Laptop Backpack:
Laptop - which I use to run DnD4e Combat Manager (it tracks all hit points, conditions, powers, etc.) I keep character wish lists, upcoming encounters, various notes, and a few other things on for gaming.
Folder with notes and DM screen if I need it.
Dungeon Tiles Set
Pens/Pencils
Dice Bag

Tackle Box Containing:
Assorted Tokens
Assorted Minis
Extra Tiles (some from the new Red Box)
Plastic Storage Container holding my home-made magnetic condition markers.
Plastic Bag containing flat on the bottom, circular top glass beads (I use these to represent action points).

Going to be getting my own battle mat, but for now one of the other guys is providing one along with wet-erase markers.

My kit is a little unusual because I use a laptop and projector instead of a DM screen and battlemat. I do still have a defined and portable kit, though.

In one hand, I carry the mounting rig for the projector. Base board, pipe flange, 5-foot pipe, elbow joint, short pipe, flange, top board, projector mount, angle-adjusting screws.

In the other hand, I pull a roll-aboard suitcase that contains the following:

  • 30-pound sandbag (for holding the mounting rig in place on the floor)
  • Digital projector
  • Laptop
  • Projector power cord
  • Laptop power cord
  • VGA cable to connect the projector to the laptop
  • Extension cord
  • Three-way splitter to plug into the end of the extension cord
  • Mouse
  • Projector remote control
  • White vinyl mat (to lay on the table to project the image onto)
  • Pens
  • Rules Compendium
Also in the suitcase is a Crown Royal bag containing:

  • A tin of dice
  • A handful of minis to use for PCs for players who haven't brought their own
  • Bonus Point tokens (to hand to players when they do cool stuff, which can be cashed in to add or subtract 1 from a die roll)
  • Some plastic gems to hand out for use as action points
