[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 2066844, member: 14041"] OK, Well, the gods can't be happy about this. Someone did something unforgivably stupid or evil and it fractured time. Perhaps the God/Personification of Time is dead or dying (it would be a nonlinear event so the verb tenses get iffy.) Killed either in mallice or ignorance, but the results are the same. Things are getting wonky. The Gods got together and tried to fix it, but the best they could do was stabalize certain eras, but the far future and the far past have already begun to disolve, and it is only the collective will of the godhead that is keeping the 8 temporal regions stable. What will they do? One of the gods discovers that the only beings who can fix the problem are the ones who caused the trouble in the first place: the PCs. Only thing is - the PCs did it when they were at Epic levels and that particular even is on the edge of the stable set. So the gods find them when they are more plyable - at first level or whenever your campaign starts - and explain to them what's going on. At fist they may only explain that they have been chosen for a special task - probablly within their own era. A certain quest must be accomplished (so their latter selves in the fragmenting time line don't do it). Once that's done they may get a better idea of what's going on. But the gods save the info about their great crime - and then one era they run into the Big Bad - who just happens to be an evil version of one of them at a higher level. If you have a group where PCs come and go you can simply explain that the adjustments made so far have altered things beyond the gods ability to predict, the original group is now different, and things have been altered to adjust for that. This could be very interesting, to run and play, but also very complicated. The other possibilty is to say that the event that is destoying time has wiped out their personal timelines, so that they never existed. The people they know don't know them. Their mothers miscarried, or they were killed in childhood accidents, and now their lovers treat them like strangers, their homes are occupied by others, and the only people who do seem to recognize might be their mother or father, who treats them like a ghost or a cruel joke. That would be motive to me. [/QUOTE]
