Your screen setup sounds like a fun one. Avlor: I love the on-the-fly art idea -- even for a non-artistic player, that would be a lot of fun to play out! Troy: Any chance of a picture?

When we saw toy pteradons we knew we needed them for our current game (characters use them as air transportation). We've even used a section of the movie Dinotopia, to show what a rush it would be to fly on one of these things. (I'm not DM for it, but we shared the clip anyway!) One of the fun things our GM did last session was make a player do "on the fly" art. One character knew what a creature was and the others didn't. So he had to do a quick sketch, for better for for worse - that's what the other characters understand the creature to look like now. It added perfectly to the ambiance because a rough sketch was all the character knew of this creature. Art and toys do add to the “aura”.
