[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 1768244, member: 1014"] My feeling is that it is a bit of a waste to have a god of time without permitting [i]some[/i] kind of time travel. Even if it is only the god itself that can perform it. 1) The explosion heraleded the god's arrival in the current timeline. He has thrown himself billions of years ahad into the "future" in order to have a grand view of what is to come and how he can alter it to further his own ends. However, he did not anticipate the death of his own universe and the birth of a new one. He finds his powers greatly reduced in this new time frame and he is utterly alone. 2) The god of time is, in truth, very young. He is from the distant future and this was his first attempt to travel into the past. Unfortunately, he has dicovered that he can [i]only[/i] travel in to the past in leaps of thousands of years and his only hope is to go through the eons naturally until he gets to a point where he can convince himself not to make the inital jump. This would re-write "history" (the PCs future) and thus make the god of time a nice neutrally-aligned foil for the PCs. 3) The absence of the god of time is what [i]caused[/i] the current universe's big bang. He jumped forward, unwittingly destroyed his own universe, and the shock has driven him into slumber. Now he awakes. He can not time travel without destorying the current universe (and thus just causing the same problem all over again) but he wishes to re-create his former home. Again, this would be a nice foil for the PCs. Just some thoughts. [/QUOTE]
