    Not necessarily unique, but I mostly always carry a small pouch containing a full D&D dice set.

    I haven’t needed dice in… years, now that I think about it, but I carry them as a symbol of luck. Not good luck or bad luck, just luck, chance. Helps me keep things in perspective when everything goes sideways.

        I do have an XL D100 I bought more as a collectible, treated copper alloy! Think it could be classified as lethal under appropriate use conditions!

      You never know when you’ll find yourself in a position where there are 20 choices and you just can’t decide.

        Oh, no, that particular D20 is a drama queen. I’d rather take a guess than trust that die.

            As I’ve said, a symbol of luck, not necessarily of good luck. A sort of Memento Mori, but for the fact that no matter how hard you try, sometimes it’s just not up to you.

              But… You specifically choose one that is bad luck when you could be trying to get one you believe is good luck lol so you could be trying!

                Ah, but you see, I’m not looking for a good luck thing! Having the one which always works against my best interests is a reminder that everything is about balance! Some are lucky, some are unlucky, and that’s just how life goes!

    An old silver pendant that used to be my mother’s. It has a simple yet iconic design, people often notice it and make comments on it.

    Leaving aside points about driving licence numbers being unique or whatever, it would be the silver pentagram that I made back in the '90s and have worn (or occasionally carry in my wallet etc, when the cord breaks) ever since.

    An arch lighter version of a zippo. It fits in traditional zippo cases so I have a collection of shells that I change out to fit the mood. The current one is matte black with a cthulhu theme in brass but normally I use the mercury glass with bones and flowers. My wife calls it my zappo.

    Also the severed finger of an elf.

    I have a 3d printed fidget slider and a custom-made worry stone I almost never leave the house without.

      Anything from an AA coin to a Zebra statue. Something other than your phone, keys, wallet.

    Nail clippers. Got them originally to help with a bad habit of cuticle picking, but I’ve learned they’re weirdly useful. They can cut things in a pinch and no security check gives a shit about them unlike a pocket knife.

    I’ve started carrying a fountain pen rather than a typical ballpoint. I think the writing experience is a bit more pleasant.

    I keep ear plugs in my zip pouch wallet so I’m always ready for any concerts or random loud areas.

      I keep a pack of disposable ones in my fanny pack. It’s useful because sometimes someone in the group needs em.

      Same here, I got this from being in the military, where you were issued a pair when you arrived in the ship.

      One pair in my travel stuff always. Habit from grad school when I lived next door to a frat house
