Old time religion -- A mendicant collects alms outside a temple in the Free City of Greyhawk. (Jeff Easley, AD&D supplement Greyhawk Adventures by Jim Ward, TSR, 1988)

In the world of Greyhawk the priesthood of St Cuthbert is divided into three orders: the Chapeaux, the Stars, and the Billets. All three orders have access to the beguiling spell, which imbues their cudgels with the power to charm one opponent by touch. The cleric may tap the target to help convert them to the faith, or attempt a damaging attack on a more incorrigible soul.

Backpack Dissection

aight so I finally cleaned my bathroom meaning I have a great space to finally give y’all a peek into my modern backpack as promised!

So first off, the backpack. It’s honestly fairly small and simple in the grand scheme of backpacks - it has one front pocket and one extra pocket inside the main bit. I have a collection of pins on the front that I like!!

The front pocket holds a bunch of miscellaneous stuff that I don’t use very often. I’m not gonna list everything in here because it would make the list needlessly long, but main items of interest are:

Spare period products for emergencies

Bandaids

Panadol

My large collection of spare pride pins because the fuckers keep falling off and I MUST display my gay at ALL TIMES

Now!! The main pocket. This is where it gets interesting.

First off, there are three things you should know about me which will explain the next section: I am tired, poor, and full of anti-capitalist spite.

I worked out that if I brought my own instant noodles (they’re way cheaper at the supermarket than out of the vending machines), as well as a bowl thing and eating implements, I would be able to cook them in the hot water available on campus and save money. This is mostly a last resort mind you. It happened that I had a perfect bowl-thing on me - it’s too wide to be a cup, but too narrow to be a normal bowl, and it has a cork lid. It’s the perfect size for my needs, and the lid helps with cooking them.

Buying oat bars in large packets at the supermarket also works out to be cheaper than vending machine oat bars. I usually keep at least 2 on me of different flavours. The one I have pictured here can also be heated up in the microwaves (available in the campus kitchen) which is actually really nice.

Bringing my own tea is wayyyyy cheaper than buying it, and I can actually brew it properly. All this needs is teabags (in the jar), a takeaway cup, honey (small cling wrapped jar so it doesn’t leak), a teaspoon, and a small jar/bottle of milk (not pictured - i decant it the morning I’ll need it). Again, I have hot drinkable water available to me on tap.

Altogether this means that I can have breakfast, lunch, and cups of tea, all within my budget. These items are mostly a last resort - if I can I’ll add a sandwich or banana bread or something in the morning, as that’s a lot better than instant noodles - but if for some reason the bus schedule changes to half an hour earlier leaving me 15 minutes total to get ready, I won’t starve. (Yes that happened to me. Last Thursday in fact).

Other items are:

My water bottle (very important!)

A spare shopping bag

A crafting project to do on the bus and in lectures (currently knitting, as it’s compact)

A large notebook and pen

Not pictured:

My computer

The chargers for my computer & phone

The various other items I keep in my handbag: scissors, a lighter, wallet, keys, earbuds, a comb, many pens and pencils, sunglasses, tissues, hair ties, hand sanitizer & a mask

Future goals:

I want to get two 500mL water bottles so that I can keep them in the side pockets. I don’t put my current one in them because it unbalances it.

I’m gonna put in a larger variety of teas so I can have Choice™. Some of these will include non-milk teas for the days I forget to bring any (it happens).

Anyway, so that’s my modern adventuring supplies. I hope it was all interesting to y’all!! Feel free to ask any questions or give any advice, I welcome either 😄
