Spacial Planar Walking & Navigation For Your Old School Space Opera

 They are lean and athirst!" he shrieked... "All the evil in the universe was concentrated in their lean, hungry bodies. Or had they bodies? I saw them only for a moment, I cannot be certain."
—Frank Belknap Long, "The Hounds of Tindalos"


There are pathways through space & time that invade the mind of psychics. Things that move in those angles of space where time is nothing more then an illusion. This is the place of dead roads where those whose mind wanders there can learn to fold space as a man folds paper or his fingers.
Those who use these abilities risk much as the things that dwell there are not simply another form of life but another existence entirely.  Each time one employs these abilites they risk much from the "Ones Who Rebuild Their Bodies"  or simply the Tindalos.

"At the beginning of creation, a terrible thing was done.  Echoed and reflected throughout time, it still seeks to accomplish it dire purpose.  Beyond the White Void it lies, hideous beyond human comprehension or imagination.  This ignorance, though a great mercy, yet leaves our souls exposed to a fate unspeakable and malign.  Were it not for Those across the Black Void, that all-devouring barrier that not even the Strong Door passes, there would be no hope for we who are caught within the coils of the Great error.  But They, upon Their wise, all-seeing Thrones, intervene not against mere damnation, but only to avert the advent of the Fatal bridge.

- While we, in our awful foolishness, still batter at the gates of That which is to Hell as Hell is to Heaven." 

- anonymous, The Urgaak Manuscript, codex B

 They are from the angles of other realms & we move through the curves of space. Those who access this ability see but the curves & the angles. Yet those who dwell there are the anti life building their bodies from hunger, desire, & the very foundations of the universe. Their realms are undergoing constant change, destruction, and re-creation.
Those who use these abilities see & are seen by the hounds & others. Alien Demons, unknown devils, & the remains of gods whose worshipers have pasted on are also there. The used up prey of the Tindalos & worse. Eaten but still conscious they all seek the life of us all & at the end of this existence they may have it.
Yet there are advantages if one does not mind the cost of their souls.
