[QUOTE="Tristissima, post: 7514306, member: 6162"] Ooh! Maztica has some . . . issues as a created setting (just once I would like to see a Mesoamerican setting in an RPG that doesn't assume they must be evil, because human sacrifice, without bothering to understand what nextlaoaliztli actually [U]meant[/U], but I digress), but I can only imagine how Mexico and the Chicanx movement in the US might react to extant Nahua-like and Maya-like cultures being found ~ with magic, no less! I love the image that summons up in my brain ~ Earthers swaggering into a situation being all like "Look at my fancy iPhone" and "This is my boomstick" and "Oooooh, look ~ LIGHTERS", and Torillings being all like, "Booooooring. When do we get to talk to this Yahweh person you keep yabbering on about? Seriously, did you like piss him off or something? Cuz our gods answer our questions." Speaking of religion, how might it be affected by Terra-Toril interactions? Heathenry, Finnish polytheism, Kemeticism, and my beloved Sumerian devotion (I'm a worshiper of Ninshubur) would prolly all get a boost up, considering qweens like Tyr, Mielikki, Loviatar, the Mulhorandi pantheon, and the Untherese pantheon all have active cultures worshiping them and numerous priests, priestesses, and priestixes that can literally call them up and say, "Hey, qween! Spill the tea!" But what of Islam? How would it interface with the Law of the Loregiver and the Enlightened Gods (the Torilese "equivalent" ~ it's not really equivalent). Come to think of it, it's at least demi-canon that Elminster has, in fact, been here before. And as I recall, that's popped in a number of places at a number of different levels of canonicity. And we've gone there before, too ~ the Mulhorandi and Untherese are literally Egyptians and Sumerians kidnapped into slavery by the Imaskari. Sure you can ~ you might have indigestion, though. In fact, the roughest part of sending a ship into Torilspace would likely be navigating that border at 800,000 km. It'll be like when a plane crosses from a cold front into a hot front, only instead of rain and wind, it'll be the laws of physics raggedly throwing the ship around. Who's to say what the knock-on effects down the causal chain will be of that kind of chaos? Different gravitational constants interacting might very well end up pulling orbits in weird ways. Which I guess you might have considered, since you said "in the same way" in your post >.< D'oh! [/QUOTE]
