Well, let’s see, from my active IW (Infinite Weirdos) game:

Not counting iSWAT (the badguys) and Centrum (have heard of, but not encountered them yet).

CTS—Cross Time Security: An insular group who exists in one world. They have access to multiple avenues of dimensional travel. The Elder Things of Cthulhu Mythos (as well as their Shoggoth allies) exist within the world and have aligned themselves with the Humans of this Earth to protect it from multi-dimensional entities. They’re a friendly enough bunch if you find yourself in their world and are well-behaved. They’ll send you through customs then ask your business, but, they would rather not get any of that on them, thank you. They’re willing to hire out-timers to do some recon work, but don’t expect too much from them.

IST—Interdimensional Super Teams: Yeah, that’s as chaotic as it sounds. Super Heroes, operating from their home world (or localized bases) exploring the many worlds. Friendly and enthusiastic, but, not so good at understanding the seriousness of their situation. Always willing to lend a hand, so long as you are on the up-and-up. Tend to do more harm than good on worlds that don’t have supers, but their powers still work. They’re used to being the heroes, and most worlds don’t take too kindly to that.

Cabal of Robot Mages: A mysterious group of magery-wielding robots trying to find the meaning of the many-worlds. Generally not considered friendly, unless you possess some, useful ability that they can study. However, their "friendship" includes the option of turning you into a cyborg operative. Robots—go figure.

The Road Crew: That’s the name the party has given them. They’re a group of non-human entities, currently dismantling a chronobhan on the world just down from CTS. They appear to be using the components they’re stealing to rebuild the road on the next world down: Fractured Earth. They seem to use some advanced form of magic and technology that no one has gotten close enough to examine yet.

The Council of Ricks
Wait, sorry, don’t know how that got on there . . ..

Ehem. There are more, but the party hasn't encountered them yet. Like [Redacted] and [Redacted]. Oh, and I can't forget [Redacted].

[The rest of this post has been removed by [Redacted]. Seriously, Mark, did you think we'd let you tell them about us?]
