The setting was also explored in some detail in the old GURPS Time Travel (where it first appeared), and some of the parallel worlds are explored in GURPS Alternate Earths 1 & 2 (five "parallel Earths" each - including Reich-5 in the first book), the old GURPS Fantasy (which detailed the world of Yrth, which will be reintroduced in GURPS Banestorm next year), and GURPS Reign of Steel (the world where the AIs have taken over the world and killing off humanity...). The Cabal mentioned in GURPS 4E also has a full writeup in GURPS Cabal (of course) - and it is written by Ken Hite, too, so its brilliance is obvious.But you could use the "Infinite Worlds" setting as it is if you have the new edition of GURPS. Just let the PCs find some sort of planar pathway and explore a few worlds - which are getting increasingly Earthlike, so that the players can gradually get used to "an Earth" being out there without blowing their suspension of disbelief (which is what would happen if they faced humans with guns from a futuristic Earth right away...). Then you can let them encounter the machinations of Homeline, Centrum, the psionic Nazis from Reich-5, the Cabal, or, if you are feeling particularly nasty, an invasion force sent by the Brisbane AI from Steel (which does all sorts of research into "weird science" and might just stumble across other dimensions...)!And just what are the entities Professor William Headley fought in his world's WWII, and which he believes are responsible for the destruction of Taft-7? Well, "that which is not dead, but may eternal lie..."</blockquote>
