Pocket Multiverses

“You know, back home, I’m a god.”
A “pocket multiverse” is a set of
closely coupled dimensions that share
a set of inhabitants and metaphysical
laws. Working magic is likely, but not
certain.
The typical pocket multiverse con-
sists of one baseline physical reality
(which might contain an alternate
Earth) and one or more attached alter-
nate dimensions or interpenetrating
planes populated by magical beings or
spirits. There is often a “void” that sur-
rounds all these dimensions.
“Mobot”: An unmanned, robot-con-
trolled vehicle. These are still experi-
mental; Homeline cannot yet build a
really robust artificial intelligence.
