Overview

Guy from Earth

On a lark, young Guy walks through a mysterious door and finds himself in a parallel universe --one in which all of the planets of our solar system are populated, and aliens from further afield, galactically speaking, have arrived to show us who's boss. A pastiche of the Sword and Planet books of sc-fi's pulp era, Guy from Earth is also the story of one guy's journey from bumbling, inept, normal guy to less bumbling and inept but still unlikely hero. Sometimes the bad guy, sometimes the good guy, sometimes just the fall guy, he's Guy from Earth.

  • Interestingly, it would also appear to encourage a greater resemblance to Vance, (as compared with the Goetia stories), as he's a wanderer discovering strange places, customs, adventures.

Sword and Planet

The first step: Construct a solar system --here or far distant-- in which our hero would roam. Brackett's Skaith might be a useful starting point for research, although Vance might be a better source of inspiration. Also look into fan versions of the Firefly system.
