Yes, that's still the working name. XD And I should've posted something to this effect ages ago.
The world seems to be at least a little bit broken. The time period is modern, maybe a little bit in the future. Things are a little more technologically advanced, but not by much. There are at least a few places still medievally inclined though; this is accepted as Just The Way It Is. People in these areas still live in castles and the like, and generally dress and act the part. There's speculation that the medieval-esque places are actually in a sort of pocket dimension, but that doesn't exactly explain everyone mingling together in modern downtown areas, or the occasional ancient castle being wired for cable and indoor plumbing.
Apparently, no matter how far away most places are, you can get there if you walk/drive long enough. Even if there's an ocean between Point A and Point B. I don't know how, either. Airplanes are good for that too, of course, but I swear somewhere someone managed to drive from California to Japan.
Magic is indeed real, and still quite powerful despite some conflicts with technology. It's just kept a secret except among circles of practitioners. Vampires, werewolves, fairies, demons, etc also exist, in general secretly. It's possible to fall into rips in the space/time continuum and wind up just about anywhere. Some people may or may not be the avatars/earthly incarnations of deities, and this may or may not be a good thing. The general populace has no idea these sorts of things are going on, because most people only see what they want to see anyway.
Oh, and mad scientists are plotting to take over/destroy the world.
And that's why the working name is Jigsaw World. All the pieces seem to come from different puzzles and most of them don't match up.
