Weekend Event Packing Checklist
For campaign weekends: the costume is half the bag. Light for night paths, layers for cold games, a bag that stays in character, repair basics for makeup and straps, and coins for the tavern.
LED Candles and Lanterns
Flame without fire: most venues ban open flame, so the tavern, the seance, and the wasteland camp all run on warm LED light.
Leather Satchel and Messenger Bags
An in-character bag for the modern necessities: it hides the phone, the snacks, and the spare batteries inside the fiction.
Gambeson (Padded Armor Jacket)
The padded jacket worn under mail and plate, and honest armor on its own. Also the warmest layer you own at a cold night game.
Hooded Cloak
Instant character: a heavy hooded cloak covers modern clothes, keeps off rain, and makes every entrance better.
Metal Coin Props (In-Game Currency)
A pouch of weighty metal coins makes every bribe, bet, and bar tab feel real, and many games let you bring your own.
SFX Makeup Basics Kit
Scar wax, fake blood, bruise wheels, and dirt: the difference between a costume and a character who has lived a life.
