What to bring to the game - Dragontamers

Keep in mind that the dragontamers have arrived by foot from afar, so unless there are good reasons, you shouldn't have more props than your character can comfortably carry.

You should bring with you

• garments of your character (see Costumes)
• sleeping gear. The tamers sleep in tents on reindeer hides, which are provided by the Dragonbane organisation. You should have at least one blanket and a pillow, possibly also some rope you can use to hang items inside the tent. Remember to have beddings made of or covered with natural-coloured natural materials, such as fur or wool.
• a natural-coloured towel made out of natural materials (linen is excellent, cotton is fine too)
• eating utensils: a wooden spoon, a wooden or ceramic plate and a knife for eating and preparing food and a drinking cup. A very traditional and popular item is a drinking horn. Instructions on how to make one can be found on the Props pages .
• necessary medication and personal hygiene items
• dagger holster. More information can be found on the props pages
• the symbol of your clan (more information can be found in the player's guide)
