So I am planning to run D&D Encounters at Alakazam Comics in Irvine.
I am using the Dungeon Bastard DM Prep videos as my foundation:
We are doing Character Creation tonight–it is a new shop & we are going to take our time getting started…So My first step was to follow Tom’s advice and simplify my DM Kit.
Recently, I have been bringing a Jenga Set [for mapping] & a large bag
The Bag is totally crammed with stuff–dice, name tags, camera, books, DM notes, random swag
The stack of books is nuts
The DM notes has tokens for inspiration, post-it notes, reading notes, adventure notes, & 3×5 cards
There is also an extra pencil and hand sanitizer
There is also some just random crumpled notes
Basically, I have cut that way back to:
- dice & tokens
- a smaller notebook that has some index cards in it
- name tags for the first session
- camera
- skittles
- the adventure.
