[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 3652669, member: 2209"] Delegate to players. Have one bring a DMG and one bring an MM. Ask if you can share one of your player's PHs. Has worked for me. If a player is playing a wierd class or whatnot require the player to bring the book that has the stuff in it or make a cheat sheet for you to reference. If you have stuff in pdf then print out the few pages of monster or stat blocks you want to use so you don't have to bring the whole book. If you only have hard copy then photo copy the pages you need. Bringing two pages you don't mind writing on is great compared to hauling a full hardcover for the same info. Hauling a module around is no big deal (Unless it is WLD I guess). Campaign setting or city/regional sourcebooks are generally something I bring. If you want to be able to spring random wierd encounters on your party limit yourself to one monster book that you bring. Minis, I've torn up a sheet of paper to make appropriate sized tokens before. writing O1, O2, O3, etc. on a bunch of 1" or so scraps of paper makes useable orc minis within 3 minutes. Doing the fold over and tape design for stand up ones takes more time and effort. There are also a ton of pdf options for fantasy minis and there are the Cardboard Heroes from GURPS that are lighter weight and more portable than metal or even plastic minis. [/QUOTE]
