Have you ever run or played a campaign where a player character

>>51312764
Yes. I played a time-traveler in M&M from an Age of Sail before the collapse of civilization 12,000 years ago.

Time-traveling is a really dumb power in M&M.

The beginning of Final Fantasy X seems a lot less simple when you describe it like that.

>>51312764
Literally my current character. Lived through the apocalypse, got trapped in a time bubble, got out of it a few thousand years later.

>>51312764
In a Chrono-trigger inspired fantasy game right now, that describes half the party. Some of us are two apocalypses removed from each other.

You must be thinking of a different game beccause you play as a Summoned Monster with it's own agency not a time traveler.

Less simple? As opposed to describing as him being a dream of the collective memories of a bunch of ghosts embedded in a wall on top of a holy mountain who gets pulled into the waking world because his dream father was morphed into a giant lovecraftian whale god as part of the perpetual cycle the of the parasitic bio-magical WMD known as Yu Yevon?

I mentioned the beginning specifically. Before we find out all of that on Mt. Gagazet. Which is more than halfway through the game.

Separate but related idea: I have wanted to run a fantasy game in a post-apocalyptic scifi future.

Sort of like Nier or a version of The Dying Earth where the world is actually recognisable.

Speaking of final fantasy i'm just reading the rules for the tcg now and i am unclear on one thing.

Can you block an attacking forward with more then one forward or not it seems not but it never outright states it.

Also holy shit they should have picked a better name for the vigilance affect

I had a similar character who came to the modern day from a Conan-esque pre-history
That guy also ended up in another game set in a slightly modified Freedom's Reach, he really got around

>>51318377
Yu Yevon isn't a WMD, Sin is the WMD. Yu Yevon is just the summoner that made it out of the corpses of tens of thousands of his fellow citizens of Zanarkand to fight Bevelle

actually, that is what all the Fayth are.

>>51312764
Yes.

And I will tell you that in any time-travel story, there's an incredibly fine line between it being done right and being done terribly wrong. Fucking hell, can it go horribly wrong.

Have you ever run or played a campaign where a player character was literally a figment of an eternally sleeping soul's imagination?

This goes all the way back to the Quantum Lich.
