Day 27: "What are Your Essential Tools for Good Gaming?"

Yes, I know some are searching out the elaborate gaming tables, key dice, dice towers, custom GM screen or lucky con t-shirts (now con belly shirts after years of weight gain plus shrinkage). After nearly thirty years of playing, I don't get impressed by elaborate spreads:
My basic player demands:
- Comfy, upright chairs. The whole cushy couch is not conducive to paying attention or rolling dice.
- A table. Even a coffee table to roll dice on is an improvement over no table at all.
- Food/Beverage - Pretty Generic, nothing too spicy or smelling too strong. A session with a dinner break must be declared before we start gaming.
- Minimal distractions: My group is 3,000% into the kid zone, so barring removing the kids from the state, they will eventually show up at the table. It's inevitable, so we should pause the game for a time to address the tyke in the room. Ignoring them will just escalate the situation.
- And bare gaming necessities. Dice/books/character sheets/GM Screen as needed. I haven't needed a gaming vest and lucky hat since Origins '96.
