Next week is our 1st FATE/DFRPG game, and I totally plan on throwing note cards out onto the table.
I've been thinking it would be interesting to, when a player tags/invokes one of the Aspects on those cards, place an off-colored poker chip (so as to not confuse it with Fate Point reserves) on it to give a feel as to what's being used throughout the course of the conflict. I'm hoping this will be a lively way of reminding us newbies that there's something out there worth not forgetting about. I may even use one color for the PCs and a different one for the opposition--just to visually represent who's working which angles to their advantage.
Has anybody else had any fun doing something like this?
