[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7731319, member: 6925649"] Every character changes the World to some degree, that is what heroes do, their actions has to have some significance to the World at large, otherwise they are not being very heroic. One idea is that someone thinks he has built a time machine. Ever see the movie [U]Timeline[/U]? [url]https://youtu.be/d83NnJvqTz4[/url] An inventor builds what he thinks is a Time Machine, the way it works is that it expands naturally occurring wormholes from the quantum foam, it digitizes characters within the chamber, molecularly transporting them through a wormhole and then expands them on the other end. The inventor did this once before and sent a traveler back in time, and brought him back safely, the problem is a traveler can only use this machine so many times before the copying errors produce deadly effects, as multiple parallel universes are involved, one of the parallel universes happens to contain the World of the Forgotten Realms, only the inventor does not know this. He hires the PCs to go back in time and investigate 14th century Europe, but instead sends them to the Forgotten Realms, lets say its Cormyr for instance, and the PCs explore around looking for various landmarks in 14th century England, it appears they have landed outside their landing zone, but they find some knights in shining armor. How long do you think it would take them to realize they are not in 14th century England? [/QUOTE]
