Quote:Wait a minute. Is Legion capable of crossing multiverses? The map and common sense seem to suggest that the entirety of Number of the Beast takes place within one multiverse, along with the rest of Heinlein's World-as-Myth stories. If Legion uses the same transport mode, how is he capable of performing the "exponentially more difficult" trans-multiversal travel? What am I missing here?
I suppose that since I created the map, I ought to chime in here.
The map's organized for readability, not necessarily reflecting "reality" (whatever the fuck *that's* supposed to mean in this context). Legion's Quest was my choice for the transfictional hub because Ed Becerra is a fandom leech ne plus ultra and he started early enough that he's got direct links to all the stories hooked with red lines. Yes, that includes Sailor Moon: American Kitsune too; I didn't make that up out of some twisted impulse. The first pass Bob made had Twisted Path as the hub because he thought that's where all the stories connected.
That's on a simple level. The more complex level is trying to tie together all the different fictional cosmologies. This is a hell of a lot more confusing because frankly none of them are supposed to work together. SME's model of the multiverse is mechanically incompatible with World-As-Myth, which has structural compatibility problems with the Dr. Who-inspired multiversal model used in Undocumented Features and it's derivatives, etc. We're not even getting into problems with major source materials like the DCU/Wildstorm or Marvel multiverses.
In this instance, common sense would seem to dictate saying "fuckit," going out & getting a beer, 'cause you're *never* gonna untangle this mess on a cosmological level.
