Hello All,
Dale and I have been communicating about the recent problems with the Forum here at pspowerbooks.com. It has been decided to retire the Forum and move all author & conversational interactions over to Patreon.
Over the next week or so, I'll be closing down the Forum and creating redirects to start funneling visitors of the Forum over to that URL (the main website showing all the books will be staying).
Thank you everyone for your participation on the Forum these past several years! See you on Patreon!!

p.s. Sorry about all of the coding errors. They reset nightly these days and I can't keep up with changing the code that often...

"With all the cross-reality interactions coming up now, it would make sense to have a "master" spoiler thread.
The rules are basically that the thread can contain spoilers for any P.S. Power book in the larger interconnected multi-verse (which really should get some kind of name) that is available on amazon. (So excluding books that are currently in "public" editing, but everything else is fair game)." ~ qHnED7SnYgQs

The time travel paradox comes up in numerous books. General conclusion is that any apparently successful attempt to rewrite just adds another reality to the multiverse without removing the original. Not all in agreement though and P.S. Power looks to be one of them. None the less the paradox is a real thing and needs a careful solution for his multiverse to be convincing.
I think the idea of a limited number of realities does it. New ones come into existence when others evaporate. They compete for existence by representing different ways of doing things. So, fiddling with time creates a new reality but it has to justify its existence by better adding to diversity if it is to survive. As it is usually going to be rather close in nature to the reality it breaks from there is likely to be only one survivor.
By this logic line walking has a very negative effect - cross cultural contamination. It can be justified by opposing the adversaries who are the ultimate in that sort of thing - they want ALL realities to work their way.
Begs a question. Can the amount of reality be diminished? If not then this war can only be lost. Both line-walkers and adversaries will destroy realities by destroying their individualism but new ones will be born to take their place. Much like greater demons.

Heaven? There must be a reality that is a heaven too on the grounds that if it is meaningful and different enough it has to exist. Probably lots of them. LOTS of problems with boredom. I suspect most eventually evaporate. Offhand I can't recall a convincing description of heaven where the inhabitant were happy, in for the long hall and not, in effect, lobotomized.
Those are separate tho. If I have it right realities are sentient so gods exist in/as them them rather than in a separate heaven. Angels could. Maybe they have a separate reality for chilling out. Sort of like a clubhouse.
