So let's say you know ahead of time, somehow, that you're going to have an Adventure. How would you prepare? What would you pack? What essential items do you need to have on your person before departing?

A pocket knife, a rope and for extra zaniness a couple paper clips! ;D

Delling

cellphone, rope, Swiss army knife, flashlight :yes:

Depending on how much time I had or how much I knew I could carry with me, a change of clothes... oh, and wallet if I thought money would be useful wherever the hypothetical adventure is taking place.

Money, not even that much, but it is better than going in broke.  Not every pawn shop is going to let you trade in knick knacks.

^ Really?  :o I've never been in a pawn shop, so I didn't know that.

I believe pawn shops usually give money for things and things for money, so you can sort of trade stuff, but not in a 1-to-1 sort of way that Alex did. XD

And I'd definitely bring rope and a knife of some sort. Probably some sort of food as well, in case I end up starving in the mountains or needing to pie a Yeti.

You forgot a thingy that plugs into electrical outlets that, when charged, turn people into babies.

Never know when you might need a thingy that plugs into electrical outlets that, when charged, turn people into babies.

Clearly, the alternate solution to dealing with Malicia is to use the Gopher Repellant. :P

A sandwich potion is a potion that produces a cheese sandwich when used. (The Paladin is your Pal.)

I've never played an adventure game where I didn't, at one point or another, think "Gosh, if only I had a shovel" or "Gosh, if only I had magic rope"

So those are my two MUST HAVES.

Knife, rope, backpack, first aid kit, slingshot, hand mirror, and a bucket.
I have my cake and eat it too, until it's gone.  Then I can't do either.


Aww!  You have the Sword of Hugging +3!  All of your attacks deal affectionate damage!

Well, I think a magic bag that can hold a lot of stuff is definitely needed.  :)
