What do you have on you at the moment?

In my first gaming group, we would occasionally throw around the idea of playing a game in which the core conciet was that each of us was taken over to another, parallel reality; the typical psuedo-medieval magical world where the characters we would play would be the rules interpretations of ourselves. This makes for miserably low ability scores, but would heighten character buy-in immensely.

The equipment each character would carry would be whatever we happened to have on us at the moment.

So, the question is this: What equipment do you have on you at the moment?

I have:

velcro-closure sandals, a tee-shirt, long shorts with big pockets, underwear, and a leather belt
a wristwatch to very accurately track time
two sets of keys (these might serve as weapons in a pinch, or the rings themselves might be useful.)
a leather wallet with $61 dollars US, assorted reciepts, business cards, some plastic, and three pieces of ID with photos of me (essentially useless, except for the posible novelty value of the ID)
a handful of coins (again, useless)
a mobile phone (potentially very useful in the short term as an emergency light source or as a way to amuse, distract or intimidate peasants, but essentially useless in the long run.

I stopped carrying a lighter when I quit smoking. That might have been handy.
I stopped carrying a knife when I started teaching. Again, would be handy in this rarified circumstance.
I am comfortable without my knife, but if I get a Dex check to grab it before the portal sucks me through, it's within arm's reach, on the back of the other chair.

Again, if you were sucked through a magical portal into D&D world right now, how would your equipment list read?

I hate carrying things in my pockets...so I'm screwed. Key's, my wallet with normal wallet items in it, cell phone, & my watch. The first thing I would do is take my watch to an inventors workshop and see if they could reproduce such a thing.

My luck I would be wisked away while I just got out of the shower and just before I grabbed my towel.
 



Jeans, a green T-Shirt, a wool pullover from the University of Edinburgh, and my fearsome boxer-briefs. That's it. I think I'd be in trouble. :uhoh:

On the other hand, I have my books within easy reach, and I could see my various monster books coming in very handy.

EDIT: Well, okay, I have my glasses. That's not exactly helpful, just necessary.

I'm naked. After all, there's no better way to post on ENWorld :D
Unless you're posting naked with a Vin Diesel blow up doll on your lap and.....I mean....

[macho voice]Unless at the same time you're drinking beer in a flannel and watching baywatch while getting your mullet trimmed.[/macho voice]
 

sweat pants, underwear, socks, slippers, t-shirt, fleece jacket.

And the kicker, two rings, 1 plain white gold and 1 silver with a chameleon carved on it. I will be the white gold bearer! But I'm not a leper with fingers missing so it might not be the same :) .

Oh and there is that silver crown on one of my teeth, but if the adventure comes down to that level things have gone really bad.

That would be pretty much the worst time for me, though when I was sleeping wouldn't be much better. I'd at least have my boxers. When sleeping or in the shower are pretty much the only times I don't have my glasses. I wouldn't really care at any other time as long as I'm wearing my glasses. New clothes and stuff could easily be found, I hope.

Right now, I'm wearing sweatpants, boxers, my glasses [of course], a t-shirt and a button-down overshirt. [no shoes or socks cause I'm at home sitting comfortably in my chair]

Good thing no one with asthma goes into another world, especially if they don't have their inhaler. Would suck if the story began fine, but five minutes after entering the pseudo world they had an asthma attack and died.

Nah, you're not safe. You'd probably be mysteriously healed in the crossing-over. That's how these things work, you know. ;)
