[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7514444, member: 6925649"] Well we've got to give them a fighting chance. Didn't say technology doesn't work, maybe some technology doesn't work, like for instance the guns the Marines accompanying the crew might not work without smoke powder. Electronics work fine, and so do the liquid methane powered rocket engines. Some magic works outside of the radius as well, gods, and really powerful mages can work their spells outside of this radius, but it is very costly for them to do so. So basically the rocket can land on Toril, the crew can communicate with Earth via radios and satellites. The satellites also act as GPS satellites, providing latitude and longitude to the crew holding their GPD devices. I think I will land this outside of Waterdeep, perhaps on the beach to avoid setting fires with the landing rockets. A more southerly location means the crew is more likely to catch tropical diseases for which they don't have inoculations for. And anyway the crew is not returning immediately anyway. All of the crewmembers are unmarried, or if they are married they are married to other crewmembers on the ship and there are a total of 100 people on the ship. Lets say about 80 Marines and 20 Space Force Astronauts, basically scientists, one of whom serves as an ambassador. Basically nothing that is a gun works without some magic to enable it, everything else does however. The 80 Marines find out quickly that they need to learn a new way to fight, they have combat knives which work as daggers, they can use their guns as clubs. I'll have to decide on what other modern equipment they bring. [/QUOTE]
