[QUOTE="TarionzCousin, post: 5410717, member: 31304"] One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far: [B][COLOR="Orange"]Props[/COLOR][/B]. [COLOR="Orange"]Glass gems[/COLOR] are available at craft stores for $3-$5 right now. Use them for special magic items or plot items, like a Gem of Seeing. It's cool when the player pulls out the gem at the table and holds it to his eye to examine something. [COLOR="Orange"]Letter openers[/COLOR] make good daggers, or even weird swords--I recommend not using real swords at the gaming table. [COLOR="Orange"]Hats [/COLOR]can be very helpful. When one character put on his hat of disguise, so did the player--and everyone at the table knew he was in disguise. [COLOR="Orange"]Costume Jewelry[/COLOR] can be rings, necklaces, a tiara--believe me, it was totally worth the $10 I spent on the fake tiara to see a 300 pound man wear it as his magic circlet.
