[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2766182, member: 12332"] Yea. In fact, NOT doing so just really sounds like bad grapes to me. If you're going to walk in with this Deus Ex situation where ultra-powerful things are everywhere and all of the PCs are but pawns in the games of extra-super-mega-over-Gods and everything can blast them to splinders or make them Gods or just give them really bad gas with the merest touch, and yet they have to make it through without touching the WRONG super-mega-godhood item... Why on earth NOT? Getting yanked out of Nowhereville 90210 and slapped into The Matrix is just as unbelievable as getting yanked out of All The Magic Exploded Because We Opened The Box and slapped into The Matrix ... when you're THAT FAR OUT THERE ... I have to say, man, that if this sort of plotline is indicative of what your games are like, then NO WONDER somebody has problems figuring things out. I'd have probably run screaming into the night after a few sessions. It sounds like you have some meta-conscious super-plot based around a reality entirely of your own imagining and you can use it as you wish and everybody else has to figure out what you're thinking. Gods and super-items and Time Lords and entire dimensions created for the sole purpose of dumping the kitchen leavings. Boot up the TARDIS and have Dr. Who rumble on by and save her. --fje [/QUOTE]
