[QUOTE="DMH, post: 3284802, member: 24945"] Falling Through the Cracks This world is a laboratory of the gods. Each Age is a time when mortals are created and allowed to live and worship. When the Age is finished, all the life* and topography of the world is changed into something else, except those who fall through the cracks in the system. The PCs are some of those people. One day they go to sleep and the next they awake in an alien world with nothing that appears the same. There are relic species from the more recent older Ages that slowly die off in time and are considered oddities by the current populace and the PCs just joined them. There are 2 ways of going about this. First is having the new Age start as if the world had begun. People are extremely primitive and everything has to be relearned. The PCs could muck up the gods' plans... Or it could be that all the new mortal's memories are created and the new Age starts whenever the gods wish. The latter is like Dark City. *Undead and constructs are converted into landscape. Outsiders are ejected unless they are the gods' minions meant to spread the faith. This is loosely inspired by Displaced, a recent addition to the pdf stores. What this started out as was an apocalyptic senario where the gods cause a cataclysm meant to kill off everything over a set time. Anything tough enough to survive would be allowed into the next Age. I prefer the idea of resetting everything though. [/QUOTE]
