I am quasi-obsessed, after 35 years of playing and running Champions, with creating a sprawling multiversal setting to run and play games in. I call it the "457". The various universes, planes, cosmopolises, dimensions, realms, homelands, afterlife realms, etc are laid out as coordinate points on and inside a giant metaphysical sphere, with the "prime" universe at the center of it. I haven't written up 457 different dimensions(yet! lol) but I have bounced around various ideas. My inspirations are varied: Marvel's Exiles, the DC Multiverse, What If? comics, Planescape/Manual of the Planes, old Twilight Zone and Star Trek episodes, the Man in the High Castle/Wolfenstein, Champions in 3D and my own previous campaign settings. While I work on it I figured I'd open a thread to discuss other folks' ideas for different dimensions/timelines, and to present my own dimensions as I write them up. One of the planes is definitely going to be Babylon, the City of Cities, as described in Mystic Hero/Ultimate Supermage. It's a dimension that's basically one giant metropolis, containing an amalgam of every major city from fiction, real history etc. Presumably some alien cities as well. It's likely to be a major nexus point among the dimensions of the 457.
