Description
Since the hinting about Numeria way back in 2008, I've wanted to run a game involving crashed sci-fi PCs on a fantasy planet. Now it looks like I might get a chance to do it.I spent a little spare time whipping up this map, a blown-up section of part of the Golarion map picked almost at random. The rivers are not to scale, but otherwise I think it's a pretty decent map for an hours' work.

you can do what I did back in the day. I used Expedition to the Barrier Peaks as a way to introduce Spelljammer to my group and it worked well. We also dimensioned/time traveled in several games as well and I had a Kender with a .38 Cal Revolver and 1 full box of ammo. I also had a wizard from Post Nuked L.A. who traveled back in time and threw space to the world of Grayhawk. There are so many possibilities as to how and what you can do with dipping into different game types. We ran a campaign with marvel supper-humans in D&D and I played a character more based off a video game character which was the base design behind my first Warrior Monk...vikking1.deviantart.com/journa⦠...lol

We're thinking on doing an Expedition to the Barrier Peaks mini-game sometime. Trying to decide whether to update it to Pathfinder, stumble our way through an old-school OD&D character generation process, or do something completely different with it (Mouseguard has been tossed around as a potential system).
Also, I played in a DD Tournament many years ago, back in the 2E days. In the adventure, it turns out that the Forgotten Realms are a post-apocalyptic United States, and you have to stop Saddam Hussein from stealing the Declaration of Independence. There's a big section in the subterranean ruins of Chicago, and I think part of the Silver Marches got totally nuked.
It was... weird.

I recently Pathfinder-ized itΒ (or mostly stole from the 3.5 version), mashed it with XCOM, and served it up to my players as a side-trek between Chapter Two and Chapter Three of Rise of the Runelords.

Nope, though I did have family there once. I was born in Palo Alto, California, but have lived in Boise, Idaho for the lion's share of my life. It was a tournament module, though, so they could be from the same tournament series.Β
The same insane tournament series.

Back in the heyday. There was a D&D module where Fantasy pc's find a crashed Starship.
The circle will be complete.

Once, it was an expedition to the Barrier Peaks. Now it is an expedition from those Peaks to all other realms.
Boxing-bots not included.

'Crashed Sci-Fi PCs on a fantasy planet'? That sounds ike it''d make for a very inventive story, one that I'd love to see. Kind of like 'John Carter of Mars' in reverse.

Totally. Especially in the extant history, where humanity is just barely crawling back out of the caves from Earthfall, and dwarves and orcs make up a substantial part of the population.
