We should investigate doing this again.

Fortunately, the host had a DMG (how often do you use that <i>during</i> a game, anyways?) and a host of other supplemental books. I always copied anything I needed out of supplements, brought my MM, dice, screen, and props, and I was all set. Our extended gaming group tends to work like this:

Married guys are the DMs
Married guys host
Married guys wives make lots of goodies
rinse
repeat.

Now, the interesting thing to me is that the married guys were the DMs before they were married.

Moral of the story? DMs get more action.
