[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 1726753, member: 14041"] OK, how about a different approach, with a nod to Warren Ellis in Planetary: The universe as the PCs know it is actually a giant calculating engine, a computer made up of alternate realites, attempting to create "the perfect world." Of course once that world is created the multiverse will collapse into a single universe, obliterating all those alternae people and places. Somewhere, on one of those worlds, someone has figured this out, figured out the "code" for the system, and has introduced a virus bent on locking the system, keeping all the worlds going forever. A secondary effect is "bleedthrough" as the system attempts to fight the virus. At first its just people type programs, soon its going to be large chunks of reality. Once the PCs learn this, however they do, they have to make a decision: whose side are we on? Do they work to repair the damage? Do they help the virus-makers, and save all those worlds? Are do they side with the "Maker" and try and stop the virus and allow thier respective worlds to live out their intended course? [/QUOTE]
