Some peoples superhero
settings would get fucked up by having a bunch of Pseudo-Medieval weirdoes
wandering through it. I doubt it would make much difference to mine though.
There are broken dimension gates everywhere so its not like you even need an
excuse.
Otherpool is now a
Flailsnails game.
If I ever work out how
Traveller works it can be Starslugs as well. Pretty much anything can exist
there for a while so you could all hang out if you wanted.
These are some
numbers attached to the values below, you will need these to calculate your
Health and Karma.

Your Health is
your Fighting, Agility, Strength and Endurance together.
Your Karma is
your Reason, Intuition and Psyche
together.
Your Popularity
is your Level x 5
Your Resources
are your current wealth in GP divided by 1000. (Your credit isn’t good in
Otherpool. But you can usually pawn strange items for things you need on a
one-for-one basis.)

(Edited to make more sense. People in Otherpool think of the D&D worlds the same way we think of the Third World. So, middle class people will be distant and awkwardly polite, the working class will assume you are up to something, educated people will want to point out they know what a 'Liche's is, because they read about it in a specialist magazine. Everyone will assume you all somehow come from the same place, like we think of Africa as just kind-of one place. Killing a monster or murderous cyborg with a sword is possibly illegal depending on the circumstances. Killing some random thug with a sword is absolutely illegal. You are regarded as vital, martial, simplistic and uncivilised. No-one will be surprised if you do something violent, it's just how 'they' are isnt it. You may be called 'a credit to your people' or 'not like the others'.)
Inspiring!
