Message: <blockquote data-quote="BluWolf" data-source="post: 122747" data-attributes="member: 627">OK, quick thoughts...1) The most obvious answer to why are their future selves trying to stop them is that in the past/near future, the party attempts a noble quest that ends up sending the planes/sigil/whatever into eternal darkness/evil tyranny.  They were setup by another baddie in the current/near future timeline.There was a movie out in the late 80's that dealt with this sort of story through dreams not combat but the main elemtns are the same. Alice Cooper did a cameo role. I don't recall the name.2) The reason the party doesn't encounter their future selves right away is because they cannot travel back right away. For what ever reason their method of time travel lets them send commands back in time but not themselves. So they start the ball rolling by dominating a few NPCs in the past/present who go about gathering more minions AND more importantly creating clones of the current party.3) Why wouldn't they communicate directly. The device/item they are using in the future doesn't let them communicate with themselves directly. All messages sent back to themselves arrive back at the original sender???Maybe you should try and delvier a message? weakly and vague as to be easily distorted. This could in fact be the very thing that gets the current party on the quest to release the future doom!!After that their future selves attempt to stop the party instead.Plot twists. Drop a few seeds by turning current friednly NPCs into possible advisaries. "You know I saw Bob the armorer the other day and he was really pleasant. Today he started yelling at me with this blank stare screaming YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS!!!!!!!!! What gives?"4) The message back in time actaully reveals the location of an ancient god long imprisoned from the creation of space time. He is a destrcutor and will bring about he end of creation. because the message is so distorted the party should be lead to belave the message is menat ofr them to go and destroy this item/place that is actually holding this evil in check.Just some random thoughts. Nice concept...</blockquote>
