No we leave that to the candles...

The fact of the matter is that we have currently 2 theater geeks in one
of my gaming groups as well as a semi-professional magician..
Our lights we got cheap when a near by school upgraded and the dimmer system
is a home built job... we're all tech heads so its no problem.. Two of the
gamers got a used fog machine (in a quasi legal manner but hey the stock
boy didn't realize he sold it and 2 gallons of juice for $40 when the
figure should have been $400 ) anyway we also have 9 speakers, 2 computers
(running matrix map programs) and 3 sub woofers (and 2 cd players)..
We range in rooms from a small 15 X 15 foot room to an entire floor..
(all of our attics are fully furnished.. tons of space..)
We have moved every thing outside for some scenes and so really our
range is as far as our extension cords.. We're trying to get an inverter
for a car so we can play any where we want with full lighting..

The set up time ranges from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on the location..
We often set it up before the week end and then play three games in
sequence.. Along with the hours of techno one of the gamers has we usually
can't hear of breathe by the end of the week..

The official food is gummy peaches.. ($2.69 a pound)
An remember watching the Saber Knights (anime) can refresh any gaming party..
