What do you have on you at the moment?

Hmmm, hiking boots, socks, flannel shirt, down vest, jeans, glasses. Stretchy hair band to bind my hair back, watch.
In various pockets:
Wallet, currency, and plastic.
Empty plastic trashbag.
Spare shoelace (only 1 not a pair).
Leatherman with 12 various tools, including knife blades, small saw, and screwdrivers.
Pencil, pen, small notebook, a cheap flat calculator.
Keys, small flashlight on keyring, comb, toothpick.
Small round plastic compass, for no good reason.

I'm ready for adventure!

Right now? Clothes, watch, wallet with no change in it, some receipts and used bus passes for a city some 500 miles away. Now if you caught me outside my room, odds are excellent I'd have my backpack with me, and things start to look better. Add in driving glasses, leatherman, screwdriver, graphing calculator, numerous pens and pencils, binder full of paper (some blank, some not), and probably an optics textbook.

--Impeesa--
 

Hmmm I guess I'd be doing alright:

Pants/shirt/shoes/socks/etc (yeah)
Baseball cap

Leather jacket:
In one pocket I found a girls phone number, and in the other a "ticket" for the local casino, worth $4.95

In pants pocket:
1 pack of cigarettes
2 packs of matches, and 1 brand new lighter. (Old lighter died, was using the matches and just got the new one) <-- There's the winner :p
1 wallet (full of assorted odds and ends, some money, mostly cards). Hmm, my wallet has a hook on it, because it used to be attached to a chain. Perhaps something useful.

Seriously, if you're ever in a situation of getting lost far away from civilization, being a smoker can -save your life- ;) Oh the irony.
 

Only items of note on me right now would be my multi-tool, PDA, and my mini-flashlight.

We had an avatar game (Nightbane) like this but we had a limited amount of time to gather stuff. Between my camping gear, my WW2 re-enactment gear, and my gun collection, I came out much better than anybody else. Seems I was the only one that could say "I go home and get my AK-47 and a couple of pistols."
 


Wrong Question?

If I were grabbed, RIGHT NOW, I would have normal street clothes (that no one cares to have described), and my (old) boots (with holes in them!), and glasses. With a successful DEX check, I could add medicines that I HOPE I won't need (like the asthmatics), and a host of small items. Of course, I would make the Mysterious, Mystical-Magical Vortex chase me about the room, so I could conceivably grab a veritable HOST of survival gear, the sword and sheath at the head of my bed, the quiver of arrows (although the bow's kinda hard to get to), knives and handaxes, blah, blah, blah...

I think "What do you have on you, NOW?" is the wrong question, though... It should be: "What would you normally habe on you at the game session?" In that case, survival gear is minimal, and no swords or bows appear...

I would have a lockblade knife, a multitool, a LED flashlight that will last about 140 hours, a Ranger Rick's Survival Necklace with a ring-saw, glow-in-the-dark whistle, two dog-tags with full-coverage silencers, a firestarter (flint & steel) with tinder, and a small compass (the last two attached via small snap-swivels), as well as a short length of beaded chain.

On my wrist I would have a Suunto X6 watch, with altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer, and watch, with a brand new battery in it. It also alarms when it's about to rain.

In the backpack, along with the paper, pens and pencils, books, character sheets, equipment lists, and dice, I would have a metal "Space Pen" usable as a "Prison-Special" weapon, as well as a light rain jacket, a pair of handcuffs and keys, a small first aid kit, and a fixed-blade dagger. I might or might not also have a folding plastic letter-opener style pocketknife.

If I was LUCKY, I would also have two liters of Diet Coke, and some type of munchies, to help keep me alive. If not, I'm stuck with the glucose tablets in the first aid kit... :(
 

Jeans, T-shirt, socks, underwear. My wallet and keys are on the desk about 10 feet away... not that I'd reach for them anyway. If I reached for anything, it would be the battleaxe on the wall behind me. And if I had a minute to grab a few things, I'd be sure to get the shortsword-sized kris knife in the other room.
 

Probably the best you could hope for would be to be a solidier with full kit out on maneuvers when you're sucked away to another realm. Or even better, have your whole vehicle sucked in as well.
 

- Black Tee Shirt
- Casio Watch
- Leather necklace with a sterling silver coin with a wizard on one side and a healing symbol on the other
- Black BDU Pants
- Belt
- $26
- Serenity rock
- Wallet with ID and emergency money
- Pocket knife

Usually I am barefoot when I can be.

Give me a two minutes and I can be armed with two sword, a knife, two loaded pistols and a shotgun. (You all think I'm paranoid, don't you? I heard that.)

There's a nifty anime series called Those Who Hunt Elves. Very humorous, three modern people with military equipment rumbling around a fantasy world in a battle tank. Good times :)
