[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2511157, member: 30035"] I'm wondering if other groups use unusual items as props like my group does. For example, we collect the white plastic doodads that pizza delivery places use to keep the pizzas from sticking to the box lid. We use them to set minis on to represent characters who are are flying or are on a higher level, such as the 2nd floor of a building. One GM works at a photo lab, and he collects the empty plastic 35mm film canisters, which get used as pillars or barrels. The containers often come with colored caps, and we use those to signify who's carrying the light source (orange cap), or someone who's affected by a spell (usually grey cap, but sometimes green or blue, depending on the spell effect). He also has a wide variety of other containers and film spools that serve various purposes. And lately he's been using the clear plastic lids from tubes of potato chips (like Pringles) to show area effects. The clear acrylic dice boxes have also seen use as spell effects, or force fields for superhero games. Another GM took home some molded cardboard pieces that are used to keep printer toner cartridges rigid in the box. He cut them up to use as terrain and structure pieces. Anybody else have unusual uses for common household items or other stuff you pick up at work? [/QUOTE]
