When Worlds Diverge

Most people consider the physical world—the place where you and I live, breathe, eat, and sleep—a mundane place. Despite the fact that nature, technology, and psionics are able to produce a seemingly unlimited array of sights, sounds, and effects, we live with these things every day and, to us, they rarely seem too surreal.

There are two other worlds that are roughly parallel but still very different than ours; one created by men, the other a naturally occurring plane with supernatural connotations. Though the former is man-made it is no longer as “virtual” as people once believed it to be and while the latter has been around since the dawn of existence, many people still disbelieve it. These two worlds, the ‘Net and the Astral Plane, are similar in many ways.
