Dark Side genres such as RPG's are known for being heavily immersive allowing for all sorts of creative outlets such as cosplay, related board and pen and paper games, associated merchandise and sometimes even
consumables for those that enjoy those styles of gameplay.
So, as we head into a holiday weekend with some potential gaming time on our hands I thought it would be kind of fun to list out the special stuff we might do or use to get into the mood of a particular game.
I'll give you a few examples of what I've done in the past:
~When playing Mass Effect, I have an N7 baseball cap much like Joker's that I would occasionally wear, much to the amusement of my girlfriend, while playing the game.
~While I was still a beer drinker, it wouldn't be unusual for me to have a good strong ale while playing one of the classic old RPG's, especially if a particular segment involved an inn or tavern.
~If note taking is required for a more complex game I like to use a specific writing implement and usually a parchment simulating paper or something appropriate to the style of the game setting.
So, what about you?
