Was it Dragon #100 that had the adventure that sent the PCs to London to collect a magic blade?Computers aren't real good for a wizard, as they can't be used as a spellbook, per the regular spellbook rules. Take back pre-modern printing press though; maybe you can figure out how to make it work for spellbooks. At least speed things up (one spell a day? Ugh) and make it easier (no more hand-writing everything! Faster to make backup spellbooks -- just print off another copy!).Guns are nice, but in D&D, they generally aren't significantly better than regular weapons. Plus, they won't be magical. High explosives might be more useful, though, since even magic weapons don't have much to rival an RPG (outside of wands & the like -- but anyone can use an RPG).Medicine would be awesome -- except that clerics can do it better with a 3rd level spell. So bring back a limited supply of medicine? Meh.What I'd suggest -- a bunch of "how to" books, and maybe a few engineers or craftsmen to go with 'em. Modern sewers, urban planning, indoor plumbing, hygiene guidelines (assuming Fantasy World's diseases are caused by the same causes as Earth's diseases), and stuff like that. More modern accounting and business practices. Want to get really rich? Invent the stock market.Modern agricultural information and some associated technologies (windmills, irrigation techniques, etc.) might be handy, too -- probably want to go organic or maybe pre-modern, so you don't need all the pesticides. OTOH, spells can probably substitute for safer pesticides. Grab a few dozen Peace Corps manuals and/or "volunteers".Heck, take back modern political systems. Bring home the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Federalist Papers, & the like, and trade in those despotic kings for a little modern representative democracy.Oh, any bards would have to take back guitars and electric guitars. Import rock & roll!</blockquote>
