[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 3050131, member: 11697"] I've used something similar in my campaigns before: Campaign #1 - one PC began the game waking up with no memory and only a sword and his clothes (and a glowing gem in his ankle) in the gatetown bordering upon the Gray Waste. Recovering his memory and what actually happened to him was interwoven with the plot for the next year or so. Campaign #2 - all the PCs woke up on a cold metal floor in a maze-like tunnel system (in Acheron), the faint odor of Styx water in the air, and no memory of how they got there or who the other PCs in the room with them were. _____ Amnesiacs are a yummy plot device, and you've got something interesting in the works here. I like the other guy being a 'captive' as well, but it's always fun to play with the PCs notions and perhaps lead them to think that he might know more than he does, even if he doesn't. Perhaps he was behind it all, whatever is going on, but has lost his own memory as well and now the experiment is running blind. It might be fey, it might be fiends, it might be a group of wizards behind it all... the PCs might be dead already. Lots of ways to go with it. Let us know where you eventually do go from here. :) [/QUOTE]
