Was it any fun?If you haven't done it, is it the kind of thing you'd enjoy?Gygax told a story reprinted in the old Best of the Dragon Volume 1 about pitting Chainmail troops against Nazi troops, told in fiction style and personifying the units quite a bit. Ever since then, I've thought it'd be fun to use Earth as another setting, but not in a back-and-forth Stargate sense. I can imagine a powerful wizard opening a portal to Earth and using it as his secret lair, where he's surrounded by people who don't believe in magic and who will meet any alien intruders with violence (and more). (This would also be a natural way to introduce player characters from Earth who get drawn back into a campaign fantasy world during the adventure, perhaps when they flee the BBEG through whatever portal the heroes originally entered through.)Any experiences with this?</blockquote>
