What's in your pack?

[I'm A Banana]

All adventurers have weapons, armor, magic....but I'm interested in the mundane things. The things that are more utilitarian than flashy....so, post the contents of your pouches or backpacks, your sacks and sachels. You buy a lot of random adventuring items a la carte...so tell me, right now, what does your character have for random utilitarian items?

One time I looked at one of my player's sheets for something, and I noticed that in his backpack, he had written down an odd item - Slayer "Reigning Blood" 7"ep (Slayer are a speed metal band for those who don't know.) I nearly died laughing!!!

I'm a collector of wierd stuff when I'm a player, so my backpacks tend to be filled with mescellaneous debris that was largely included as scene filler by the GM. Very occasionally they come in useful, mostly they're just there to serve as reminders of what came before should the PC last that long (none of them do, for one reason or another).

I once had a player who included a door knocker on his backpack, just because he found it in an equipment list and decided he wanted on. Eventually he enchanted it so the familiar could get in and out of the pack without to much difficulty.

The weirdest thing I've found on one of my players lists was a adamentium nail clipper which they stole from a succubes (I had completely forgot that he had took that ). The rest is the normal stuff like chalk, retractable 10'' poles, etc.

all the things they cost nothing and weigh even less.

Line and fishing hooks. Chalk - never go anywhere without it. A couple of small knives. A couple changes of clothing. A file. Odd bits of string, leather thongs and several small carved toy animals (village kids love stuff like that), some small gems and loose coin, some willow bark. Plus the normal adventuring stuff, like cord and grapple, etc.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

small mirror
pouch of powdered chalk
chalk sticks in different colors (blue, red, green, white)
string
signal whistle

those are the things I buy for every character I make
