[QUOTE="Mark, post: 30024, member: 5"] Firstly, Happy B-Day, Mister Tealeaf! :) Depends on the group. I've played or DMed a few and it's always unique. Lighting changes tend to work better with groups that are more role-play heavy and less rules conscious (or know them very well). As long as you don't have a lot of paperwork, looking up rules, and the need to see dice, you could even turn the lights off entirely. Music, too, can be a distraction, though some of the groups in which I've been enjoyed Mannheim Steamroller, Jetro Tull (he's good! ;) ), Celtic Music, Madrigals, Gregorian Chants, or things like that but always softly in the background. Haven't seen much on the way of costumes unless at games at GenCon. I did know a guy who always wore a heavy cape, in the winter, instead of a parka or something. He didn't wear it inside the house, though. Anyway, I hope you read this tomorrow and are out having fun tonight! :D [/QUOTE]
