[QUOTE="The Amazing Dingo, post: 1767741, member: 23353"] Heya all, One video game that I've come to love is Soul Reaver. One aspect they really play up in the series is the aspect of time, fate, and destiny. Anyway, the campaign I'll be running is in the mid-levels where I think the PCs ought to really begin to interact with some of the higher powers (though certainly not to any great extent, but at least start to get a taste). As such, I wanted to introduce a former god of time. I'm not sure who it was over in one of Henry's threads (the one to brainstorm a last room for a extradimensial wizard's keep) but someone mentioned a god from a former "time" (namely one that existed before the last big bang). That idea latched into my mind and has slowly been growing. So that is what I'd like to run with in my campaign. I think a former god of time would fit well with being able to survive after the universe implodes upon itself (since time would continue to go in some weird metaphysical fashion). In the campaign, a mountain in the far north recently suffered a magical explosion. One of the results was to send large shards of rock into a magically levitated state that have been drifting apart. I was thinking such an event would be a perfect way to introduce this formerly dead (or at least hibernating and now alive again) god. Perhaps he was buried beneath the mountain and is now exposed? Perhaps his body was adrift on the Astral Plane and the magical explosion was enough to draw his body to the Prime? Perhaps something/someone tagged along with him to the Prime in his/its transition? Anyway, I was wondering if the collective power of Enworld might once again aid me. Any thoughts on what I've stated above? Also, any randoms ideas - perhaps interesting time traits that might inhabit the area or weird phenomena that might occur? Thank you! PS - I do not intend to do any time traveling, despite Soul Reaver. I think that is a can of rabid, carnivorous, human eating worms...at least for the moment. Given some more time and consideration maybe, but only on a limited type of thing. Thanks again. PSS - I have read WizarDru and PirateCat's Story Hours. Their use of such a creature was masterfully done and I'm hoping to at least come somewhere close to such. [/QUOTE]
