Buyng a cool or appropriate sleeve might even be part of the fun.Item cards:5) DM's might also hand out 'items cards' (some of which might have encounter or daily powers too). The picture on the item cards would always be visible, the description could be easily covered, and the detect magic aura should be easy to uncover without fully uncovering the description.6) Item cards could even be placed to show what is currently in the player's hand.7) GP cards could be used similar to monopoly money... kept by player and handed to the DM when spent. This method could possibly even be use for tracking hitpoints.Some other 'gamer bling' related thoughts:8) Players could each have their own 'deck box' with their character's picture taped to the outside.9) The PC's miniature and folded-up character sheet could be kept in the deck box10) A small piece of color clay (playdough, same color as the player's card sleeves) could also be kept in the box, to be used for when the PC 'marks" an opponent (much easier than trying to balance an opposing miniature on a colored base as suggested <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dusg/20080227a&authentic=true" target="_blank">here</a>, especially if the miniature is large).</blockquote>
