Once The Strange is published, we might consider doing that! But not before.

Whoa! No, it's a different process for PCs who create recursions, because it's more limited and doesn't require the prime world to be subsumed in even a small part.

But I suppose rogue players that gained access to the raw processing power available in the Strange and the resources a planetovore can command could take on similar aspirations. Yikes!

Had great time, thanks for all your interest!

When PCs translate to a different recursion, if they haven't been to that recursion before, we are experimenting with two options. The one I like best at the moment is that upon finding oneself in a new recursion, a PC randomly rolls for a new foci available there. Later, the PC can either choose to cement that foci, or pick a different one.

In the future, should that PC return to that recursion, the chosen foci will once again become active.

Also, yes different recursion's foci are broadly thematically similar.

Jumping from recursion to recursion, which we call translating, will be possible in a variety of ways. One of those ways will be through certain PC abilities. Other ways will probably include special cyphers, and even "traditional" portals. But we're also imagining even stranger methods, so to speak!

The Strange, the initial game setting, has a focus around Earth and it's recursions. However, the original alien data system was actually built to allow for interstellar travel. Which means that, yes, there is the possibility to use the Strange to actually travel to other places in our universe!
