− | 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
| |

− | Of course, the realms are the way they are because they were written to
| |

| |
− | 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
| |

| |

− | 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.
