[QUOTE="Guest 6801718, post: 7098513"] This kind of thing reminds me of The Flash, both the tv show and the comics. For those not familiar, The Flash gets his powers form a dimension know as The Speed Force. It's a plane of time that the Flash can tap into to occasionally time travel (if he can move fast enough to access it). The problem with Flash time traveling is that he can change things which has unknown consequences. The show also added time wraiths that hunt down people trying to mess with the time stream, as tampering with time can cause instability in time itself and the universe. So these wraiths pursue time travelers to eliminate them before any damage can be done. The other interesting aspect of time travel for the Flash is that changing things can create alternate timelines and dimensions. So whenever he changes something, it causes a branch in time where both the original scenario and the changes he made play out. One of the Flash's big villains doesn't actually move at super speed like he does, but rather manipulates time. So rather than speeding up, he slows time down and just appears to be moving fast. Could make for an interesting antagonist or lieutenant for Entropy. So you can take some inspiration there. Throw in some hunters stalking the party to keep them from altering the timeline. They could even be agents of Entropy. You could have the party cross paths with alternate versions of themselves, some of whom may be evil and trying to alter time for their own purposes. Or you could have a side villain who comes from the future and wants to take out the party for something they haven't done yet that altered the villains life to some tragic result. The loom idea is pretty cool too. You can take some inspiration from The Fates in Greek mythology, who wove time on their looms and created your destiny. [/QUOTE]
