So for the people who play with the players across the table from you, have you made, use props to hand the players?
I have rations chits from Krakow and citizenship papers for the same made up.

I mean... I bought a bunch of military surplus stuff, and some airsoft guns (I live in Sweden, so no real guns. Not that I'd have those laying about when playing RPG's if I could, anyway) and even some old soviet-era gasmasks from russia, eastern germany and poland.

I have those strewn about the place when we play to increase the "ambiance".

A couple of folks in our long-term group posted some of our stuff to the FB T2k group. Chits and maps, and an entire scientific work-up of Operation RESET in Polish for players and their characters to puzzled over and try to work out what it all means. :twisted:

Sweden recently re-issued a booklet called Om krisen eller kriget kommer (In case of crisis or war) so I ordered a couple of extra copies in English and left one in the garden for a few months to weather. I know it's not strictly period (in the the 90s it was in the back of the phone book IIRC) but my English players won't know :-) My plan is for it to be found on/near a militia prepper.

Oh I have that one, but also a bunch of old field manuals for the swedish army (SoldF) and some survival books. I keep those strewn about the place as well :)

Talking about manuals, I keep the 1994 Soldiers Manual of Common Tasks, a Ranger Handbook, a REFORGER guide, and Surviving in Serbo-Croation handy for players to reference. Otherwise, I can dig stuff out of the basement or office, if necessary.
