I've got the recent Pinnacle badge, and it pretty much always lives on 
my dice bag.

I'm looking forward to hopefully buying a townhouse soon, so i can have 
the actual 'gaming room' in some fashion. I want to, if possible, 
decorate it with artifacts related to gaming in general, so as to 
(hopefully) inspire myself and my posse. This short list is just stuff 
I'll look for, not necessarily stuff I have (although i have some of 
it):
     An old-style globe: (The sepia-toned, or failing that the old 
school style)
     The Deadlands Bone-nanza poster.
     Old Maps: I love old maps, and would love to have some appropriate 
art hanging on the walls.
     A few pointy objects, perhaps.
     Bookshelves. Lots of bookshelves. More bookshelves than i can 
count, preferably.
     I already have a few good pics of my gamer friends that'll be 
appropriate... A nice pic of everyone in costume at the MD ren fair 
last year (Hey, they got me to wear a kilt, so it was certainly 
memorable), and a nice sepia-toned shot from the 'costume' historic pic 
of the entire group n wild west gear (a booth at Busch gardens)
     Movie posters and the like.

One thing is that I really want it to be a separate room from the 
living room. I think having a designated room will encourage better 
gaming from everyone... Keep the PS2 out of the room, get enough 
seating for everybody (we currently have to share seats such that 
someone ends up sitting on an ottoman).

And as for fate chips... I currently use a Baja Fresh cup. Need to work 
on replacing that...
