[QUOTE="ART!, post: 7386856, member: 79926"] [B]Backpack[/B]: Bag o' dice (various types, multiples of each). Spiral-bound notebook. 3x5 cards. mechanical pencil. ink pen (black or blue). yellow highlighter. water bottle. snack/nutrition/protein bars. Almost all of this stuff is always in my backpack no matter what I'm using the backpack for. [B]Android tablet[/B] with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Acrobat Reader installed. I have a lot of gaming PDFs, including lots of simple one-shot or short-run adventures. Most of it is stuff I picked up for free or on a Pay-What-You-Want basis. [B]Android smartphone[/B], for access to the same items as the tablet, in case I left the tablet or the dice at home. I don't take notes on devices, though - that's all done on paper. I also have my minis and rigid board tiles (of various sizes, of indoor and outdoor locations) all packed into a portable compartmentalized [B]tackle/craft box[/B]. Rule books optional, since I have a lot of those as PDFs (see above). Playing mostly D&D 5E these days and I have a Master subscription to D&D Beyond with a lot fo shared content, so I don't [I]need [/I]the books. [/QUOTE]
