 Y'all know how difficult it is to find the correct die (or handful of dice)
 when playing/running the game.
 
 Two words: Different Color Dice!
 When you first hear this it sounds silly (It took me over a year to buy into
 this idea), but think about it.  Need a couple of d10s, grab the black ones;
 d12s, purple, etc.
 
 TRUST me, it works like a charm!

Another trick Patrick and I observed at Origins that we thought pretty 
observant, a simple mnemonic to remember card suit order - it's reverse 
alphabetical order.  A lot of you probably figured that out already, but 
Patrick and I found it a revelation (rather than simply remembering it from 
years of playing cards).
