Just re-read Jack L. Chalker's Well of Souls and Four Lords of the Diamond books as well as Piers Anthony's Apprentice Adept series, looking for more that combine magic and sci-fi in interesting ways. (lemmy.ml)

If you haven't read those books, give them a go!

Up-vote for the Well World books! I remember them fondly. It's been 40 years -- might be time for a refresher :) Now I see he wrote two more in the series in 1999/2000? I had no idea. Suppose I have no choice now

Make sure to read the forward, quite funny how/why he wrote them. Not as good as the first few, but a worthy entry to the series.

Will do! I must have given away the series I had long ago. I'm sourcing out a new (used) set tonight. Down the rabbit-hole I go...
