--Edmiao 07:41, 25 April 2008 (MST) This sounds really intresting, didn't get a chance to read it until now. I get sort of the broad strokes you paint for the different realms. This concept strongly reminds me of Neil Gaiman's Sandman, which I just finished reading (you can get them from the library). If you were inclined, you might read those for further inspiration. would you set the real world aspect in modern times, past or future?
GABE: What system would it use?
JASON: It would probably use the 'Gabe's Mom' system, wherein if you avoid getting a whole host of nasty diseases, you have won.
Gabe: Then... you've all already lost.
