And how do you intend to do that?

Here's two questions:

.

Most certainly. I myself have time traveled. All it requires is 20 or more alcoholic beverages. I've been standing there talking to someone at a party with a drink in my hand , blinked and all of a sudden I was in a different room, talking to a different person and had a different drink in my hand; clear evidence of time travel.

Probably something stupid out of good intentions.

I'd jump in the Time Machine to the late '60's in either MN or WI and join the Castles 'n' Crusades Society.

We were talking about time travel yesterday, and how shitty it would be to go down in history as the guy who invented it.

Some guy in the future would think, "Hey, I could be the one to invent it!"
Then he'd go back in time, kill you, and take all the credit.

Then some other guy in the future would do the same to him.

And the cycle would repeat endlessly.

1. I'd go back with high tech gear (including a ton of claymore mines), top end ballistic armor, and modern high power firearms and knock off some major banks and reap a big heap of cash.

2. I'd take my new money and make some very wise investments.

3. Let #2 simmer while I .....

4. ... go back in time and march with Alexander The Great and his Greek/Macedonians as we kicked the shit out of the known world.

5. Come back to probably the early 1980s, have a fortune in the bank, buy a beach house in Florida, play tons of AD&D, and hang a few ultra rare/high value collectibles of Alexander's era on my wall, find a hot woman and live the life. .. and also continue to make very wise investments.

as a side note I might get an apartment in Lake Geneva right about the time this group of gamers were stumbling on to a new type of game.....

You could get in at TSR early and make sure they down spiral downhill later on.

Really? I'd fuck her in her vagina, but that's just me.

I'd go back and convince the Romans that steam engines were more than just amusing toys. I'd prevent the burning of the library at Alexandria. I'd convince Physicians that Galen's works needed to be pursued beyond his first text on surgeries.

Then when I got back to a Roman-ruled overpopulated solar empire with it's eyes on the Vega star system...
