Message: <blockquote data-quote="paradox42" data-source="post: 5671236" data-attributes="member: 29746">I ran a nine-year game using 3.0/3.5/Other that ended in January 2010, right around the time of Pathfinder's original release, and we went to very, very high Epic levels during the course of it. The setting featured genuine time travel spells starting with the 8th-level Time Shift, and we did several time travel plots as a result. Time loops occurred several times over the course of the entire campaign. My advice would be, be sure your players are into it, and know in advance that a time loop is possible. The best time loop plots in my game only worked because the players were into it, and thought a time loop was a cool thing to do, so they went along with it when one came up. One of the best examples of this that I can think of was the PCs hearing their own voices over a communications link, presumably their own future selves completing the plan they had only suggested mere seconds before (and not even finished fully discussing, let alone implementing); when the PCs who made the plan and heard themselves talking came around to go back in time and complete the loop, they did actually complete it- rather than trying to to something different and cause something crazy to happen. For your book plot, it would be really easy for players who aren't into the idea to screw it up by throwing monkey wrenches into the works. So make sure they're not really interested in doing that, before you start the plot. If they are into it, then hey, good luck! You'll have quite a cool story to (re)tell once you're done.</blockquote>
