[QUOTE="Angelsboi, post: 122729, member: 1219"] [b]Lets see if i can help ...[/b] [b]What could be so important that the future versions PC's try everything just to stop themselves? [/b] Hrm. maybe with the advent of [i]Deities and Demigods[/i] or the [i]Epic Level Rules[/i], the PCs become demigods for some cause of a bigger god who is dying. The current PCs dont know and the Future PCs nearly destroyed Sigil when they convereted (much like Vecna did) and the Lady of Pain was pissed. [b]What is that they want to stop from happening? [/b] Themselves from accepting this quest of becoming Demigods. [b]What did the players discover that noone should know? [/b] A god is dying and needs replacements b/c another god (an evil god) is wanting the dying gods' portfolio. [b]How could the villains travel back in time? [/b] Wish, Limited wish, create a spell [b]Why couldn't they just tell everything to their past selves?[/b] Maybe to curse them for their asscencon, the Lady of Pain forced them to speak only in questions or maybe riddles. [b]Why did they stay in the background the whole time, and let their lackeys do the dirty work?[/b] They cant interfere with mortal lives but they found a loophole where they can interfer with their own lives. [b]What is the function of these lackeys? [/b] Make it surpriseing. Allow the PCs to get hirelings and lackys and then have the lackies coming after them be older versions of their lackies. Make it forboding; say its 5 lackies. Only have 3 show up. Leaves the PCs wondering what happened to the other 2. [b]And what nice twists could I add to the plot (I just loooove twists), without giving away the main plotline? (with only one big twist at the end the campaign would grow quite boring) [/b] The lackies, have the lady of pains minions (i cant remember them) spying on the PCs, have various factions petition the PCs for requests that seem 'impossible' or 'godly' Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
