I can't speak for matrix_walker, but even if I hadn't it'd be so much of a campaign shift that I wouldn't believe it personally. Though Julian would play along with it |

Though maybe I could dangle an alternate way out and introduce some doubt... But yeah, Teresa blew Yrth and Coventry wide open.

1) He's injured/sick and remains so when he reawakens elsewhere 2) He doesn't experience near death before his next dream elsewhere. The dream to Riask being deemed caused by death is Julian making the reasonable assumption that something happened while he was asleep. If Julian's sleeping in a safe bed in a Concordance facility when he jumps, he might drop the idea Quote:
Lots of tricks, though some may feel cheap. |

Peter thinks this guy probably doesn't know what he's talking about and doesn't know about jumpers and conveyors.
If he meets up with the Conveyor occupants who understand such things better, he would be more likely to be concerned. |

Maybe their game worlds are actually the same, or have the same year and Peter is in his 20's by Julian's time-frame! |

Yeah, I know that. I picked 2021 because that's when you resumed after the most recent dead period. The idea is, "Things that happened before 2021 don't necessarily need to be canon." Obviously, everything that happened to Peter is canon. But things that didn't happen to Peter don't need to be canon. i.e. Yrth is escapable by dreamers, specific worlds existing, Infinity having some awareness of Vasic magic, Elves and Lizards making peace, the exact specifics of Mars and Yaka, etc. Like, at some point, Teresa or Graham or Jordan or whomever might be alluded to, even some of their major changes, but that doesn't mean everything that ever happened to them is also true.

Eh, there's no guarantee every dreamer's talent and manifestation is the same, or that any version of the same worlds are in fact the same worlds.
Every repeat trip Peter has made to Thuroma could be another one so similar that it was simply not noticeable that it is not the same one, and the Peter they talked to last time was not the same Peter who came this time. I don't think Eric needs to consider any thread cannon for the others... even in a crossover, we may be free to interpret things a little differently, and we may be right! Our characters could both meet NPC's so similar to our PCs that we THINK our PCs have met, but really each is meeting a close parallel. Kinda spoils the idea by sharing it, but a crossover where it plays out and at the end Eric sent us back to our original thread will messages that indicate the other died and the PC survived, only to have another crossover because the guest star in each thread was just a parallel. :) |

3417-02-16: Julian arrives, goes to the hospital, and gets collected by Royal's people. Worldbuilding! 3417-02-17: Julian has first dream about and later first encounter with Paulis Tatim. Plans are made to capture the Starpus. 3417-02-18: Starpus kidnapping. 3417-02-19: The longest day. Seekers, confusing Reena, chase with Tatim, betrayal, recovery, and a new deal via Ypress. 3417-02-20: A starship ride to Koru. 3417-02-21: I guess that's the day after the exercise? And in terms of keeping time: Bumundo, Riask: 2023-01-28 through 2023-02-17 Panogos: 2023-02-18 through 2023-02-21 Koru: 2023-02-22 (and counting) Last edited by TGLS; 05-01-2024 at 07:59 PM. |

Yeah, it looks like the 21st is the day of TK analysis.
