A picture being worth a thousand words, a busy game master can get a lot of mileage out of props.  Traditionally, RPGs rely on the spoken word to stimulate the imagination of those seated around the gaming table.  But there are a lot of ways to help create an atmosphere that supports and enhances your games.  Over the course of the next several weeks, I’ll be writing about ways you can improve game sessions for yourself and your fellow players.  I’ll try to provide you with some new twists to familiar concepts, and give you a lot to think about.  Here’s the agenda for coming posts:

1. NPC portraits
2. Handouts and player maps
3. Landscape images
4. 3d Terrain
5. Background music
6. Ambient audio
7. Slideshow presentations
8. Video presentations
9. Scents
10. Food
