[QUOTE="Super Pony, post: 6124198, member: 6669292"] Perhaps Nobilis style gaming could work? That can get super abstract, and it's diceless. You could have players that are the embodiment of Pi...trying to round off the corners of the multiverse. At any rate, there should be a lot less dice rolling and more far flung planning and crazy role-playing. Maybe something like the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rip"]Big Rip[/URL] is pending (in a billion or so years), and the player characters need to create, populate and evolve an entire new reality so that they can begin the process of evacuating the planes. You could deal with issues of selective vs open evacuation (do we allow the demodands, extant deities and other "badness" in our new multiverse or leave them to be torn asunder?, etc). Maybe add something like the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Races_in_Revelation_Space#Inhibitors_.2F_Wolves"]Inhibitors[/URL] from Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space book series to oppose the PCs and up the ante. You see, while the PCs are talking evacuation, the Inhibitors are going the opposite direction. They are going to save the multiverse from the horror of the big rip...by puppy-coffining reality one plane at a time "[I]sorry old yeller...bang...sniff sniff[/I]"...on to the next plane. What's more, the inhibitors are at least as high level as the PCs so direct confrontation could actually cause more problems than it would solve. SO, the PCs really have to work in a race type scenario to see how much they can save before it all goes rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiippppp...and in the end...do they allow the inhibitors to evacuate?
