What do you have on you at the moment?

Yeah we have them, but who actually carries a handful of the coins with them? I do so only when I need to catch the bus and it's easier than 4 quarters. Only time I see them otherwise is when I purchase something at a gas station where someone apparently pays for gas with them or something.

I think I'm allright here.

Folding knife, gold ring, wristwatch (has a little compass on it), steel-toed army boots, Leatherman, mini-maglite and a powerbar:)

Come on time-portal! get me before I hit the bathtub:)

P.S. I think you meant to say 'Nah, you're safe' as opposed to NOT safe. ;)

No, I meant "Nah, you're not safe from being hoovered up into a dangerous world of sorcery and things with big pointy teeth by virtue of your asthma." :D

Gah, you can eat those things?! I think I'd rather try my hand at untrained Survival checks to rustle up some kobold babies to eat.

What, honest answer? Right this instant?

Uh, a polo shirt, my wedding ring, and my glasses.

You kind of caught me at a bad time, ya see. :heh:
 

Black t-shirt that says CANADA KICKS ASS
Black pinstripe pants
Wool socks
Laptop with 5 hours of battery
Cell phone
3 Eberron books + DMG 2
2 mechanical pencils + white eraser
Clipboard with character sheet + scrap paper

I'd be kobold-fodder for sure.

Briefs and Glasses. (My apartment's ventilation stinks, place gets over heated when I run hot water.) With the heat wave we've been having (80 on the coast) it's possible I'd be plucked while soaking in the bath to cool down.

Now, if it were a Lost Souls type world being skyclad would give me all sorts of neat supernatural abilities :p
 

Huh. I've got a wristwatch which will probably run for a couple years if I don't use the light. I could probably sell it for a good price.

I've got my car key. It's got a LED; after ten years the battery must be close to dying but I think it could last for a good while more. I could sell it, but I'd keep it. I've used it as an emergency light source at times; you can't read by it, but with decent night vision it's enough to figure out the general shape of your surroundings.

I've got some keys, papers and money. The metal stuff is cheap and fairly useless. Maybe sell the plastic cards as novelty.

I've got eyeglasses. Must keep them and keep them intact, at least until I can afford a magical way to fix them (or, better, remove disease - I wonder if remove blindness works for myopia). In the right conditions, the lenses might be enough to start a fire.

I've got a cellphone, but the battery won't last more than a week or so, even if I make it work offline. I could probably sell it for more than the wristwatch, especially if I use the MP3 player function and camera, but then I'd have to run away very, very quickly. Those things are a power drain. ;)

Alternatively, I'd keep the phone for later. As a computer programmer, I've got no skills at all that would be of even marginal use in a preindustrial context, save for reading and writing.

But I'd probably know much more math than anyone else in the world, and I find the idea of manipulating reality through arcane languages and mysterious devices which can cause terrible things if used by the uninitiated to be quite natural. Hopefully, that counts for something in the magic department. :lol:

At that point, chances are that I could develop a spell to recharge a cellphone, or at least make a continual battery.

My cellphone has the complete 3.5e SRD.

Armed with a full, detailed and numerically accurate description of how everything in the multiverse works, I'd then proceed to conquer the world. :cool:

If it were to happen while I'm at work: hard hat, eye glasses, possibly safety goggles, safety glasses, or a face shield, ear protection of some kind, coveralls, a sweatshirt, a t-shirt, a belt, undergarmets, socks, steel toed boots, a utility knife, and an assortment of hand tools. I think I'd be ok.

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

At the moment, a leather wallet with the obligatory paper and plastic, some pocket change, two rings of excessive keys, and not even my normal watch and wedding ring, because I'm a forgetful son of a gun.

However, I would have had a 14 inch survival knife had I seen this an hour and a half ago. Darn. :)

Side note: I had a buddy who used to be in the U.S. Army a few years ago. His group (platoon?) played a D&D variant that had this exact idea. The DM would come around at inopportune times and "tag" the players, and what they had on was what they arrived in D&D-land carrying. One guy got caught coming out of the SHOWER, the poor clod. Another was caught on guard duty, but my buddy was caught having JUST finished some sort of field maneuvers, if full dress gear, full backpack, full complement of live ammo, etc.

He told me he did well in that game. :)
