If you could bring with you one thing... - Page 2

Uytuun · Thu, 13th Nov '03, 10:42pm

Aladin's Lamp.

It exists, I swear it does!

Trydan · Fri, 14th Nov '03, 11:05am

My wife

Mithrantir · Fri, 14th Nov '03, 2:45pm

My swiss knife. One of the most usefull things i can thing of

Loerand · Fri, 14th Nov '03, 2:56pm

Probably my Leatherman...
And I will remind you of something...
You can only bring ONE thing! Not a gun AND bullets i.e...

Wordplay · Fri, 14th Nov '03, 5:35pm

Guiness Records.

Naw, seriously; my book of engineering and electricity... Would make millions and millions by selling all kinds of applications (plus, remembed thereafter as all-times-greatest-inventor)

Sir Belisarius · Fri, 14th Nov '03, 5:47pm

A gun with ammunition IS one thing...You can't have one without the other.

Mathetais · Fri, 14th Nov '03, 6:30pm

Hmmm ... could I bring with my Neverwinter Nights character (especially after he finishes Hordes of the Underdark)? He would keep me safe and sound.

If not, I'd bring with my Bible and the reality therein.

He preached to the masses and brought repentance to the lands, they burned their books of witchcraft and turned to the real and living God.

teekc · Fri, 14th Nov '03, 11:35pm

comprehensive, detailed D&D dungeon master handbook. i am going to control forgotten realms for sure!

Baezlebub · Sat, 15th Nov '03, 12:47am

Probably my guitar. I could earn myself a living as a bard. I can sing feasibly well, and my guitar skills are getting there. Who's to say that I can't?

Darhken Rahl · Mon, 17th Nov '03, 1:59am

guitar..wait only one? ;( i want to breing a tank to..hehe

Khazraj · Mon, 17th Nov '03, 7:10am

Tim Tams! That's for eveyone who knows what a real chocolate biscuit should be...

Arabwel · Mon, 17th Nov '03, 9:30am

A laptop with a solar battery

No better idea....

Yuch! The chocolate on them is pumped full of chemicals to stop them melting in the 40+ degree celsius heat where they were made. If you are looking for decent chocolate, then at least get it from somewhere cooler.

Although, I guess everyone has their own personal taste.

Foradasthar · Fri, 21st Nov '03, 3:26pm

Hmm, tough one. A battlecruiser full of supplies and ammunition?

Nah. Forgotten Realms is a dangerous place, not much exists in modern world that can beat a low-level magic in FR.

Still, I guess I'd go for a weapon. The only thing with a clear advantage as I can think is a Desert Eagle .50 AE and a bag full of ammunition. Sure, it's 40kg of stuff to carry around all the time but it's worth it. And the ammo won't run out any time soon as you wouldn't have to use the gun too many times. But no damn platemail would help against that one. Hard to say how defensive missile protection spells would work though.

If it was the other way around, I'd take a familiar like Fairy Dragon. Or even more likely a ring of invisibility (set times per day, so it would never really run out). Or a ring of regeneration. Or assuming the magic really worked here, I'd learn the ability to read a single Wish scroll and take it with me here.

Sir Belisarius · Fri, 21st Nov '03, 4:33pm

a bicycle or solar powered car.

back to the time when the Forgotten REalms took place

Uh, you do realize that it never really happened, right?

The first thing I would want is a big robe -- can't go running around naked. Second, a good pair of shoes.

After that, it depends how long I'd be there. If it's just for the afternoon, I'm guessing I'll want a camera. If it's for a long time, I'd take a Bible. I'd say my wife, but I don't think she is rightly counted as a "thing."

Arabwel · Sat, 22nd Nov '03, 8:00am

UI'd also like to note that that solar-battery powered laptop would also have all the FR-relqated material ever pubklished, as well as all the general D&D stuff.

And the power of statistical analsysis....

Baezlebub · Sun, 23rd Nov '03, 8:57am

@ Trydan

I'm going to assume that you have no idea what you are talking about, elsewise you would withdraw that statement. Australia produces some of the best of the worlds chocolates. Ever heard of Cadbury? Well its English, but we have a factory! Yeah, goddamn we rock. And Arnotts, the creators of the TimTam use Cadbury chocolate in their biscuits. As we all know, a TimTam will melt in ones fingers, due to the body heat of our bodies, which is 37 C. So, I find it highly unlikely that it is "s pumped full of chemicals to stop them melting in the 40+ degree celsius heat where they were made", considering they are melting at 37. This is assuming, of course, that the outside of our bodies is constant to the inside. So, before you go and offend the TimTam with your bigotted and ignorant comments, do some research first.

Yeah, a never ending packet of TimTams would be great.

Abomination · Sun, 23rd Nov '03, 9:35am

Bill Gates

He'd make me rich and famous by bringing the wonders of Windows to Toril!

If not that, then a library of Forgotten Realms novels. I'd be the wisest sage in the land, just let me find the vertical file...

Arabwel · Sun, 23rd Nov '03, 9:37am

Bill Gates, eh?

I tink that'sd be a waste, someone would just banish him back to his home plane in the blink of an eye, the usual fate of fiends, yes?

I'd suggest Linus Torvalds

casey · Sun, 23rd Nov '03, 11:37am

Difficult choice but I'd have to say I'd take J Lo with me

Yerril · Sun, 23rd Nov '03, 1:25pm

Actually, scratch the food and drink! I'd just take a city. London, in fact. Yeah, I'd take London. Think of the possibilities.

Ken Livingstone would become more powerful than Elminster!

Shell · Sun, 23rd Nov '03, 3:00pm

Antique furniture, then I can sell it for loads of money

casey · Sun, 23rd Nov '03, 4:11pm

forget furiture I'd just bring a few million dollars. But that's more then one thing and then there's having the room to bring it with you...

Hacken Slash · Sun, 23rd Nov '03, 9:37pm

I would bring a wand of teleportation...to get me out of this funky place where I don't belong...I've seen my stats, I need to get back to the 21st century world.

Oh, and if you want chocolate that will survive a nuclear blast...leave the Timtams alone and go for Hershey's...enough parafin to make a decent candle.
