So far it hasn't happened for me  lol

If I can I like/liked to have themed dice, dice tray, cards, props (although that's only Japanese fans for my samurai games so far), music etc. basically anything that makes it an event rather than just a game  :)

cheers

This. I detest brightly coloured markers, chits, beads and templates on my game board. Even dice belong on a sideboard, tray.

Some games require markers-

I'm a big fan of X-Wings solution. The cards on the side of the table allow you to keep chits off the play area yet allow you to keep track of shields and crits.

The movement templates detract, but for its simplicity it's a price I am willing to pay.

Hats! You have got to have hats, themed to the game, although a fez can pass muster for any game :)

Of course. One would be naked without a fedora, sun helmet, kepi, turban, Adrian, pickelhaube, beret or fez.
