Arguably, I haven't given it a tonne of thought as to exactly how to implement this in the game.Steve, Ryan, JR. If you by chance stumbled upon this thread, cease reading immediately. There are things in here that you may ruin some of the surprises you're in for..............Some sketchy background (note, that the PCs don't actually know most of this -- they just came into possession of the magical dohicky): The PCs are in possession of a magical gate which allows access to any plane of existence. More importantly, this gate can create an arbitrarily large portal to any plane of existance. There is a semi-powerful demon-lord on one of the planes, who has had his every attempt to access the prime thwarted by a secretive organization; the organization monitors his actions, and any time he attempts to access the prime (via a gate/portal) they are able to teleport in and thrust him back through the portal just before closing it off. The organization is able to prevent his access because he is only able to create temporary portals which are not terribly large. This demon-lord has many followers on the prime plane, who he is able to contact. The demon-lord wishes to possess this gate, so that he can create a very large portal and move forth his entire force of demonic followers in an effort to overwhelm the organizations defenses.The idea for the recurring day, which really needs to be fleshed out bigtime is thus: The evening before, the magical dohicky is stolen. During the day there are various events which act as clues, to the PCs, as to who has the thingy and where it is located. Then, in the middle of the night on the recurring day a huge portal opens a few miles from the town the PCs are currently in -- chaos ensues.The obvious goal for the recurring day is to prevent the portal from being opened. However this is done is entirely up to the creativity of the PCs.I was also flirting with the idea of making the recurring day the result of a horrible curse (something like "Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it"), but I'm not sure how to go about doing that without making an easy out for the recurring day (just kill off the curse giver). Any suggestions?-Eraslin</blockquote>
