D&D (2024) So have your characters ever met an Earthling? getting Modern-day Earth in your fantasy...

I was really disappointed my old Reign of Winter adventure path campaign ended in a TPK before I got to run module 5 "Rasputin Must Die" where you go to earth Russia to take on Baba Yaga's wayward son along with his magic tanks and living mustard gas and such.

I think there was an old 1e Dragon Magazine article where you did a Dragonlance Test of High Sorcery and it took you to New York. I seem to recall doing that one and having no magic in New York as an MU.

Dragon 100 had an adventure where you traveled to modern London to recover the mace(?) of St. Cuthbert. A friend had that issue but we never got to running it.

yeah I remember the London one, it was kinda fun. The party gates in to an island on the Thames, run with some street urchins dodging truant officers and police, then have to rob the National Museum!

I recently played in a campaign where the BBEG was a dimension-hopping mad scientist from Massachusetts. We ended up neutralizing the device she used to travel between worlds, then cast banishment to get rid of her for good.

Tell me the DM went all in on the accent.

In D&D but Pathfinder 1st edition has two adventure paths which have you visit Earth. One takes you to 1918 Russia and the other to 1890's Paris.

Personally I like to keep Earth out of my cosmology. The closest I came was a 3.X setting that never got used, using Atlantis as the setting and explained why Earth cultures have legends of dragons, centaurs, medusa..etc.

and the other to 1890's Paris.

Which one was this?

Strange Aeons, the Lovecraftian adventure path.

We did, but they did not speak common.

Suggesting that Earthlings don't have any connection to Sigil?
