Aloïsius Member posted 04-12-2001 09:51 AM I was too late for the industrial gnomes thread. Many folks want to start a new. But for starting a realy new similar thread, we first have to find a "what if", as good as Edena's "what if the gnomes...". I propose we post a lot of "what if" idea, and then make a poll to chose. It could be a monthly pool, and a regular feature of the board. Then, after choosing the "what if", the setting and the referee(s), all participant submit characters/factions, and the referee(s) give them power indications. (I propose more than one number : diplomatic power, military power, economic power and magic power) then the referee(s) set time limites for the war, something like a rendez-vous on the board. It coul look like a PEBM, but quicker, shorter, simpler, and with much more fun. The referee(s) doesn't need precise rules, only (some)neutrality and (a little)imagination, and free time to spent. Ok, no it's time to post "what if" *what if magic spring into a non-magic medieval world? this is the reverse of Edena's questions. *what if a magical disease, involving a retro-virus start among the various race of a world, causing DNA permutations : the gobelins are "mutated" into kenders, the orcs into satyres, the humans into bullywug, and forrester into an elf . The disease spread slowly but inexorably, and only one specie is not affected (Illithid). *what if someone discover the elixir of eternity, and sell the recipe to everybody. Soon the world will be an overcrowned place... *what if a one way gate is open between a classic D&D setting, and Earth 2050, with futuristic human invaders. *what if the gods suddenly stop to give spells to their followers. (no more cleric...) etc, I'm sure somebody will have more ideas. IP: Logged Aloïsius Member posted 04-12-2001 10:08 AM another one *what if the soul of the dead don't depart?
