Expendable's tags:
I want you to imagine you're going on a long trip but there's a chance to run an rpg campaign along the way and with some new players who've never gamed before. Only you can't bring a lot - there just isn't the room. You have to pack your gaming gear as small as possible. Maybe one full-sized book.

If it was up to you, what system would you use and why?
What would you pack?
What would you do different to keep everything as small as possible?

My answers later.

    my own dice, first & foremost!

    me, i'd pack up villains & vigilantes, a ruleset that is IMHO unrivaled for its ability to handle houserules. i'd pack my dice of course, as well as my V&V setting docs. my materials do not lend themselves to compact packing any more than other docs, to be honest, but i'd certainly give it the old college try!

    Eurekame - an RPG campaign is a role playing game (like dungeons and dragons) with a theme. A single game is like a short story, but a campaign is a series of games that build on the previous ones, not unlike a novel.
     
    ed - We can all try, but there's got to be a way to make it smaller. PDFs are one way to do it but you need tech for that. Tech's ok but a better book might be what I'm looking for.

    I'm afraid I'm behind the times.  The only games that I play are on a p/c.  I have no game system (although I've often yearned for one) and specially now I can't afford the luxury.

    S'ok RollingC, I've got no system either. *sigh*.  But this wasn't about those kinds of systems. I'm looking for the dead forrest format kind.

I'm thankful for all my SC friends. :-) So to pay tribute I will make the turkery, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy. You can bring a side dish or dessert.

All are welcome.
