It consists of:1. a copy of ForeSight (my favorite general-purpose RPG)2. a copy of HindSight (fantasy supplement for the above)3. a pocket atlas of the world4. the 'Penguin Atlas of World History' (two pocket-sized paperbacks)5. a Slimpick wallet containing character sheets, duplicates of the character generation rules &c.6. 1 pair of percentile dice7. a propelling pencil, an eraser, and spare leads8. a pad of lined A4 notepaper.With that, I undertake to run an adventure in any genre with 15 minutes notice.To expand that to a 'standard roleplaying kit' I add9. a Slimpick wallet containing background material and notes on my SF setting, 'Flat Black'10. a folder containing a couple of dozen world descriptions for 'Flat Black'11. a Slimpick wallet containing background material for my fantasy setting 'Gehennum'12. a folder containing the 'Gehennum Encyclopaedia'13. an A2 sheet of hex-grib covered with acetate film14. a set of 4 differently-coloured OHP erasible markers.Everything fits into my attaché case.Most of the stuff is for character-player's reference, and my preparation in the 15 minutes of warning time. I find that few things sap my feeling of engagement with my character's situation worse than the GM taking time out of scenes to rabbit through reference material. So I try to run sessions without ever having to crack a book.Regards,Agback</blockquote>
