What’s a little, lost elf to do?
Cool article at Wizards…
At least, if you’re into the new d20 Modern game. The article is about “crossing over” from a fantasy world to “real” world and all the problems that might be encountered. Very cool and well thought out.
The article addresses things like getting ID when one is from another reality. Dealing with the “locals”. How to make money, or otherwise deal with the harsh realities of life. Written by one of the veteran gamers who actually wrote the d20 Modern rules, the article is both insightful and thought-provoking.
It’s also useful to an author who may be interested in writing about some of the same issues. How would an elf who’s found themselves alone in the big city react? What would be their first goal? What kinds of challenges would they face? All excellent material for a story.
