[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 2065307, member: 63"] The first idea I had was to run the game in 8 different timelines at once. The players would make characters in each, and I'd interweave everything. Then I realized that'd be way too complicated. Instead, I'm thinking of a quest of sorts. There'll be 8 timelines that basically equate to the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and Millennium. Each time period has a feel similar to what I perceive to be the 'feel' of that decade. 30s is a little desperate, 40s is heroic, 50s is paranoid, 60s is benevolent, 70s is trippy, 80s is greedy and morally corrupt, 90s is hedonistic, and Millennium is unguided. Some will be action fantasy, some will be horror, the 70s will be comedy. We'll start in the 60s, in some sort of sheltered timeline where things are still relatively intact, and as dangers threaten that world, we'll learn that we need to go to other timelines to save the entire world. Most of the timelines will be disparate and far enough apart to have almost no overlap (except for maybe one immortal figure). But two timelines will be only 15 years apart, so the group can see how things used to be, and try to figure out how they become so bad in the future. [/QUOTE]
