The ballroom is still crowded, and as you glance about looking for Meenah, you see that some of the other beds have begun to lose their canopies. The canopies of other beds seem to be shrinking and retracting into themselves, slowly uncovering the sleeping "gods" beneath them. There are no...

The newly formed races gather about, following your instructions. Your thoughts effortlessly give rise to new forms, and the races multiply. Time distorts again, and you lose track of everyone else in a barrage of questions about the meaning of life, asked by thousands of voices at once. Your...

Clareh addresses her progeny: Rhys has pointed the way. You are to be the bridge between the old world and the new. The three forms shimmer briefly and reform. The two gith take on an elf-like aspect, and the illithid becomes a strange tree-like creature which strongly resembles the two trees...

Andarin's distraction manages to stop Rhys' attack on the tiny mind flayer. Clareh, hardly noticing, seems amused as she answers Jurgen's question. I didn't think of them in particular; I simply wished for copies of whatever was in the tower that called us here. She picks up the three little...

Everyone is present, but your forms are nebulous and radiant. As before, you are without possessions, but Traore, having wished he could grip his spear, finds himself with a spear as the thought enters his mind. The sarphidians have joined the Turtlefolk and Rhys' dragon Rhinnishar, crouched...

The dream begins... As you fall asleep, unpleasent visions cloud your mind. You struggle to wake up, to back away, but it is too late. You are caught in the web of sleep, but something wild coils within you, and you suddenly feel strong enough to continue despite your rising fear. A sphere of...

As he enters the bed, Jurgen's shell also becomes liquid and spills onto the sleep-pad, which silently secretes another sleeping sarphidian. Clareh sits up and whispers to Meenah, who is hesitating on the verge of the curtain. C'mon, don't be shy. We can't let these boys run things alone, can...

(Traore is unable to grab a spear; he instead must grab at the spear-shaped patch on his pajamas that his spear used to be.) The crowd of lingering hopefuls disperses as you cross the veil to the inside of the bed, where Sun and Sea are already dozing. Their heads are resting on a torus-shaped...

I'm back everyone; I'm broke, I've got a monster sunburn, and all my stuff is filled with beach sand. All in all, a fine trip.

Bi flashes Rhys a giddy grin as Clareh engages him in conversation. Bi speaks quietly to Andarin I hope your friend isn't biting off more than he can chew. She looks dangerous. By her wry smile, she clearly means dangerous in the best of ways. Responding to Rhys' question, Clareh moves...

Clareh playfully pulls her hand away with a conspiratorial sidelong glance, and then nods at the cat, which she has placed at her feet. Well Rhys, my familar had other places to be, and I trust her instincts. Cats aren't shackled by thoughts.

Thanks for pointing that out, 'Nock; Bi's been holding out on you guys... I'm going to be unavailable from March 18th thru the 27th; my girlfriend and I are heading someplace warm for spring break. I'll try to put something special together for you all on the bus there and back.

Bi: Oh, sorry Andarin, I forgot to mention; those shells you and Jurgen carry are alive, with dreams of their own as long as you carry them. She also explains to Jurgen that you're free to sample dreamworlds from here without changing them; just brush a hand against the veil. Rhys gets a...

Bi (dividing her attention between Jurden and Rhys) : I'm told that mostly depends on your efforts, but I'm not sure what the effect of bringing a shell into another world will be. Maybe nothing. Right now, these worlds are just dreams; nothing is real yet. Think of it more like a game; the...

Bi bows courteously, Thank you Rhys. I gladly accept your offer. She turns to the others who are going, All that remains is for us to cross the veil and drop off to sleep; a new world awaits us in Rhys' dreams. A large group has gathered to ask Rhys for entrance to his world, but the general...

Bi is focused on Rhys at the moment. It's yours if you want it, cutter. Big responsability, but an opportunity as well. Those tortles that followed you in here are in there now; they will be able to tell you more than I can. They, like that dragon, came out of you; Neth just put flesh around...

The Turtles and the dragon follow Meenah and the others out onto the ballroom floor, where flowing crowds of pajama-wearing bloods move like ocean currents around the islands of the shrouded canopy beds. Bi gathers you at the base of the stairs and then sets off purposefully through the crowd...

Bi bounds down the stairs as she sees you following her, stopping at the bottom to wave you down and clear a path for you. Make way berks... Newly arrived shell carriers coming through.

Here are short summaries of each world, including what I particularly like about each. Please reply with more details and other literature suggestions if they come to mind. Anne McCaffery's PernThe world is wild and unsettled an dcircled by a red mon that drops mysterious devouring "thread."...

I'm looking for players for a game in which the protagonists of the story are child geniuses who design mecha. I will create the child characters and assign them to you; players will only design the mecha. I'm looking for mecha more like those in Cowboy Bebop / Outlaw Star and less like those...
