Nigger, it's 1935 in-universe. I make a fucking bank for the rest of my life. I don't even need meta knowledge, I just get the fuck out to any place outside Europe, North Africa and Asia.

Depends on the "spawn" location. It's your standard fantasy fare. In most civilised human or dwarven places I could get by with menial labour. Since I know some stuff about the way how magic works, geography, the structure of the multiverse and about several eldritch and "divine" beings, that are not in universe knowledge, I could even make a pretty penny in the right circumstances. Plus I have extensive knowledge of several important people, their secrets and goals, which I could leverage, if I succeeded my social "checks".
However since it's your standard fantasy fare there are also enough ways to instantly get unalived or worse. There are plenty of wild beings and man eaters, races that harbor ill intent towards all humans, eldritch beings that want to do unorthodox things to human souls, local conflicts, xenophobic cultures, highwaymen and just less hospitable places. And even if you find a nice place to call your home you could simply get unlucky to find that one ogre in a hundred mile radius on your way to get some fire wood.

I could go through my entire life without any issue and meta knowledge could help me avoid a lot of shit.

Fuck that.

Now we're talking. Depending in where I'd spawn it could be pretty comfy but unlike the other two I'd actually want to do stuff players usually do instead of living a quiet life.

retard in the sense that he doesn't suck a gay nigger dick daily.

Retard in sense of running/playing games in a setting he dislikes.
But then again, that's being very generous assumption anon plays at all, rather than throwing a tantrum

That sounds like a skill issue to me, if you grew up in the modern pozzed west you should already be able to infiltrate any kind of woke community without issue, as a matter of basic survival.

How do you maintain a job otherwise?

NTA but thanks God my job isn't that woke, at least not on american levels.

>>
>>97084296
How would you do that? Does being a historian actually clue you in to enough stuff to make good and immediately profitable financial investments?
>>
>>97084086
Yes, easily. I always write hidden caches of vast wealth and immortality gene-tech/god-magic/whatever into my settings just in case I'm ever isekai'd, I can handily become the most powerful being in that universe.
>>
>>97089933
Nta, but do you have any idea how lax were various financial security agencies back then? And the amount of blatant cons that were perfectly legal until the 70s or so?
Besides, just knowing various events ahead gives advantage. It's not like you are going to magically stop Italians from invading Ethiopia on 3rd October 1935 as a random bloke, but you can make money out of knowing this as a random bloke. As a random bloke you also know there is going to be Second New Deal (July-August that year and then especially PUHCA in October) and you can't prevent or alter it, but you can profit from it. And this is the sort of profit that turns literal pocket change into making bank.
Want to stir some shit up? Inform security of Louisiana's capitol on September 8 that year that one Carl Weiss looks suspicious and you saw him carrying a gun into the building. You now potentially also gained a pretty powerful ally.
This is also the year when nylons and sulfonamides became a thing. And you know this ahead. And if you are fast enough, you can outrun the patent for torque wrench (since it's something you can write up in an hour)
>>
>>97091011
Oh, and remember that movie with Russell Crowe playing a boxer? That's also 1935. 13th of June, you have Braddock-Baer fight, It's even canon in the verse of the game, so...
>>
>Anima
I try to settle into some cute little country side somewhere, then my retarded high natura either means I get deleto'd by some wuxia retard or summon a fuckton of demons to force me to go an an adventure.

>>97091039
Or you can remember than Nurembergen Laws came into power that year and simply fleece Jews that are running away
Then even get some shitty award for it after the war, pretending you were saving lives and not just taking a fuckload of money.

>Group 1, PF game(s) 1
I have no useful skills, but the game is very anime cleché inspired. If I can make it to a major city with the bunny run adventuring guild I should be fine. Non-zero chance I randomly get raped and/or vored by a monstergirl or shrunk by a loli witch and kept as a pet and/or snack even if I end up there though
That said, isekai'd people are a thing in this universe and it tends to come with the benefit of complete and total immortality of body, mind, and soul, so this might be the best world for me to be in

>Group 1, PF game(s) 2
I have no useful skills, but would bring the human population of the continent up to 2 and might be able to make a living off of that if I can make it to the troll city-states without being eaten my a monster that has a 50-50 chance of also being a girl

>Group 1, DBU game
Depends on where I end up, if in the Arris district, I should be fine, have to live with 80s level tech, but fine
Genos district.... depends on how well I'm able to navigate the cyberpunkish environment. On the upside, I might be able to get turned into a Dragonball android, on the downside, I might end up a shitty android

>Group 2, Godbound game(s)
Depends, I end up in the Bright Republic during the time of the first game? I should be fine, better than fine, as I now have a god devoted to making a nice, shiny cyber-utopia and may or may not be able to get help for the whole "I've been isekai'd" issue
I end up in the Bright Republic during the time of the second/current game? Well said god allowed a dragon goddess of madness, intoxications, and dragons to do a Metis to him just to get a vacation and now the Republic is a weird mix of a bright, shiny cyber-utopia and Alice's Won/d/erlan/d/
I end up in Ancalia? I'm fucked, warp incursion is now

>Group 2, LotFP game
I have no useful skills, am probably fucked

>Group 3, Exalted game
See Group 1 PF game sans the bit about the adventuring guild and being isekai'd, I am probably fucked

Current game is a Scion 1e one, so it's probably pretty easy as long as you don't poke around too much in already dangerous places.

Pretty easily if I stick to the diurnal cities. Not much more chance of being mugged and shanked than in real life, though it might be an ogre instead of a- well, you know.

That's pretty woke, it's just not the mainstream flavor. But I would certainly take it over the alternative.
