The Portable Gamer – Tip #1 – Make a list

Portable Gamer
February 2, 2007May 18, 2012

No, not a shopping list but a list of what you need for your gaming night.

While this may seem like a “no-brainer” for some, it’s something that should not be overlooked. I say that because the last thing you want to have happen is you go to reach for something and it’s not there. Whether it’s your dice, miniatures, campaign notes or character sheet it can just about ruin your night so take a few minutes and make a list.

Some things to consider:

  • Dice (of course)
  • Any miniatures you’re responsible for
  • Character/NPC sheets
  • Your needed gaming books (GM guide, player guide, creature catalog and campaign setting)
  • Campaign notes (previous sessions, plans for the current session)
  • Snacks (always bring enough to share)

I can’t imagine that being a complete list and I’m sure as my group gets back into the swing of gaming again that list will no doubt grow. If fact I’d be interested in what you bring to your gaming sessions, please feel free to post and share.

May your dice roll well.
