You can't falsify it, but it remains a possibility that you can't disprove either. So if a planet appears in the Solar System and it is populated by humans among other races, I would think the explanation of "we're living in a simulation," would be the most likely explanation, a lesser likely...

Someone who can make planets appear out of nowhere is not going to be worried about Earthborn diseases. Anyway the natives of Toril are more likely to give the spaceship crew diseases than the other way around, since the crew won't be returning to Earth, the chances of it spreading to Earth's...

Sounds like a great idea for random terrain. We have random dungeons, and the first edition of D&D had random terrain generation tables, but this is better.

Actually there is some uncleared area on the southern end of this map. The ship could land near the banks of that river. This is the ship that would have to land, I think that at half a football field high, it would be hard to hide even in the forest, the trees are not that high! Okay, so...

Perhaps landing right outside the population center wouldn't be wise, might panic the population that is not used to seeing large flying objects. I do think Waterdeep has seen a few dragons in its time however, there is a resident Gold Dragon within the walls of Waterdeep after all. The Earth...

I think gods aren't the same as laws of nature. The god in question is Gond the wonder bringer, he is the god of technology. he can make technology work or not work. The problem is if the spaceship crosses the boundary at 800,000 miles and all high technology ceases to function then everybody...

And anything capable of sending people to Mars, which the BFR is designed to do, could also send people to Toril. And getting off of Toril isn't as hard as you might think, though the US Government wouldn't plan for it, if you attach a Spelljamming Helm to the BFR spaceship, and get a magic...

I don't know it to be the case that magic would foil technology, that hasn't been established yet. The Marines don't have a lot of heavy equipment, they did bring rifles and ammo, and they hope not to have to use it, especially upon their first contact with the natives. I think the...

NASA never needed to send an armed expedition anywhere, because it Astronauts were never expecting to encounter any natives, here would be different. The soldiers are all volunteers of course, and also colonists. But the Space Force didn't want to send people who would end up in a dungeon or on...

Toril is surrounded by Wildspace, that means the Earth ship will suddenly develop a gravity plane when it crosses over, the transition zone blocks cosmic rays and some lethal rays from the Sun, but visible light, infrared and lower wavelengths pass through easily, including radio and microwaves...

Some laws of physics are shared, specifically that of gravity and light, most chemical reactions work, except for those that propel bullets from guns. Much of the other technology is for communication and for gathering and storing information. Computers work fine. The ship can also take off...

There is another orbit that the ship can use, this one has a period of 18 months and will result in the ship returning to the same point in Earth's orbit but with Toril there instead, this is very similar to a transfer orbit to Mars, which the ship is designed to do anyway. A transfer orbit to...

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...

Think of it as a piece of their Universe where they physical laws and magic apply, and also they maintain their planar connections and contacts with their deities. Basically a piece of their universe centered on Toril was cut, and pasted into our Solar System. Elminster has been known to travel...

You basically need an orbit with half the period of Earth's orbit, there is a tool for that, the Planet Orbit calculator http://www.calctool.org/CALC/phys/astronomy/planet_orbit Earth's orbit and year is 365.24 days long, half of that is 182.62 days. If you have an orbit with an average radius...

Yep, 2025 is the launch date, the SpaceX BFR is the spaceship, and the US Space Force provides the "muscle" for the landing party, of course they do not anticipate magic. It could land here. There would be a population to sign a trade agreement with and to help get the spaceship ready for a...

Lets assume it does, no reason to believe it doesn't. Now lets talk about the vehicle that will get Earth people there, its called the BFR This is the BFR rocket, it consists of two stages, and it could transport 100 people to Mars. Both of these stages are fully reusable. It launches the upper...

The continent is a supercontinent like Pangea on Earth. also it appears that Toril has a smaller percentage of water coverage than Earth because of this supercontinent Faerun.

Obviously its a role playing game set up. The only way magic exists is if we're living in a computer simulation with magic programmed in, like the movie Ready Player One or the Matrix. For all we know, this could be a computer simulation, if it was done right, it would be impossible to tell from...

SpaceX might go there, they are a private company not a government agency, they can launch their own spaceships, also a planet suddenly appearing out of nowhere would imply an extraterrestrial civilization, they won't be thinking about magic but about some superadvanced technology and first...
