[QUOTE="BronzeDragon, post: 182147, member: 873"] Nighttfall : I will get back to you on that board. Boy, I sure will! :D But it's 4 in the morning here, and I gotta sleep sometime in my life. Have already registered as a user there, and will certainly start posting. John : As for ideas for a ToT in Greyhawk, you could use the following. Perhaps there exists an agreement between the gods that states no one of them will commit his full being to the mortal plane, on pain of retribution from the others. The reason for this could be that it would give the manifested god a much greater ability to influence the world, and thus break the balance. Problem is, one of the minor gods decides he's had enough of being bullied, and decides to break the agreement and enters the mortal realm in full splendor. Only to discover he has lost most of his godly powers! The other gods, suddenly aware there is a violator of the rule, decide to pursue their agreement to the letter and, [I]en masse[/I] , enter the mortal realm. Once the transition is made, the gods discover most of their powers disabled as well. They cannot locate each other by divine means, and they realize, with a shudder, that they might actually be killed. Besides, they discover they cannot return through divine means to their realms. This sets off a chain of events that could be described as a Time Of Troubles. The evil gods start to plan for ambushes to kill off the good gods, while the good gods look for ways back to their realms that could avoid much bloodshed for the mortals. Meanwhile, the neutral gods run the gamut from greed to indifference to active pursuit of the original sinner. You have to decide what way back to their realms exists, what kind of plots individual gods would concoct and, most of all, have to arrange things so that, by the actions of your PCs, the world is not turned into a haven for the goody-two-shoes gods. Remember, everything should be back in a balanced way, even if major players can (and should) be taken off the scales. [/QUOTE]
