I love İnfinite World setting. In fact, I am planning a new adventure for the new year. PCs are from a cold war world with super advanced nuclear and radio technology. There are 3 sides, trying to dominate each other. At some point, all of these 3 powers detect a signal at South Pole. There will be some intrigue. Everybody is trying to hide in shadows, withold information from each other, etc. The game starts with the briefing, PCs are doing military landing to the place to investigate. Because, it's not just the weird radio signal. İt's also a cryptic message like pattern they find on the signal. Number Stations. Because of the storm, players will land in a different place. There will be some expeditions to get to the correct place, etc. During this period, they encounter with some information and awkwardness in the environment, etc. At the point, they found a battle has already started. 2 political powers were shooting each other mostly, but also something else. Briefly, that "number station" signals were coming from an alien race with super advanced technology. They were investigating an anomaly at the South Pole of the planet. And the phenomenon was caused by another alien race who are depend on magic to live. The mana of their world was getting corrupted by an unknown reason (somebody is trying to manipulate their quantum level, maybe? Or, it was an accident?). Since they cannot live without magic (their biology depends on it), they were trying to open a portal and immigrate. After the fight, the technological alien race learns the existence of magic and infinite worlds, and escape. They are not a military organisation , but just a bunch of scientist. Aliens with magic tries to do something with magic, but because of the corrupted mana emenating from their world to this, they trigger a banestorm. Players are going to be thrown to a medieval world. Local people gets suspicious about these newcomers. Because there are some dead bodies and lost people with 2 tooth mark, and sucked blood. This part will be like a dracula scenario. However, they will learn this at the end, these attacks were caused by the infinite world nazies who are investigating the blood of the local people to get more information about the infinite patrol worlds. Because, they are relatives somehow. At the end, they will find data storage units, 2 portals, and some equipments for the next part. One of the portals shows a backup attack team approaching, the other one shows a cyber-punk world. Which will be turn out one of the main base world of the infinite patrols. Nazis had made a secret outpost to there for some reason. I will express infinite patrol as an imperialist force at the place and in general. Every new adventure and world will be in a different genre. From politics to war, from horror to cyberpunk, from monster hunter to Discworld like comedy... I love GURPS and İnfinite Worlds because they allow this, and offers decent solutions/suggestions/supplements.
but ooh the opportunities, i love SJG willingness to flood their books with hooks and options. (I do wanna maybe see a rough outline of a mission - or mission set up. like show the hopping to help explain or provide examples of echoes and parallels and then mixing it up with the opposing worldline. not a play through, but a outline of an adventure and the challenges you would put in the players' way.
Definitely can do that. I've seen some talk around this topic more lately on the forums/reddit. Something in particular you want or just "How to stat out NPCs on the fly"?
Correction, you have many setting with GURPS 3th edition: Myth (the video game) Witchword Fantasy and Fantasy II Aptation ofWerewolf the Apocalypse, Mage the Ascension and Vampire the Mascarade Technomancer Conan Riverworld New Sun War Against the Chotor You also have the precursor of Infinite Words:Time Traveler, Alternate Earth I and Alternate Earth II Discworld and Discworld Also Cyberpunk, Cyberworld and Cthulhupunk

Its not complicated at all. Its just dimension hopping pulp.
great stuff! can you make a vid on making NPCs?
Definitely can do that. I've seen some talk around this topic more lately on the forums/reddit. Something in particular you want or just "How to stat out NPCs on the fly"?
