I _think_ some sort of Jack Chalker thing was mentioned as a possible Future Step by Bob.
After all, Chalker has done a load of stuff other than Well World. I would quite like to see what Doug would do in the Spirits of Flux and Anchor setting, or even the Wonderland Gambit series (you _are_ the code in that one!), and some older ones like G.O.D. Inc could be fun as well.
The problem with a Chalker setting, is that Doug might have to work real hard to come out as the same race, never mind the same sex! How some of the settings would interact with his mage talent might be a bit problematical, as unless Doug has a meta get out clause, he may find the local reality wont let him use it, which might spoil the point of a lot of stories.
Still, Doug has proved to be pretty flexible in past! [grin]
