In this episode of RPG Blokes, we continue our guide for new and returning players with First Session Essentials Part 2. This time, we focus on what other paraphernalia you might need to bring to the gaming table and what you can safely leave behind.

We start with the essentials—yes, you’ll need dice, but don’t panic if you don’t have your own set (yet). Digital vs. paper character sheets? Both have their place, though the Blokes have strong opinions on which one actually helps you learn the game. 

Then there are the extras. Miniatures, reference cards, and fancy accessories—do they improve your game or just empty your wallet? The Blokes weigh in on which items genuinely help and which are just part of the RPG rabbit hole we all inevitably fall down.

And of course, the most important question: should you bring snacks? Spoiler: absolutely yes.

To wrap up, the Blokes share their most treasured RPG items, from custom dice boxes to well-worn rulebooks, proving that what matters most isn’t what you bring, but the stories you create.
