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
 
more people in an area willing to believe in/support a reality the
 
easier it is for them to establish their stelae zones. While some of
 
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.
