    Advice/Tools, Play

    There are a lot of different board games available, from Monopoly to Risk, and most of us have played many of them.

    These games can be a valuable resource when creating props for your table top role playing sessions.  Everything from tokens to money to dice can be found in different board games.

    Game boards themselves can be used as backing for maps and battle grids.  The usefulness of board games as sources of props is limited only by your imagination.

    I know at my house that we have several games that are no longer played.  A few moments of time has turned up a variety of objects that have proved useful.  If you don’t have any lying around then check your local second hand store.  Many times these games can be picked up for about a dollar – often because they are missing some element such as the rules or one or two game tokens.  These can quickly and inexpensively be turned into props for your game.

      Heck a quick turn down the Toy aisle sometimes produces some cheap props as well. I have a collection of rubber spiders that I use as miniatures for giant spiders.

      One time I’d picked up a fishing game at a yard sale. Next game, had the goal in a fish and marked one of the cards for it. Then made the players play the game to get the fish :P

      Not something I’d do every game but makes for a nice change of pace. Yard sales are great places to find offbeat games, too.

      Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
      I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
      God will appreciate it.
