We've always used miniatures on a battlemat for battle, and I don't think we'd find it possible to play the game comfortably without at least that. As we play more, we've brought in a variety of other objects that we use during our sessions. Some examples:- Two halves of a coconut, which are clonked merrily together whenever the mace-wielding player gets a critical hit.- Index cards for player inventory. Each significant item gets written up, with a sketch or printed picture when possible, and kept in a stack by the player who owns the item. Everyone seems to enjoy this so far. Among the benefits are the fact that it's fun to be able to physically page through your inventory, and the fact that it decisively quells arguments about who is carrying which piece of equipment.- Use actual coins to represent gold which you hand out to the players. Our group uses 1 penny to represent 1 gold piece, so a quarter equals 25 gold. When the players find money in the game, I physically give them a handful of change, and when they pay for something, they hand it right back.</blockquote>
