magnets or sticky notes for the characters and opponents
We usually have figurines for the characters, although they don't tend to be too directly representative. ("Okay, who's using what? Doug's the mage, so he gets the mage figurine. Zak's wearing plate mail so he gets the guy in full armor. Elf is a woman, so she gets the woman figurine. Plz to ignore the fur bikini.") Opponents and NPCs are usually represented by extra dice.
Orcs are large 6-siders; kobolds are small 6-siders; ogres are 12-siders. Horses are 8-siders with another die on top of them. When the GM brings out 20-siders for "the surprise monsters in the hidden room," we know we've got problems.
