[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7856676, member: 6802378"] We agree it is too soon for an "infinite earth crisis" but this could happen in a future if they need a really good excuse for a reboot of the multiverse (and allowing new races or classes in previous worlds). I don't like the idea of a world being saved by a little group, so little group. It is like betting all to only one card. The reader is used to notice this happens because in the end the victory will be for the heroes again, always. When Captain America has said "It's time to save the world" so many times, the effect is lost, it isn't the same emotion as the first time. For metagame effects I defend the concept of time spheres, parallel worlds or uchronies in D&D multiverse because this would allow more freedom to alter the lore or adding changes, for example one story about kingpriest of Istar empire in Krynn becoming demigod, but he is cursed and sent to a shadow domain where his nemesis will be lord Soth. The time dragons and chronomancers in the scripters' hands could be used as "joker cards" in future mass media franchises. I have got other hypothesis: the mass media producers could ask WotC a new setting with modern technology (do you remember the teleserie "Carnival Row"?) because is cheaper for action-life adaptations. Then WotC had to create a XX-XXI century version of "Masque of the Red Death"... and then Hasbro could suggest to use this world for a mash-up of the "hasbroverse" (transformers, G.I.Joe, Rom Spaceknight, Action Man..). This setting with modern technology isn't ready for the d20 system, but it needs its own updated version of d20 Modern. It would be fun. A movie by Universal Pictures about a group of young people, with some teenages, being abducted to the demiplane of the dread, and they face menaces like the men-eater three hags, or Maligno, the carrionet, the level of violence wouldn't be harder than R.L Stine's Goosebumps. In the end after some sacrifices the characters come back to home, but their home wasn't our Earth but a different world (and the screen shows something like a broken Liberty statue in the beach). (At least I have had fun telling this crazy idea) * What a pity but the Gate-towns from Planescape should be recovered as hooks for new stories.
