[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 3491135, member: 13892"] Well, I've decided to give it a go, using either FR or The World's Largest City as a setting and cycling it forward a few aeons. And I'm going to run it in two different time periods, as follow: [list][*][b]Heroes of Legend (Before the Fall):[/b] Pretty much your typical D&D thing, with AoO adjustments from Iron Heroes and some optional rules from UA. [*][b]Legacy of Heroes (After the Fall):[/b] I'm going to use the bloodlines from UA to represent familial ties, as opposed to strictly racial ones, with the PCs playing decendents of the aforementioned Heroes of Legend.[/list] To be clear, I'm not going to run the campaign in two legs. That will work, yes, but it's [i]boring[/i]. Instead I'm going to rotate back and forth between time periods, with events that occur Before the Fall effecting the future (thus, shaping the world of After the Fall). As for The Fall itself, in FR it pretty much has to come about a result of tained movers and shakers which might not work well (i.e., the NPCs are pretty firmly ensconed as paragons of good and suddenly having the spazz out and go evil would shatter the suspension of disbelief). Thus, the WLC option looks more appealing. . . I'm thinking that I can handle the set-up (introducing key heroes, world figures, etc) in the first time period and leave the second devoted to the Legacy. And, yes, I know, I'll probably eat :):):):) for trying all of this experimental structure -- but if I can pull it off, it will be [i]awesome[/i] ;) [/QUOTE]
