Star Wars would be fun, but for the moment I'm not considering it. Basically, Doug has to be ignorant of transfictionality until at least DW10. To this end, he's not an anime fan, nor does he know any more about Science Fiction than can be found in general pop culture. Star Wars is one of those things that, especially at his age, with his family in the movie business, and generally being immersed in American pop culture, he couldn't help but know about. Throwing him into that universe would put him somewhere he would easily recognize as "fictional" back home; so if I do write something like this, it would have to be after DW10 -- which is to say, not to be written for a long, long time.

...would be interesting, I think. For those unfamiliar with it, Mega-City One houses 2 billion or more people, takes up most of the East Coast of what was the United States, and is the beat of one Judge Joseph "Ol' Stoney-Face" Dredd. Superheroes are illegal, falling under the laws against vigilantes, and the UN is defunct. Doug is freaky enough to fit right in with the incredible array of odd groups that fill the city. And dimension hopping is not unknown in Mega-City One. Some of their worst criminals have come from other dimensions.

I'm just wondering if there's any plans for other dimensionally displaced people trying to get home in DWn? If so, I think Solsbury Hill (failed gate song in DW2 IIRC) could be used by Doug to take himself and that other person to their home dimension. I doubt it will ever take Doug home himself, but it might leat to an interesting step along the way to be rescuing someone else in a similar situation...

I dunno what the hoeck is going on, but for some reason DW General keeps poping up in my new list; yet when I go to the page there are no new posts listed. And this is even after having clicked the 'mark all posts as read'. In addition, the activity tag shows some sort of an action having occured today (the 17th) yet the most recent post on the board shows as the 7th!?!?!?!"I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

Ya know.... Ghost in the Shell might be an interesting place for Doug to make a stop-over. It's similar to BGC in tone, but the attitude towards androids and cyborgs is much closer to what he's used to... it'd make for an interesting contrast...

I've made a minor, fun tweak to the Drunkard's Walk Main Page, in case anyone's interested.
You may have to reload the page a time or two to see what I changed.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

After reading a question about a self-simulacra song in the chapter 12 commentary thread, I had this song jump to my mind as the one to do it.

Taking your later reply to an annoyed Brit into account:
Try this on for size...
Doug lands in modern London...but it's a dark twisted Dickensian London, and there are all those feral elf-kids and (IIRC) large talking rats running around.
And just when he's getting a handle on the Borribles world, along come a bunch of bewildered adventurers from Oerth looking for the Mace of St. Cuthbert...
(This could set up a next Step, as presumably he wouldn't have time to find a gate song and would settle for following the Slayers-wannabes back to Greyhawk one step ahead of the London constabulary...)

This actually makes more sense in a way than Eyrie Productions Undocumented Features universe. There it seems that (unless I'm missing something) the Norse Pantheon is the one that's made a real comeback, but no one else. The Norse haven't been actively worshipped in centuries, and now they're manifesting? What gives?

This is fun for the story as long as we keep to the cardinal rule "don't examine this too closely", but it does make me wonder from time to time, what the heck is up with all the other pantheons, not to mention the Judeo-Chistian mythos? (That last would get into some potentially dangerous territory if not for the cardinal rule above.)

I mean, I see Belldandy, as she's presented in AMG, as her own entity, not an avatar or filter. Your method of presenting things so far makes me wonder what, in your version of AMG, she really is. And who she is, as well. I mean, Belldandy really loves Keiichi with all her heart. Does that apply to her other aspects as well? And if not, and Keichi really understood what Belldandy was in these terms, what would it mean for their relationship?
