I'm happy that some of you are mentioning the Lawfulness and Evil of New Crobuzon because that's the exact alignment of the city.

I know the terms and technologies are a little confusing or maybe even a bit jarring when compared to typical D&D.  As I mentioned before if any of you take a rank of Knowledge: Local (New Crobuzon) then I will give you additional information (a PDF) of this city and world. 

I'm not sure how the rest of you feel but I think the world is interesting and would be a cool place to create a group to explore in the future.  There are events and situations I want to expose this group to but I'm trying to not overwhelm you too much and stay focused on getting you guys home.

I love this world/realm.  I keep mentioning it in Forge's thought processes but he would be comfortable here.  He's also Neutral/Neutral.  New Crobuzon, while the words are strange, is one of the more interesting settings I've played in.  I mean, we talked to a devil at level 2-3!  The funny names add an air of mystery and unsettling feeling to everything, which fits.  As a player, I am soaking this world up.  
Deep Thoughts for DM 

 Between the multiple games I am playing with the multi-realm/world hopping feeling, Keeper of the Seven Keys, Anova Chapter, and this game I think a cameo of other characters would be cool!  Even if the characters were seen through the DM's eyes and not role-played by the players.  Could you imagine Toot leading the resistance to fight technology in New Crobuzon, or Silent Giant with his not so trusty side-kick Lugar starting their own chapter in a town near Anova???  By the way, I think the dog is a druid. Just saying...of course my dog is dumb as a rock so

Betimi fits in very well with New Corubzon as well.. being from the Far Realm already, as well as LN...   when GM Marvel started this campaign I was playing up how alien she was to the typical world.. here she is closer to a native.


As for DM crossovers I think you'd be more likely to see those between  Stalwart Adventurers chapters.. they are already a shared campaign world afterall..
 
Of course both are still really just getting rolling. Anova Chapter has yet to leavethe town even.

But coordinating crossovers can be done a little more easily when the DMs can yack on the phone or meet face to face lol. In fact the only reason that Vodoma is running Anova chapter is that I could not quite figure out how to convert one of GM Marvels player characters from 3.5 to Pathfinder.. because in another one of my games (run at a local game store) it is actually his semi-retired PC that runs Anova chapter.
