Domestic Nerd Tips

1. If you have a vinyl game mat that is folded, wrinkled, or creased from excessive heat (such as the trunk of a car), put it in your washing machine in medium to hot water and let it soak for a few hours. Let it hang dry from your shower rod.
   
2. Gaming stones can be bought at craft stores (such as Michaels) in far greater quantities and at much lower prices than at game stores. (I was able to buy 3/4 of a pound of them for around $2.00.)
3. Supply stores like Office Depot and Staples have tons of stuff that can prove useful for a harried Game Master, especially if you like making props or handouts. They even sell munchies and soda there!
