Are there Shadows in DF, an Amber Question.

It was that or the broken Patterns were just shades of what would/could have happened to Ambers Pattern.
It reminds me in a way of Uriel having to destroy other universes. It would be like Uriel having to destroy the linked universe after its Pattern was destroyed.

In that case it sounds like the whole Amber Pattern et. al. would best fit as just one of single Branches of the DV multiverse, a "local group" of universes.
raidem:
From the perspective of the DV sure :). It is like us looking from Earth outward. The reason why I argued it the other way around was because Amber preceded Dresden Files and Jim played AmberMush. They each are multiverses with characters that can travel to otherworlds. Jim borrowed NeverNever travel from Amber. But, yes to your point, they'd fit as a local group of universes far from the local Dresdenverse we are reading.
It still has me asking if anyone from this "local group" of universes made it over to our local Dresdenverse. It would be a cool way to be why Mac and HWWBefore know each other. They had a run in before in another universe.

heh, dont hold your breath. Trying to fill the boredom speculating on Influences is one thing, trying to actually combine the worlds and reconcile the systems, or especially hoping to see an actual Cross over just aint gunna happen.
raidem:
Well, we may see a crossover from his characters from AmberMush. That isn't Amber and it was created by Jim.

Jim did it with Star Wars, Marvel Comics, etc with it happening somewhere in the Dresdenverse. In Amber, the characters (Amberites) can go to anywhere they can imagine. So there already is a combining of worlds.

Even then, Id expect more to see DV characters that are /based/ on his Amber ones, or on his various DnD characters, not an actual literal cross-over connection to another universe.
