Weird Parallels

A “weird parallel” is an alternate
that resembles Homeline in many
ways, but with such strange differ-
ences that it is hard to believe the sim-
ilarities. According to parachronic
physicists, these similarities are the
reason why otherwise-improbable
worlds are sometimes found on acces-
sible quantum levels.
United States of Lizardia: The first
weird parallel discovered by Infinity.
“United States of Lizardia” (USL for
short) is Homeline’s name. Its inhabi-
tants call it Earth, and in some ways,
it’s similar to 21st-century Earth . . .
except that mammals never became
dominant. The natives are bipedal,
dinosaur-descended lizard men. Their
most powerful nation is analogous to
the United States, and occupies North
America. Infinity’s Penetration Service
is covertly studying it.
Orichalcum: The legendary Empire
of Atlantis exists alongside Heroic-Age
Greece and Egypt. An island nation in
the Atlantic, its inhabitants are blessed
by the gods and skilled in many crafts
– including the working of the wonder-
metal orichalcum. This is a TL1-2
alternate Earth in Quantum 6.
