Pretty unique, not something I'd have thought of.
D&D General Adventures into the multiverse
I think they meant was your work/brainstorming online anywhere, so they could look at and appreciate it.

Haha no, it currently exists as notes on my phone that I quickly wrote so I wouldn't forget.

Isn't it great how modern D&D can be used as a kind of Rifts-like, generic hodgepodge multiverse roleplaying game?

Modern? Have you read about Gygax's games?

It's been like that for almost 20 years now, thanks to the d20 system.
Once 3rd edition came out, and only a month after the release of the 3e Monster Manual we had the first d20 Star Wars RPG. The release of d20 Modern in fall of 2002 really made it wide open (plus the countless third party d20 books that this site used to focus on).
Well, it goes back even further than that, but since at least then we've had a pretty strong framework for D&D crossovers with other genres.

Ha! That's rightModern? Have you read about Gygax's games?
But it's not quite the same, is it? Adding a raygun here and there is one thing, but being able to tell plane-hopping tales, without too much hassle, is quite different.

Right, but I was not talking about Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.
The PCs in Gygax's campaign went to Barsoom, the Moon, and the Alice in Wonderland plane. There was a gunfighter as a PC in his Greyhawk game. Remember the Gamma World and Boot Hill conversions in the Dungeon Master's Guide? One of the first Dragon/Strategic Review articles was an adventure having the PCs show up amidst a Nazi operation in WWII (I do not recall if that was a Gygax scenario though). The last monster entries in White Box 0e is for robots and androids.

Pretty much all of the homebrew classes mentioned in the planehopping post have, or at least could have, been made pre-3e, I know I saw a lot of jedi classes back when I played 2e (probably made some myself). Really not that much difference between the systems when making classes, mechanics might differ but really it's just skills and powers mixed and matched to make the class.
