What do you have on you at the moment?

[loki44]

I hate carrying things in my pockets...so I'm screwed.

Likewise. The first thing I do when I arrive at the office (my current location) is empty my pockets. Greenish khaki pants, a drab green wool sweater with a t-shirt underneath, socks, underwear and sturdy brown leather shoes. I am wearing a belt and my cell phone is attached. My contacts could prove to be problematic if I'm gone for an extended period of time. If I could grab one thing at hand before being sucked in it'd have to be my sunglasses. Gotta have my shades. Ooooh, lucky me.....just remembered I have a really nice pen tucked behind my ear.

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

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

Hmmm, linen shirt, cotton t-shirt, underwear, cotton pants, suspenders, socks, steel toed work boots, glasses, silver earring (might have to pawn this...).

Wallet full of material and information utterly useless to the world.

Loose change, ditto; keys, even more ditto.

Pen -- good for a month or so, then dead. Pocket notebook with about 30pp unwritten -- good for a few days at best.

Nope, if I got sucked through with this equipment, I'd be hosed.

OTOH, I'm pretty good with an axe...

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.

Um.. that would be me...
The one that routinely trades in dollar bills for those coins when I go to Renaissance faires.
Usually have a couple in my pocket at any one time.

Lets see at the moment:

Glasses
dress pant, dress shirt, underwear, dress shoes (not very comfortable)
leather belt
carved knotwork design leather "holster" for cellphone (w/ cellphone inside)
beatup old wallet
silver knotwork money clip (w/ bunches of money, which would be useless there)
handful of coins (including 3 sakajewia dollars)
black sharpie
2 pens
silver knotwork wedding ring
silver knotwork necklace

No longer at that point where the half dozen knives were in easy reach, or other useful tools in the camo jacket that I used to wear through high school and college. And most of my other weaponry is at home at not at my workplace. Ah, I guess I used to be better prepared when I was younger.

Like most white-collar workers, if I were sucked away while I was at work (as I am now), I would probably be in trouble. My inventory: watch, gold wedding ring, government ID, dress shirt, tie, dress slacks, leather belt, socks, t-shirt, underwear, dress shoes.

I don't even have my wallet or keys on me at the moment (they are in a bag sitting on my desk).

I was about to say, I have seen them used at Ren faires as the exclusive dollar unit, which was very cool indeed.

$2 bills are all at the racetrack, gold $1 coins are all at the Ren Faires, hey, I think I'll start a sanctuary for all the poor oppressed $50 bills out there...

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'd be fine. A fantasy world wouldn't have all the nasty chemical crap floating around, making your body go "EW! Get this %$!# out of me, NOW!" ... so you'd be unlikely to have problems with asthma attacks.

My glasses and two swiss army knives (one with saw) are the only items of value. Though I do carry dollar coins and they maybe something to pass off on to ignorant peasants.

In college, I suprised the group with a one-shot adventure that was a break in the regular campaign. It was just like you described. Everyone played themselves, with the stuff they had on them at the time. It was fun.

Much funnier, however, was the next session, when--even though I told them we'd be returning to the normal campaign--my friend Jim showed up in a trench coat full of extra pockets and hooks on the inside for attaching things. In that coat he had a number of knives, some rope, a wad of cash, scissors, pens, paper, two watches, a spade, batteries, string, and a lot more stuff I no longer remember. It was very funny. He went to a lot of trouble for that joke, and said that he was going to come to every game session like that, just in case (he didn't).

Oh, and to answer the question--dockers, socks, shoes, and a mock-neck shirt. Not much of use. When I'm sitting at my desk, I always ditch anything I might have (keys, change, my wallet, etc.) to be comfortable.

I've played in games that started like this. As such, I now keep on my person at all times a high-powered hunting rifle and about 40 pounds of extra ammo, just in case this happens. In the shower, in bed; at all times.

People look at me funny.
