One of the elements I really like about Aberrant is that it doesn't fear changing the world. That it actively asks the question of 'what would a world with supers be like once they start doing stuff?' That unlike comics it doesn't hit the reset button every episode so that its always the world as it is. (Not that I object to this in comics, it works for them as a baseline is best, but still.)
This has lead me to the idea of how would a world where the ability to create alternate realms, and then forge the links between them, would change the world. What would happen when suddenly instead of mining our own world of its precious resources you could instead make a world covered in common, rare, precious, and exotic materials and then mine there. Same with farming. Same with ...
How would such a world be when the ability to create such realms become something known by a lot of different groups. OR, maybe as an interesting question, it is a knowledge held in secret by a certain group of Inspired people who operate in say a guild like manner.
This thread was created by me as a long standing request to get some thoughts of others when it comes to how such a modern world would change with the presence of such realms, and the Inspired that aids in creating and adventuring within them.
As a note yes, this question is basically taking the idea of Myst as an inspiration and trying to figure out a different way to go about it.
Also, I totally envision such a world not having Novas or Psions but that the Inspired do exist in some form, especially Talents.
