Re: Patchwork world
The ancient "historical" era of a Lost Continent inhabited by Blavatskian pre-humans advanced in making psionic crystal doo-dads.

Re: Patchwork world
Is there something keeping expansionist powers from trying to conquer their neighbours? If not, Weird War II Germany is likely to seize a lot of territory quite quickly until they run into Reign of Steel Moscow.

But yeah, settings with a lot of neighbors at wildly different tech levels depend a lot on genre convention to stay stable, whether that's abutting axioms or planets in an interstellar setting.

And I haven't figured out where Interstellar Wars, Transhuman Space and Dungeon Fantasy should go. Maybe the Balkans for Dungeon Fantasy? Maybe fill in the Adriatic Sea for more of it. That would work well for the Greek heroes. I went easy on Patchwork World by giving them one of the least aggressive supercomputers, instead of, say, Manila or Zaire.
