  1. If not everyone has a Players guide a few extras are nice.

  2. Some sort of dice tray Is nice, sometimes table space is limmited.

  3. Lots of mechanical pensils. Not a session goes by when someone says "where is my pensil?" or "You have a spare pensil?"

  4. Scratch paper to make notes.

  5. The more books to pull from the more surprises you can throw at the players, so if you have things bookmarked in advance it helps things. But Book tabs can be a big help if you take the time to label things. I have my Spell compendium devided alphabetically.

  6. A combat ninja. Designate one of the more experianced players or one that is not a combat intnsive character to track the initiative. On a dry erase board or a phone app.

A dice tray would be my suggestion. There's nothing quite so satisfying as the soft clunk of dice on felt, and it keeps dice from going off the table too.

I own this one:

it's not the best looking one but it works just fine. It is a lighter wood color so if you like darker colors then it is not for you. For $20 it is not bad but if you look around Amazon a bit you can find other ones that are similar priced.

Our group has a player like this, maybe not to such an extent. Our player also wants the deck of many things, is always wanting to hoard what HE finds, but share in everyone else's finds. Is always somehow, "Just about to level up" when everyone else just leveled. Always goes against the party, doing secret behind our back actions. Always finds some crazy, unbalanced, Unearthed Arcana "new thing" to play. Whereas most of us go through 1-2 characters in a storyline, he will go through a new one each session. Etc. However, we have made this into a fun part of the game.

A few things you can do. Give him the deck of many things, but take out the 3-4 best cards that give bonuses. Maybe you can get him sent to another plane of existence, and then that character is gone. That problem is handled! Just kidding, but it would be fun.

As for the 3rd party character. Just straight up tell him, "Hey, that guy is REALLY cool, but it isn't in our rules for this table. I'd really like to make him into an NPC, that could eventually become our BBEG and nemesis." Sort of an ego stroke, that HIS GUY is so cool that he can be the BBEG!!! Then, spend an hour or two with him, going over the other (allowed) character options to get him one that is acceptable to your game. This could be a good bonding, one on one time, where you can impart your wishes for the table to him, quietly, without fuss or input from others, and make sure his new character is built properly, and MAKE A COPY OF IT FOR YOUR NOTES. When you get a skill check, you can quickly look down, see it's a +7, and then check his math.

As to the fudging rolls, this can be pretty easy. Go and spend $20-30 on a nice wooden, felt dice rolling box, like this one , place it in the middle of the table, and everyone is told to roll their dice into the box. Everyone will be watching, leaning forward, etc. to see the rolls. Fudging rolls isn't possible anymore. That problem is solved.

As for meta-gaming, I don't care. So he reads the rules and applies them. They are there for a reason - to be used. If the system is broken somehow, and players use that to their advantage, so what? I say let 'em play. GM the scenes differently so they can't use that loophole if it becomes a problem.

Finally, as the GM, you get to decide what is a pass, and what is a fail. Don't say, "OK, roll a 17 or higher to pass!" That gives the person something to shoot/fudge the math for. Just say, "Roll Skill check." If you see the roll and know your bonuses from the copy, you can see if he fudged the math. You have 2 choices - call him on it in front of everyone, "Player 1, you rolled an 8, with a bonus of +7, that's 15, not 18. [Smile politely/jokingly] you need to do math better!!" OR, look him DEAD IN THE EYE for a second or two before you say "Sorry, that didn't pass" and keep looking him, as long as it takes before he averts his eyes, and let it go at that. He will have received the message that cheating isn't allowed, that you know what he did, but didn't call him out in front of everyone. This will either resolve the problem, or if it continues, let you know that he is incorrigible, and will not change, and it's time to boot him from the game.

A 10 or 12 inch dice tray with felted interior is only about $20 on ebay, and while perhaps lacking the fun of building your own, not too hard on the wallet.

I am really liking it.

I got the above octagon-shaped dice tray for $15 at a local shop, and I have used it for a while now, with no complaints. But I prefer this new one due to the rounded outside edge. It feels more finished.

My girlfriend also plays so now we won't have to share. I have already checked that all of my 5th edition books, both dice trays, and all of the dice and the character sheet binders fit in my bag at once.

100-(14(AC)-(5AB)-(1)))x1d20(5%)= 50% Chance to hit.

With your MS Mace and Flank +3 more AB = 65% Chance to hit.

You're rolling very poorly.

First stop using MTG dice.

Second, don't roll on "mats" roll into a roulette/craps felted area/tray. They usually cost 15bucks and are octagon in shape.
