[UA] Fantasy/UA crossover

[Michael Daisey]

I've been itching to blow the doors off UA and do another iteration of the
big 333--the world that follows this one, filled with the remains and
remnants of this world extruding into the next as background static.  The
Great Church of Elvis and a new version of the St. Louis Arch that is now
shaped like McDonald's ubiquitous symbol spring to mind.

At any rate, this new setting I've thrown together rough notes for has a
strange altered tech feel, and in a VERY primitive way Archetype-followers
are "clerics" and Adepts are "magic-users".

Anyway, I'm procrastinating.
