[quote]Not necessarily the case if the fantasy world has had centuries of experience with magical warfare and[i][b][u] magitech[/u][/b][/i]. Jets might have a hard time taking down a fortified magocratic city-state that's armed to the teeth. Would definitely apply to most of the world, if the average polity is a bunch of pseudo-fuedal village-dwelling mud-rakers.[/quote]

I hate magitech so damn much. I say sure to the odd heroes with vorpal swords and +5 armor, but I swear to god if I see an army of dudes with full-auto wands of destruction and armors of negate kinetic damage I will kill myself. I don't mean to say resisting would be impossible, but rather difficult and laughable if a nation decided to really flex its muscles and consider this a real, industrial scale, war.


[quote]In the original interest check, I mentioned the possibility of zones where the two worlds are physically merged. Also, I think there was some support for there being more than one contact point.[/quote]

Well, it just goes with the question of who would host if its a single point. Again, unless we go with the multiple point of entry idea, I'd suggest the host to be a weaker nation that can be bullied by others so that it can't just turtle up and say 'Fuck off, we're full' to anyone who wants to go on the other side.

I'm for this too. This would be a little less political, and more unified in terms of sending some sort of international force (like a UN coalition of sorts). My reasoning being that regardless where that portal appears, everyone would more realistically react like "Holy shit guys! The hell is this?" Maybe later down the line when things settling, bases are established, ect, do we see countries trying to pull shit like Japan did in GATE. 

I'm also for having an alternate world for the Modern nations. I'm thinking along the lines of Ace Combat or something, just so we can have a bit more creativity.

I think its just important to make reasons to go there and shed blood: crippling lack of resources, overpopulation, all the scenarios that usually breed war, so this isn't just a meet and greet and everyone agreeing together that they should do the good thing and leave the people on the other side alone.

As for setting, I still vote for 'In the near future' with outlandish events that reshaped the world. That way we have a frame of reference for history and relations.
