Concept
From PatchworkWiki
Patchwork universe has been described variously as a game, a storytelling project, a shared universe and a forums-based RPG similar to a play-by-mail game.
Patchwork Universe is primarily a story-telling environment. The essential idea is that people can take on the role of any character from any reality, since the Patchwork Universe is made up of an infinite variety of worlds linked together to form a bizarre landscape. While there are rules that govern the behaviour of objects and effects in the physical world, as well as guidelines for player conduct, there is a great deal of freedom in how individual plot progresses. Stories are created co-operatively between players as their characters explore and respond to the multifaceted environment of the Patchwork.
