What is your gaming bag?

[Thanos]

Back pack? Brief case? Satchel?

What do you use to carry your books and stuff?

Clearance sale laptop bag.

 

[The Pakkrat]

The original box to the iPad Pro as I haven't gotten around to buying a real tablet bag.

Books have become virtual, dice too, miniatures an Auld Skool item. Anyone want to buy my 4000+pt. Skaven Army, 2000+ pt Undead or 3000+pts of Chaos?

Books stay at home, dice collect dust, all replaced by devices.

Depends upon the game...

my daily "go-bag" is a divided main compartment shoulder bag, black, labeled "Building Bridges Campaign for Mental Health" with a bridge logo... bag, when full, is about 10x13x5"

see: http://www.alaska.net/~mhaa/bridges.html for more info.

I used to be the MHAA admin assistant.

For games I don't have a lot for, I put the book and folder, along with my laptop and dice. Likewise, I use this for games where most of it is in PDF.

For games that take more space, I tend to go to about 0.2 cu ft clear sterilite tubs with latching lids. 10x10x14" overall; sealed but not specifically waterproof.

For the largest, I go to about 1 cu ft sterilite containers and/or milk crates.

These days, with my games being either Play by Post or Google Hangouts, I'm GMing from my desk. My books are handy, though I really 99.9% of the time pull up my PDFs for those. I have a folder with my game notes, and a bowl of dice on my desk.

I did an experiment though of seeing if I could fit my "if this was all I got to keep for RPGs" minimal kit into a smallish laptop bag, and was able to fit my critical Traveller, D&D, RuneQuest, and Burning Wheel stuff, plus dice, pencils, and paper, into it.

If I was going to run Traveller someplace my laptop wasn't going to be available, I would use that bag and easily fit everything in (Books 1-3, folder of campaign notes, plus I would make a small binder of supplemental material I would most want to be able to reference).

Depends on what I am playing. It could range from a back pack to a trunk load of gear if I am running my recreation of the Jane's Naval Game from 1898.

My general purpose bag - the one I travel with now, lived out of for about a year when I was on walkabout and the one I use to schlep gaming materials around now that I've come in from wandering - is a Tom Bihn Synapse 25, black/iberian.

Yes it is. You are the first one to comment on it. Oliver Wendell Holmes poem, "Old Ironsides".

Aye tear her tattered ensign down
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the cannon's roar;—
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.

Her deck, once red with heroes' blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying o'er the flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee;—
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!

Oh, better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!

To the best of my knowledge, the only ship ever to have captured 4 British warships in its career. In my humble opinion, the finest wooden frigate ever built.

Whatever box I find that is large enough until it falls apart. Then I find another.

 

[JimMarn]

I used to have several plastic milk cartons. My books, dice, and other items fit in two of them. No idea what happened to the boxes, probably my relatives grabbed them up. I found my books in several carboard boxes which isn't what I left them in.

In the good old days of actual face-to-face, the AD&D 1st and 2nd editions were in 2 milk crates.

When I tried to run a Traveller campaign, I used a briefcase.

I used to use an old Samsonite briefcase but it eventually only had enough room for the rules and all those JTAS issues. Plus assorted copies of various other gaming magazines. It looked snappy, but eventual practicality and wanting to look less nerdy long left it in my garage. Where it still gathers dust and the odd spider.

Kensington Saddle Bag (laptop bag) usually in messenger bag mode. But for larger needs it was a catalog brief case.

of course, it has now been years since I hauled anything. A lot is now electronic as I have to travel light.

 

[Reynard]

The label is in french but it seems to be a pack made by the people who make the swiss army knife. The bag holds a ton of books (for example, my T5 hardbound as well as three Mongoose Traveller hard bounds as well as lots of game sheets and a pad of paper) plus all my dice, pencils and pens. It's incredibly tough and sturdy. Lots of web pouches and pockets. Had it for years and regularly overload it and not a sign of stress or tears.

I agree. I read your signature perhaps a dozen times and thought that it was familiar. So I started digging through our classics on the book shelf. Nothing there I could find. So I googled it. Then I wacked myself on the forehead. I read it last in high school. I see why you like it and how it can easily apply to a Trav Game.

She is also the oldest living ship afloat.
