This idea was taken from a comic book called Hunter-Killer. In it, there's this dude who's visited by a time traveler who tells him how the world's going to end, and so he works to prevent it... and the future changes, so that he's only bought himself a few years. And this cycle repeats over and over, with diminishing returns, to the point where he's only buying the world a few months at a time. Thanks for catching that, it’s fixed.

Sylvain Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:04:25 +0000 http://www.encounteraday.com/2007/12/27/the-chronastic-assembly/#comment-157 This really is a genius scenario. It has so many possible variations that one could tailor up. For example, if you were a lazy/unimaginative DM, you have the PCs working for the Chronastic Assembly, but the fate they are avoiding takes place hundreds, perhaps thousands of years in the future. You'd do this for two reasons: it doesn't put an immediate pressure on the party, and since doom is so far in the future, whatever the PCs are doing may only have small ripple effects, so that while they ARE saving the world, it also doesn't have to make much sense, and the C.A. can just claim they know what they're doing. Also, you can edit the first line of the sixth paragraph if you like. "Needless to say, the Assembly this is a desperate time for the Chronastic Assembly." This really is a genius scenario.

“Needless to say, the Assembly this is a desperate time for the Chronastic Assembly.”
