I’ve seen enough Iseki to know that I need to die and be spotted by the right god/otherworldy-being.
Honestly, we would pretty much end up like Natsuki Subaru, unless you are really strong and/or know how to wield a sword
If I got isekaid I’d go Connecticut Yankee on their ass. Yes, I am insufferable. No, I will not be changing. Your fantasy world will be industrialized. I am the evil wizard. I cast steam engine.
Maybe the first quest is to get to the tavern in the first place.
Comes with a high chance of death.
Everybody wants to go on an adventure until they find out it means being cold and hungry, carrying everything you need on your back, and sleeping outside in the rain for days.
That’s why a lot of people heads to dungeons, no rain in dungeons.
Presumably you’d be sleeping in a tent, so the “sleeping outside in the rain for days” bit isn’t too bad. Carrying everything is a pain though, particularly if it’s a cold season and you’d have to carry a bunch of furs to help maintain body heat while sleeping. Only real way to do it in that case is to have an extra horse for cargo, which of course further complicates logistics
Or you could have a magical pouch that transports items to a storage closet in another dimension, and a magical servitor to set up and take down a luxury tent with all the comforts and essentials.
Unless you have the magic pouch and servitor though, yeah a pack animal is your best bet other than roughing it…

How many days have you spent living in a tent in the rain? because personally I think it’s kind of fun for one night, assuming it’s not a complete downpour, and then the novelty wears off and everything is damp and muddy. And that’s assuming you have a reasonably good tent that you’ve prepped for wet conditions, and you set it up in a spot with good drainage that hasn’t become a puddle. Campfires are a lot less fun in the rain too.

Yeah, cold weather gear, or if you can’t rely on water availability and you have to carry it with you. Being able to keep yourself alive while not getting overburdened with gear is pretty difficult.

It really does. There was this excellent video that was shared on lemmy a few weeks ago:
What Medieval People Ate When Traveling
One of the things he covers (around 9 minutes) is the cost of keeping a horse while traveling (from historic records). Really great description of traveling considerations overall.
All of that becomes tolerable the moment you remove the hairs from your ass crack.
If you know you know.
Slim chance of success?
A million to one chance always succeeds
Then what are we waiting for?
Anyone looking for a down on his luck mercenary with a tragic past and an oddly suspicious aversion to the imperial family?
I guess the modern variant is going to the pub and planning a trek. But that sounds terribly dull
How about meeting at a pub and planning to destroy some Flock cameras?
…
Allegedly.
ah, yes. In principle, absolutely. I would if there were any installed over here
Ah, too bad. But if you don’t have any pubs, you could meet somewhere else instead.
You mean some kind of a star trek?
I mean, over in the UK, we still have taverns everywhere, Pubs!
If everyone was born predestined for a certain career path, with the latent talents and interests that will lead them to and help them excel in that path, my destined profession was “adventurer/questing”
I feel pretty
jipped[ripped off? shorted?] that it’s not a real profession…Go to a bar/pub and talk to people, you’ll get into some thing
The temptation to just post the address of a certain bar and a time is nearly overwhelming
