What's there to find on a normal earth?
Comparative analysis. A Earth without the comics book crap going on. A Earth without the Entities threatening the worlds. To see if these ordinary creatures come from a ordinary world. You can't know the night without the day. Or happiness with pain and sorrow. No one on Earth Bet knows just how capital F Fucked they are because they don't know what their world would've looked like without Parahumans and all.
I can see a a great emotional chapter out of it at least. Seeing how the Earth Bet was supposed to be. A quiet contemplative chapter truly coming to understand how the world is better without it being used as an combat alien's petri dish. Worse in some ways I am sure. But still better.
 
Those are not bad examples, but they don't apply to the creature Alex currently has.


Some of them yes. But Alex isn't an SI he wouldn't know about it so he wouldn't go looking for it. And there's little chance he would stumble upon it randomly, even with his Personal AI. He would be far too busy searching for anything that could help in his fight against the Endbringers (or against Scion if he became of aware of it by this point).
The hardest part of going on a normal earth, particularly on a first jump, would be for Alex to justify it. If he wants to go to Harry Potter, it could be justified as learning their brand of magic. What's there to find on a normal earth?


No idea.

Well its actually pretty easy to justify an earth visit, atleast if its the first visit. He could go to normal earth just to test how dimensional travel works, and a normal earth is not only the most familiar place he could go to its also pretty much safe, instead of jumping straight into mostly unknown worlds.

And if he went there I dont see why he wouldnt search the term parahuman on the internet to make sure this world doesnt have any mention of them.

That's a good one. I'm very happy with it. There are a lot of tricks that Alex can pull with that one.

Now on another subject, Dimensional travel. Since the last time we talked about it I continued to think about what you said and the advanced arguments. I think I've found the right limitations for the power to work into the story. Please let me know what you think, I'm still willing to change it if you find a glaring flaw.



-Dimensional Travel: Once per month, you can teleport into the original dimension of one of your creatures. You appear close to a member of the same species as the chosen creature. You can also teleport back to your original dimension with the same once-per-month limit.
Quest-specific rules
--Each time you use Dimensional Travel all creatures that you currently have summoned are automatically dismissed, even if they were under the effect of powers such as Anchored Summoning, Maintain Summoning, or Relay Summoning, and even if you are in direct contact with those creatures (such as clothes, tattoo, possession, etc...)
The only exceptions are as follows: Any sort of permanent Companions, Creature summoned with the Independent Agent power, and Creatures summoned by means other than the Celestial Menagerie (Summoning Contract, Servant Ritual, and so on.)
Your links, if any, with any creatures that remained behind, such as Share Senses, Telepathic Communication, Know Location, and similar effects, are reduced to the point that you can only tell if the creature is alive or not. In the same way, you cannot affect those creatures with any powers be it a boost, a teleportation effect, apply a Modifiers, or others.
--You cannot take anyone with you in your dimensional travel with the exception of those that benefit from your Grant Summoning power if they are touching your bare skin when you activate the power.
--You can elect to return to the Dimension you came from before the normal duration of one month elapses. In that case, you cannot use Dimensional Travel again for the remainder of the month plus one additional month.



To sum things up. The new rules amount to: You arrived there naked (without your partners), you can only leave behind permanent partners, you can only take people if you gave them a partner, and you can go back earlier than planned but it does not reset the duration before you can travel again.

Let me know what you think.

Worm started being posted in June 2011, and currently in-story it is May 2011, so if Alex left right now and looked up Parahuman or Endbringer he wouldn't find anything relevant. He likely wouldn't look it up again unless he stumbled across Worm or discussions about Worm, plus he would be limited by how many chapters were available.

Literally unclothed?
No, I just meant without his partners. Meaning that for a very brief window of time when he reaches the new dimension he's more vulnerable than usual.

Does he experience the travel time? Like just floating or standing while in transit? Does he have any sensation of the travel itself?
Haven't decided yet. Travel time is probably none or only a few seconds. For the rest, I'll decide when it's time to write the event.

Can he have Okly out keeping him company in transit?

No, all creatures are dismissed. The only ones that aren't among those Alex currently possesses are Prime, Aylamon, Solar (sort of), the Panda's clan, and Shadow (if summoned with the Servant Ritual). Those could either stay behind or travel with him.
 
Speaking of the Panda Clan, since they come from a world where Grandma toasted the Elemental nations and their world, is there a way to get to the cannon world? Maybe use our own tailed beast to appear next to a Jinchuriki? I see no way this could go wrong...

Edit: I may have already asked this... is there any worls we could go to where they might find a way to follow us back? For example, a Marvel universe with a Mr. Fantastic?

The only one with have that's really from Naruto is the Bikōchū.

Off the top of my head the only one that I'm sure could follow would be a Planeswalker from MTG if we got a Sliver.
In D&D some powerful spellcasters (epic) may also be able to follow.
Marvel and DC both contain some powerful beings that may be able to do so.
I'm sure there are others but I can't remember.

Thats true... Tho it doesnt really say the time when he arrives on the other earth, all though it would be cool if he arrived at our current year I will understand if he arrives at his current timeline.
 
Would multiple Creatures lead to multiple variations of the same world? Like Pandas lead to Naruto where Grandma Kaiju wins, and Bikōchū leads to one where she doesn't? Only way for Alex to know is to do it and fail to return?
The Pandas aren't a viable target for Dimensional Summoning, because you appear next to a member of the same species. There's no more Panda clan in that world/dimension. There may not even be any more life period.
 
How are items effected by Dimensional Travel? By which I mean, is Alex limited to whatever he can carry? Can he bring things back?

And if he can bring people he has gifted Partners to along, why can't he bring Companions in the same way? Seems a bit odd that.

Also, these rules seem to greatly encourage he step up Granting Companions, especially to his team.

EDIT: I just realized, Alex can bring people back from other dimensions if he uses Grant Summoning on them.

...what about the HP creatures? The cat or the Demiurge or Okly? Would they lead to different HP worlds?

I would limit it to what he, and the people he takes with him, can carry yes. That'll force him to choose really carefully what he wants to bring back.

And if he can bring people he has gifted Partners to along, why can't he bring Companions in the same way? Seems a bit odd that.
The Companion could be forcefully dismissed and then resummoned on the other side.

What a coincidence!

...what about the HP creatures? The cat or the Demiurge or Okly? Would they lead to different HP worlds?
I think it would be more interesting if they all led to the same world. So if you travel to HP using Oky as an Anchor and then try to use the Demiguise a year later he would reappear in the same world next to a demiguise.

I think it would be a matter of energy. The Menagerie that Alex has would be all hands on deck when it comes to utilizing Dimensional Travel. That's how much energy he would need travel. That certain utilities need to be turned off for a bit.
My reasoning is more based on making it narratively interesting than trying to justify it for the CM. But that's a good explanation as any.
 
How many people can he take with him? I assume you aren't talking about his partners/Creatures?
I choose my words carefully for that:
if they are touching your bare skin when you activate the power.
it says bare skin.
This means that if Alex is willing to Dimensional Travel while wearing only a Speedo, a fair number of people could travel with him. It would be really awkward but is it possible to go with a dozen people? Something like that. (And the arrival point may make things difficult)
Realistically it would probably be limited to four I guess. And just in case it may be prudent to not take too many people when you leave so you can maybe come back with people recruited in the other dimension.
 
What level of Dungeon Master is needed for Alex to use creatures lent to Nimue as targets in Dimensional Travel? I.E. visit their worlds.

Also, how are you handling technology from other worlds? Does it work the same on Bet, does it function on exotic physical laws, or is it more of a case-by-case basis? I ask because I believe that one of the most beneficial things Alex could use Dimensional Travel for is to acquire resources and information. In theory, he could pave the way for colonizing the oceans if he went to Subnautica for example, assuming someone could decipher the data storage they use anyway.

Honestly, I just want to see how the world of Earth Bet would change in response to new concepts and technologies.
