| Willing converts (from James Knevitt)
| | *[[Maps of Stellae Locations]] |
| Wouldn't there be a not-so-small number of people who would be willing
| | *[[Willing Converts]] |
| converts to a new reality? For example, I imagine a lot of Ren Faire types
| |
| would jump at the chance to be an Aysle convert -- you get to use magic,
| |
| live and work with 'fantasy' races, etc. Likewise for Cyberpapacy -- if
| |
| you're a big cyberpunk fan and are willing to put up with the oppressive
| |
| nature of the Church (or want to go and be some kind of street tough), then
| |
| it would be a fine place to go. What about Nile Empire? It's the 1930s, with
| |
| exotic Egyptian magic and weird science. It's basically like living in the
| |
| world of Indiana Jones or The Mummy. So on, so forth.
| |
| | |
| Of course, the realms are the way they are because they were written to
| |
| mirror common tropes and genres that people find exciting and entertaining.
| |
| Wouldn't a certain number of Core Earth inhabitants find the idea of living
| |
| in some of these realities (particularly AY, CP and NE) equally exciting and
| |
| entertaining?
| |
| | |
| Sure, that's where some of the converts came from. There's even a
| |
| character out of the Character Collection who is a
| |
| roleplayer-turned-barbarian. I could see some of the conversions being
| |
| "voluntary", but I think that converting to a "friendly" reality is
| |
| quite likely to create a Possibility-rated individual.

| There would be, in fact the High Lords encourage it to happen; the

| |
| the HLs go for the blunt approach (ie, invading armies) others use
| |
| advance agents to encourage natives to viewpoints suitable towards
| |
| supporting the invading reality, going after people with pre-
| |
| conceived notions already favorable towards the invading reality
| |
| would be an obvious tactic.
