Message: <blockquote data-quote="Conhail" data-source="post: 6707706" data-attributes="member: 6681703">Let's do the timewarp again!For several years, me and my group are playing a self-made campaign on a far away world  at which shores they stranded as refugees, after Fearûn has been  destroyed due an unknown catastrophe. Yet, even though we loved the  Forgotten Realms, we use Pathfinder as a system. Intrigued by the 5th  Edition of D&D however, we want to give D&D a new try.As said, according to  our long-time campaign, Faerûn is turned into a wasteland. Obviously, as  a DM I could let the group roll new characters and tell them that both  campaigns are completely unrelated and Fearûn ain't destroyed. Thing  is: I hate this. I am a fan of broad frame narratives that connect  plots, adventures, characters, etc. pp. I really try to avoid hard cuts,  thus even when we roll fresh characters, I like to give former PCs some  screentime as NPCs, etc. Doing that with Fearûn being destroyed is rather  difficult though, as I'd like to do some old-school adventures at the  Swordcoast.Thus, my idea was: the players, who somehow managed  to survive the catastrophe, follow an old mage through the ruins of  Deepwater. He wants to send the characters back in time on a mission to  do investigations on the origins of the catastrophe and finding a way to  prevent it. Because that's a mere frame narrative and shouldn't interfer too much with the adventurer-buisness, I'd rule that don't have any memory of their true mission (at least for the time being).But how could I handle the character background, which is now part of the character creation? Having a group of characters without any past somehow contradicts the whole background-idea and I'd prefer to have characters that are at home in their timeline, have connections, family, etc. Furthermore I'd like to ask whether there are any deities connected to time travel? I'd thought adding some sort of time guardians, who might no be pleased to see time travelleres meddling with time, might be a neat addition.</blockquote>
