My gnome warlock got their power from getting married to a fae lord after a drunken night of revelry. Their pact was the divorce settlement and their familiar was their lawyer.

It is so fun to play the straight person around random bedlam.

It definitely pairs better than vodka, but vodka is a staple in the liquor setups regardless of where we have a session.

Vodka is the typical option cause you can take it near, on the rocks, or used with a mixer. People know their limits at this point and can adjust safely.

As far a sushi we used to rotate getting takeout, but overtime we started to default to sushi. There tends to be enough variety to mix up the type of sushi each week, it keeps people from getting too full/hungry, and typically is contained enough to fit with all our play supplies.

My main crew typically goes with vodka and sushi on our biweekly session.

When we have a younger/new player we go with seltzer and mixed veg/fruit/nuts.

I tend to do theater of the mind for probably two thirds of my play sessions.

In combat I use a folding dry erase grid, some coins and markers to whip a board. If I have time to do a bigger fight I might prep some verticality by hot gluing some cardboard together. Having the terrain being low cost and effort gives me the option of breaking it down mid combat.
