Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
Agreed! Just think of how you'd try to deal with the issue.

Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
That could be fixed fairly easily, by attaching the camera to something the rabbits won't be able to knock over.

Onion-1: A world where it seems that every article ever published by the satirical news organization The Onion is objectively true, with the world seeming mostly similar but blown out of proportion mostly in American and world politics. However, it seems it's not Homelines' Onion that is represented as there is no mention of parachronics found as of yet and some obviously highly improbable events do not seem to have any corresponding article in Homelines' version.

Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
Depends on how smart and motivated the rabbits are. You could do this as a sort of Jekyll/Hyde setting, with the rabbit-form personalities aware of what is happening but determined to keep it from their human counterparts. It goes a long way toward explaining what happened to all the other evidence that should have tipped the locals off long ago, and since Infinity agents also know where and how to sabotage their own equipment, it can stay a secret for a while. Admittedly you'll need PCs good at compartmentalizing to actually play out setting up the investigation and then sabotaging it as rabbits.

Impressions-1
If our timeline is a realist work, this one is an impressonist one. That is the best explanation given by those visiting from outside, that they're living inside an impressionist painting. The world is tailored to the essentials of the movement as well, things are constantly moving and visitors experience things at slightly "uncanny" angles as well. The locals see this as normal, and see visitors as weird art-beings. This almost gave away the secret, but thankfully agents managed to hide and the thing later got dismissed as a drug trip by the local in question. |

Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
This is a Munsters / Addams Family world. The local normal isn't and never will be. Travelers strick out like sore thumbs. The locals are sweet but dangerous. The Tech level and social details are mainly early 1960's California.

Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels
The Munsters and The Adam's Family realities are quite different even if they appear nearly identical on the surface, in my opinion.
Adams's often references murderers and violence constantly, while the Munsters often went out of their way to merely exist as oddities. The made for TV movie darker version of The Munsters, titled Mockingbird Lane, from 2012 notwithstanding.

Millionaire
The human population of this world is one million people, always. Every death is concurrent with a birth, and vice versa. These million people are distributed in small tribal communities across central and north Africa. The world was placed on interdict when Infinity realised that they were killing people every time they inserted human agents. (Undead, robots, or nonhuman races do not cause this problem, but are also not common enough in Infinity's ranks to waste figuring this place out.) |
