I think they called it a time wave. Large chunks of land and it's inhabitants from prehistoric times got mish mashed into the present. <abbr><em>kaeosdad’s last blog post..<a href="http://symptomsofmadness.blogspot.com/2009/04/aloha-rpg-bloggers-network.html" rel="nofollow">Aloha rpg bloggers network!</a></abbr></em> I read this book called Footprints of thunder that ended with a mass world fall where the past came into the present.

I knew of the secret wars (that's when Spidey got the black suit which would become Venom, right?), but didn't know that was the story behind them. Interesting.

Ameron Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:30:31 +0000 http://www.encounteraday.com/?p=456#comment-1164 I really like this concept. It allows you to cherry pick the best bits of many different campaign setting and squish them into one game. It also keeps players on their toes because they can't accurately predict what kind of monster or NPC they’ll encounter over the next ridge. This concept was used in the Marvel comic's Secret Wars back in the 1980s. A god-like being called the Beyonder created a world from a mish-mash of pieces of other worlds. It worked then and it should work now for D&D. Good idea. <abbr><em>Ameron’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DungeonsMaster/~3/BQ2qFIN1fZY/" rel="nofollow">Cheating in Dungeons and Dragons</a></abbr></em> I really like this concept.
