned out there wasn't enough space, and twice we had to run down the stairs to collect a blown away character sheet. In my game now I try and do the same thing in my house. Dark and spooky places, I close the blinds and even all of the doors, and make the only light on in the house the gaming room. In outdoors venues, I'll open the glass doors (weather permitting) and try to get houseplants. I have a few paintings as well, which I use to decorate the area; the darker browner ones for underground, green ones for forests, ones of lots of people for urban adventures... (To be honest, a lot of this deals with my pre-game boredom. I usually make sure I have an hour or so before the game to prepare, but after like fifteen minutes I'm just sitting and waiting.)
