[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 2152724, member: 8530"] I've used it before. The most successful was with our gaming group's 10 Year Anniversary game (a decade for both players and characters). A villain had used a time travel device to go back to the hour that proceeded our first game night, where the Army officer leading the group had been killed by orcs (seemed like a good way on night one to explain why they were all together but had no chosen leader). So this villain goes back in time, kills the orc leader before the battle, so the other leaderless orcs then get killed in the attack and the Army leader lives. He then goes on to lead the party through an alternate ten-years, which have them working for an autocratic military leader. This alternate decade also proves fatal for the six playing characters who are now dead in this new timeline when they shouldn't be. A deity's servant who had helped the party before tells this to the spirits of these playing characters. She then sends them to find a time travel device and go back in time to make things right again. They did this by inhabiting bodies - similar to DC Comic's Deadman. The climax battle had them inhabiting the bodies of the orcs to make sure the Army commander died. It was great fun watching them battle their younger selves. It was one of those concept games that could have fell flat but instead was enjoyed by everyone. [/QUOTE]
