I would make my way to the nearest monastery, church or school, employ my knowledge of Latin and Greek to make a descent living tutoring. Then hit up the nearest whore house for ale and bangs, next get a damn rapier, pay for some lessons from a fighting master because my fencing is rusty as Hell. Alphas had to know sword play then. Wench my way through Scotland, marry an English redhead, because they love me, have 12 kids, and eventually die.
And die laughing at my fellows who assumed their business or engineering backgrounds mean shit in a pre Industrial society.

I'm not sure having pennies would help me out to much in the 1500s anyways.

Lets be real here, back in those days it would still have remnants of diseases like the plague and cholera around. Do you really think that your immune system can handle the amount of challenges back then? Look at a lot of guys that go to third world countries now and get sick, it was called the dark ages for a reason.

I would be a beloved poet, scholar, and manufacturer of firearms. My poetry would consist of KRS One, and Eric B. and Rakim's greatest hits.

I'd have to leave England somehow, and learn Dutch, and then i'd get into the Tulips game, and get out early.
Richest "Moor" in all of Christendom. From there, i'd bank roll inventions. (keep in mind that hundreds of people come up with the same basic idea, only a handful succeed)
Then i'd be on some Django shit.

I'll sit in Greece soaking up the sun while Europe showers me with wine and whooty's. And teaching the Turks how to make me a damn dirty kebab. Let one bitch ass king not pay his dues and I'll roll through his kingdom on a Clydesdale and leave no man alive. I'll make Vlad the Impaler my tax collector.

You don't have enough rep points to rate such an intricate breakdown. That's for senior level members.
edit- All these Renaissance nudes of whootys' used to annoy me. But I'm all for it now, and believe that was the common body type back then. This is probably why The Return of Kings has all big booty actresses on the episodes getting nekkid in the bath. It can't be coincidence. I'd be a very happy emperor as long as the faces weren't busted. I get these girls down to Greece where they can tan up a bit and jump in the ocean to clean off the stank. England was a fucking cesspool back then. Bathing wasn't common and everyone died in the winter. There is a method to my madness.

Just like I have to deduct at least half of your "notches" on account of them being hookers or pure imagination, we have to deduct 1/3rd of your rep points on account of them being awarded based soley on trollery.

As someone said before, you aren't going to understand the English spoke at that time. There's a better chance a German would understand them than a modern English speaker.

I would get 7/4th's the pussy in the 1500's and 3x more rep points from the commoners. You can be my sidekick though. You only need to memorize on line and wear a cloak.

That movie is the perfect example of proper game. I'll try to do a writeup for your blog. Such a good movie to grow up to.
