Have you ever wondered what would happen if the boundaries between our world and the fantastical suddenly disappeared? Not because of some inter-dimensional invasion, but because the veil that kept us from seeing what was always there simply lifted away?

In this mind-bending episode of Realm Jumpers, Andrew and Jordan explore an existence where humans wake up to discover that magic, elves, dragons, and all manner of fantasy creatures have always existed alongside us—we just couldn't perceive them until now. The scenarios they craft are equal parts hilarious and terrifying, from Florida Man hunting dragons to world governments scrambling to exploit new magical resources.

The hosts dive deep into the societal implications of such a revelation. Would our weapons even work against magical beings? Would you abandon your day job to join an adventurer's guild? And who would adapt fastest to this new reality—zombie apocolypse preppers, governments, or everyday people? Perhaps most provocatively, they ask whether you'd step through a mysterious portal with no guarantee of return, especially if you had family to consider.

What makes this episode particularly engaging is how it uses fantasy to explore very human reactions to paradigm shifts. The conversation weaves between genuine philosophical questions about how we'd react to such a world and lighter moments speculating about treasure hunting, magical powers, and whether Deku from My Hero Academia would make the best survival guide author in this new reality.

Whether you're a fantasy enthusiast, worldbuilding fan, or simply curious about how humanity might handle a complete reshaping of reality, this episode offers thought-provoking scenarios that will have you questioning what you'd do if you woke up tomorrow to find an elf walking their dire wolf past your driveway. What would your first move be?
