Answer the first

moosl asks: I am an off-worlder and view your world sporadically. Where can one learn of your world succintly?

IC: I must admit that I have never, myself, left the World Tree, and I am not as familiar as I might be with whatever books may appear in offworld bookstores.

For that matter, do offworlds even use proper books? On the Water-Tree, evidently, there are speaking icicles used instead of books ... though, in other stories, someone does talk about "peeling the hero's hide off and using it to bind some low-grade pornography." Perhaps speaking icicles are sold in leather sheaths, I suppose.

Still, I daresay that you live in a somewhat more real universe than the Water-Tree. What do books look like there?

OOC: You can buy the World Tree book. The first half of it is a travelogue or fictional ethnography of the World Tree. The second half is the actual RPG rules. We did intend that the first half stand on its own, as a work of fictional nonfiction, and many non-gamers have enjoyed it as that.

Last I checked, our quantum physics was more akin to a statistical analysis of the universe. Effectively, trying to work out the likely hood of various small events. Apparently, at the very small scale, our universe follows these laws precisely (events don’t “happen”, but they do have a probability of occurring). This is what physicists call “wonky”.

As a note, no one actually understands quantum physics. If someone says that they understand it, they are either lying, or insane.

As a further note, to get a feel for quantum physics, imagine if Hressh-Huu was the goddess of all things smaller than a gain of sand, instead of air and weather.
