I got an awful lot of the references but some I can't crack without at least some Googling.

Two references you really, really should have made, but didn't:

Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series.
The video game "Star Ocean 3".

Also, Rincewind is the Discworld character who got stuck dimension hopping (including a brief visit to the real world), not Vimes.

Wouldn't Jake constitute a Dark Tower ref?

It's a different Jake. This one, Jake Stonebender, is from the Callahan's Crosstime Saloon stories. (I had to Google the name.) The Jake from the Dark Tower series is Jake Chambers.
