[QUOTE="Travis Henry, post: 7616188, member: 6985696"] I'd like to see WotC have a cross-world storyline which ties together the iconic characters from all editions and worlds and times and realities* of D&D. All the heroes join together to fight a multiversal threat, which has gathered all of the iconic villains from D&D history. Like DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths, or Marvel's Secret Wars. *("Realities" refers to different "game universes" (e.g. AD&D 2E Reality vs. D&D 3E Reality): [URL]https://sites.google.com/site/dndphilmont/d-d-realities[/URL] ) The heroes? Every iconic or pre-generated character and every named adventuring party, from every edition, and every D&D product: [LIST] [*]Aleena the Cleric, Hawk the Fighter, Clarion the Cleric, Fleetwood the Fighter, Felonius the Magic-User, Greegan the Thief, Rolf the Dwarf, Belain the Elf, and Touchberry the Halfling from the Mentzer Red Box. [*]The Kids from the D&D Cartoon Show [*]The LJN Action Figure characters: Strongheart the Paladin, Mercion the Cleric, Elkhorn the Dwarf, etc [*]The 3E iconics (from Oerth): Regdar the Fighter, Mialee the Elf Wizard: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons_iconic_characters[/URL] [*]The Heroes of the Lance [*]The Wizards Three: Elminster, Dalamar, Mordenkainen [*]Drizzt and the Companions of the Hall [*]All the heroes from the D&D films, video games, novels, advertisements, and comic books. [/LIST] etc. The villains? Every iconic villain from the D&D Multiverse. Tiamat, Takhisis, Orcus, Acerak, Vecna, Tharizdun, Venger...all of 'em. Many of the lesser-known characters would just be "easter eggs" in the background, seen only during gigantic battle scenes. But there'd be a "who's who" appendix or something which gives their name and source. The medium? A mega-adventure, along with comic book and novel tie-in. The result? Not cataclysmic...not destroying the worlds. But rather, a coherentizing. In the process, all adventures, novels, films, etc (and even odd things like characters seen on the AD&D beach towel), are officially placed in one (or more) worlds and timelines, and all timelines are given a numerical continuity designation. (The Transformers continuity is the most sophisticated example of this; even more complex than the Marvel and DC world-numbering system.) Also, cross-world play is made more accessible via gates. For more about the timelines, see: [URL]https://sites.google.com/site/dndphilmont/timeline[/URL] What heroes and villains would you like to see in the fray? [/QUOTE]
