This is very cool, and though making or drawing them is not for me, I'm glad these booklets exist!

The curious part of me wants to know if you have the patterns for any of the ones that transport you between alternate timelines πŸ˜‰

I'm reading the #MerchantPrinces series by @cstross, and I just came across this amazing quote:

Empire Games: Charlie Stross starts a new phase in the Merchant Princes series, blending spycraft, Leninist thought experiments, and parallel dimensions / Boing Boing

Charlie Stross's longrunning Merchant Princes series are a sneaky, brilliant techno-economic thought experiment disguised as heroic fantasy, and with Empire Games, the first book of the second phase of the series, Stross throws in a heavy dose of the noirest spycraft, an experiment in dieselpunk Leninism and War on Terror paranoia.
