Mind Forged Worlds of the Cosmic Mandala

An idea on the back shelf.

There are always game ideas bubbling around in my head. This is the weirdest one. I have no idea if I will ever play test it or work on it much.

The idea is that there are many variations of the world, stretched out across a multidimensional space. The space has poles, a light side and a dark side, that are unstable, and a happy middle space. Great forces are at work to disrupt the landscape and draw it to one of the poles.

The players start out as regular people but somehow become mind forgers, with the ability to travel across realities through doors and archways, caves and passages. They get embroiled with the great powers but quickly realize they need to maintain the middle.

Each version of Earth has a reality anchor, a mail box here, a tree there. These anchors can be dominated only by changing the world in certain ways before approaching them. Moving one world can cause shifts and pressure to shift in nearby alternate versions.

That’s as far as I have got but who knows, maybe after Electric Gods is out there I may tinker with this some more.
