Milambus’s Game Codex

1 set Black Dice: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 – The d10 has an actual 10 printed on it rather than a 0.  Which seems better for new players to me.

4 Character Sheets – New layout.

1 full page double sided flyer for other Essentials products - “For Players” one one side, “For DMs” on the other side.

1 Quarter-sheet single-sided flyer – URL and code to download another adventure.

1 double sided poster map – Side 1: Interior location, stone floors, looks like a bunch of dungeon tiles.  (Used for the adventure in the DM Book)  Side 2: Crossroads map reprint from D&D Minis on one half, Monster Lair reprint on the other half.  Nitpick – The side with the 2 maps folds inside, so to use just one of the maps you have to fold the map against the “natural fold”.

1 page double-sided tokens – 12 PCs (bloodied on opposite); 5 Action Points; 36 1-inch Monster tokens; 3 2-inch Monster tokens.  Monster tokens have different creatures on both sides.

Since everyone else is doing it, I figured I’d share my GenCon packing list. This is pretty much a direct cut and paste from Remember the Milk, with some comments added.

Oh a quick note, since I live about 4 hours from Indy I get to drive.  This allows me to pack and bring things that others would likely have to go without.

• 5 hour energy - I have late night games on Wed, Thurs and Friday.  I may need an energy boost.
• Bags - My D&D backpack for “daily supplies”, another bag if the backpack ends up being too small for somethings, and an empty garage bag for dirty clothes.
• Clothes - Several changes of clothes, more than I will likely need.
• cough drop (ricola) - Pretty sure I stole this from Ryan Macklin, but I can’t find the link right now.
• Deodorant / Cologne - Don’t add to the gamer funk if you can avoid it.
• DFRPG: Cheatsheets
• DFRPG: Main plot
• DFRPG: Opening Scene
• DFRPG: Pre-Gens - All of these for my Dresden Files RPG game I’m running Friday night.

• Drink (Mixes and Alcohol); Orange Crush, Coke - Putting the “drunk” in Drunken D&D.
• Fate Point tokens - For my DRFPG game.
