[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1767990, member: 151"] Why, thank you. :) You can take this one in a couple of different directions. One idea would be to draw on Neil Gaiman's 'Sandman' series, and use 'Destruction' as a model. Perhaps the deity resigned and just 'dropped-out'. He's too powerful to replace or remove, but he's refused to do his duties, and now the universe is beginning to feel the strain. Or maybe he did pass his powers on to another, and it's had terrible consequences. The PCs might have to hunt him down, and then convince him to resume his mantle, or tell them how to stop his replacement. Another tack would be to focus on the god being inadvertantly released or exposed to the prime. Maybe he was contained in a prison in the distant past, and then that prison was buried on the prime. Now he wakens, and threatens the fabric of time. Imagine if old enemies from the past and new enemies from the future were to start appearing and disappearing, alternately amusing and threatening the players. Villians they have no knowledge of or connection to suddenly appear and demand revenge...for something that hasn't happened yet. Other ideas: the Githyanki have discovered the body of the forgotten god in the Astral, but their tampering has thrown their new-built city right onto the prime. Most of the githyanki are killed when the god shrugs his shoulders, but the new ones on the prime begin a war of conquest...or do they merely wish to return home? Could the Lich Queen seek his power, or perhaps the forces of more sinister beings are at work? Perhaps an evil god has decided to try and re-awaken or re-involve the old god, to distract everyone while he makes a play for something else entirely? I got a million of 'em, here. ;) [/QUOTE]
