Actually, I like to do this. It's the people I play with who have issues.
"You can't play one of those as a Glitterboy Pilot!"
"Why not?"
"Because! He's from a low-tech fantasy setting!"
"Yeah, and? This is fuckin' Rifts."
"You can't!"
And so on.
I wanted to do this in Exalted once as well, but the GM wouldn't let me. I totally don't get this, since stuff like divine guiding the course of the world is the bread and butter of this setting. Who says that the Unconquered Sun wouldn't yank someone from outside the world to fix it? Nothing. If he can instill the essence of a demi-god into someone, I am fairly certain he can yoink a modern person into his strange world.
