Hey there!
Working on the Epic Tier adventures for my currently running campaign.
Long story short- during an encounter with the Maze Engine, the party was sent back in time. They fixed a mistake they had made in the past, saving two lives, and were then sent back to present day.
A slowly building plot hook is, the idea that this change to the time stream is causing some negative effects. Walls of reality weakening due to paradoxes, some NPCs are driven mad by having memories of both timelines, etc.
To fix this, our heroes will have to sail the Astral Sea, and travel to the Plane of Time. There, they will find the loom with the threads of history- they'll have to remove the severed thread, and resew the frayed thread to restore the timeline they like best. (Or, I might make it a web, and bring in some sort of Spider creature to fight, but a loom seems more interesting.)
I've got a few vague ideas for encounters (There's a few Tome of Beast creatures that will fit in nicely), and I like the idea of some sort of Entropy Lord, but otherwise I thought I'd drop a line in case you all have any inspiration during this initial planning phase. Thanks!
