When I run Vietnam wargames at conventions, I bring 3 NVA pith helmets and 3 tiger stripe boonie hats for my players and I wear either a vietnam war M1 helmet or a Cav Stetson. I used to bring 3 rice farmer hats but they were too wide brimmed and would occasionally cause trouble for my players when the convention hall got too packed or they needed to squeeze by each other
I mostly try and make sure I've shaved, showered, done something with my fingernails and aren't wearing work clothes. I'm a marine mechanic and my work gear/me get all kinds of bad on them.
I dressed up for a vampire larp once, but that wearing an acceptable suit with some fun accessories, not wearing a cape or holding a big pvc sword. I'd rather have accessories to hold at a table: show me what the cursed necklace looks and feels like, give us a map on paper you weathered with coffee, a linen pouch with some herbs in it.
That's awesome, little things like that go such a long way to build interest in what you're doing. Wouldn't want to do it every time you play, but it makes a great con experience
Otherwise it used to be a long running joke in our games that the GM had to look like a wizard so they'd wear a bathrobe and a pointy hat out of a news paper.
We had the same news paper for about 6 months but lost it when we moved house and now the GM doesn't dress up any more. Sad stuff, we were close to making gandalfs staff out of a PVC pipe, duct tape and an old coconut shell too.
Once around Halloween.
I dressed as a vampire for my VtM game, even got a little drink in what looked like a bloodbag.
Even funnier I put on the costume during the game as I did not feel like walking across campus dressed like 1800's Lestat.
Once I wore a fedora and brought a few packs of candy cigarettes while playing a PC who liked to smoke damn near anything. It helped get into character which was fun.
Sometimes I put on my robe but I would do that even if no one was in the basement listening to me ramble about air density at 10,000 feet and the properties of duraluminum
I always DM while wearing an extremely fancy ring, which contains a random 3rd level spell inside of it that I must cast during the session; the players know which spell I have rolled before the session begins, so they can try to play around it

There's something about vietnam war games that weirds me out. It's like war gaming Iraq, people are still alive from it.
No, but my players dressed up a couple of times when we played Vaesen. As a witch and a priest.
No, I usually undress.
>Do you ever dress
Where do you think you are?
>for a game?
Where do you think you are?
Played Time Wizards once if that counts

Usually for a campaign finale. Otherwise, no.
I wear a dark blue hoodie at sessions since my character wears a dark blue robe. I'll put the hood on when I'm in character.
im amazed theres people that go beyond just showering putting pants and a shirt on.
i honestly dont know how they do it.

Of course. It's rude to show up in a host's home without being properly dressed in a vest and spatterdashes.
Sorry, I cannot afford a suit of full plate armour.
bruh I don't even wear fricking clothes half of the time, what the frick are you on about?
I usually dress down for a game.
Should I be naked if playing as a druid?
When playing RISK (actually, the local variation/bootleg of RISK), I wear an old WW2 German helmet of my grandad.
I put pants on that's the most you're gonna get.

If it's Halloween or some other special occasion.
