Tonight you go to sleep and in the morning when you wake you are in a traditional fantasy world. Where would you like to be and what would be the first thing you do?

I would want to appear close to a border post of some country. First thing I would do would be to see what would be needed to start taking over the country. Let ambition reign.

Interesting thought.

The place I would like to be really does depend on if I woke as myself as I am now, or if I would wake with the skills and talents of a fantasy charecter I would like to be.

If the latter.
I would want to wake just on the outskirts of some magical kingdom, a solace with a dark underbelly of corruption and wonder.
I would love to be half-elven, with the best traits of both races.
My class would be chaotic nuetral, a warrior/thief.
Someone who could take care of herself and that would live a very interesting life...

If I woke as myself well the world would be less dramatic.

I would like to wake in a beautifull land, beside a magical wood next to a waterfall, full of animals and magic...
I would love to be able to go to this place on will, it is my dream to be able to go to such place to write and paint...

Werever i can overthrow evil and be the hero that no one acknowledges, shunned by all despite my good deeds.

Cosmo · 11th March 2006, 12:28 PM

kye, that is so strange 1 of my 2 d&d characters is a half elf, chaotic neutral but i am a rogue assassin, the 1 difference

anyway if i woke up in a fantasy world the first thing i'd do would be to sell my modern clothes and get traditional fantasy ware i would then buy a fleet of weapons, mainly knives, i would buy some picks too, i would then try to gather together some people to start a gang which would then become leading gang in country, finally i would try to do as saeltari did

If i were given the choice i would wake up in a land where the human species are regarded as rare and wonderful, and treated as if beyond reproach. A land where humans can be trained to use our minds full potential. A land af constant strife, political upheaval, and just about every other cliche relevant to epic fantasy adventures!
The first thing i would say is...Angelina, lets get you out of those wet clothes and into a dry mar....ah.... wrong fantasy....ahem, as i was saying the first thing i would do would be to travel the new world, experience every new culture, taste all the new foods, or similar ones to our own as the case may be. Thats how it is with reading books i suppose, travelling that world through the novel, tasting foods through the authors descriptions etc. I'd like to put another joke in here seeings i've gone all philosophical on you, but im only good for one per message.

The first thing I would do if I woke up as myself in a fantasy land would be to intigrate myself with the local wizards. I would want training up as soon as possible, given that I would have no idea of what dangers I would be facing. I would like to join a sword school, but given my success at self defence I reckon I would probably end up cutting my own head off

I wouldn't want to find myself somewhere that was incredibly 'backwards', but I would like to find myself somewhere where there is less reliance on technology and the benefits of beauty and large sums of money

Although I would be exceptionally happy if the local clothing were of a more medieval stlye and if greater respect was given to the integrity of land and animals. I would also want to re-acquaint myself with the scant equairian and archery skills I possess as I would want to travel with a bunch of like minded people ~ adventourous scholers

I don't think I'm the mercenary type though. If this were the type of adventure where I could be anyone I wanted then I would certainly be more warrior-like and more certain of myself. So I don't think I would want to find myself in the middle of a land that is facing upheaval. For the sake of some plot, perhaps the wizards I fall in with have discovered a new type of magic, or are facing dispute with ruthless family members.

If i had a choice I would want to wake up in a royal court of a powerful kingdom , where I whould then entertain them with stories of a mystical fantasy land where human can create wonderous machines out of many different alloys and substances. While hearing about the politics and gossip of the rest of the world.

GOLLUM · 12th March 2006, 05:05 AM

If given the choice I'd wake up as Conan the Barbarian with several nubile babes perched upon my numerously bulging biceps...

OH sorry what am I saying that's no dream.....

I'd definitely want to wake up somewhere in Steven Erikson's world of the Malazan with some serious wizardly power so that I'm all ready to kick some major T'Lan Imass butt YEH!!!!.....

sounds good to me

While almost any science fiction universe has a niche for me: fantasy? Archivist, possibly? Pedantic know-it-all isn't a traditional fantasy, requirement, particularly if the all I know is for another universe. Analytic skills? Might be handy in working out spells and the like, or battle plans.

While the post of "venerable sage" holds some attraction, I need something to do, a job. I'm not hero material, nor villain, for that matter. Introducer of technology? tutor? I suspect the rôle cut out for me is "victim"

Weird as I was origionally wanted to say warrior/thief/assasin (one of my charecters in the book im writing is this person I would've liked to be in an alternate reality) Yet I thought it sounded a little too weird.
