What's the Survival guide?

[TamerVirus]

Oh, is this the Isekai thread???

[EuchreJack]

Have Sex
More realistically, find out what is going on.  Look, listen, learn.

[Telgin]

Realistically you'd probably stop existing in any recognizable form.  It depends on what you mean by plane of existence.

Even a tiny difference in the laws of physics would destroy the structure of your body.  But, I guess if we're going down that path, you have to define what it even means to teleport something like an electron to a universe that has no concept of electrons.  It's like trying to add a number and a color and asking what the answer is, except worse.

If you just mean something like a typical D&D or fantasy plane of existence, you'd probably be dead in short order.  Might as well scream to get it over with quickly by attracting local fauna if the plane itself doesn't kill you.

[EuchreJack]

Going down that rabbit hole, you should definitely scream "I'm a Planeswalker, bitches!"

[Eric Blank]

What kind of survival guide you'd need would depend entirely on what kind of planeswalking you're doing. Like, if it's another plane like our universe, effectively a clone of earth maybe with different lifeforms instead of what were familiar with, normal survival rules would apply, but you'll need to be able to test things you intend to eat. If it's a fantasy world, normal survival rules would still apply, you'd just want to watch out for goblins and dire wolves.

But if it's nothing like our world, or if it is but the atmosphere is like 5% more or less oxygen content or CO2 levels are higher, or theres a lack of water in the atmosphere, or the soil is full of arsenic, you're absolutely going to die. Possibly quickly but also possibly slowly and painfully.

Are you going to be bringing a space suit and ship with you or something?

[Egan_BW]

Depends on the situation. If you're not dead yet, try to find a way to feed yourself, assuming that energy exists in this world. You may also have to consider recycling your exhalations, urine, and poop if compatible matter is not available. IE, imagine that you ended up in a fantasy world where matter is not made from particles, but areas of "stuff", that stuff may not be compatible with your body.

If you can see this teleportation coming to help with survival odds, I guess go to a big university and ask for a space suit, saying that you'll bring back data on another world if you make it back. Though, is this assuming you can bring along stuff on your person? How do we define "on-person", maybe we just take along a bubble of matter surrounding us?

[Quarque]

Activate steampunk goggles.
Set phaser to stun.
Wear a t-shirt with the text "I come in peace".

[King Zultan]

Yell I come in peace while you run around murdering the locals.

[Scoops Novel]

Ok, so it basically comes down to finding the locals and going from there.

You can't reasonably expect a controlled audience. Odds are, you end up with a pack of yokels in the middle of nowhere?

And reasonably you're paraded to the nearest university.

Where your destiny is out of your hands... okay, for our purposes let's say you're dealing with your fellow humans. Just living in a world with different rules.

You basically find the safest way to learn the rules no?

And hide your own shit.

[Egan_BW]

Assuming there are locals at all is a large leap! If that's part of the hypothetical perhaps it's the sort of thing you should have stated in the OP!

[Scoops Novel]

I think you need several different "style guides". One for "anything", another for d&d style planes, another for "human world."

[EuchreJack]

One in braille, for planes without sight.

[brewer bob]

Find the nearest pub (or equivalent), get a beer (or equivalent) and drink until you forget you're on a different plane.

After that, everything will be fine.

[King Zultan]

Talk about stuff to everything as you don't know what can and can't talk.
