Wandering the World
That sounds cool. like, really cool.
Had other idea, running from my previous one: Assiti Shards NES. Or, in other words, ISOT NES.
Basically, we pick several cities from the present (or the future, which would be even better) and drop them in a past time, around the Bronze Age, for example. Downtimers (name for the people from the future) are in limited number and do not know much about the place where they are, but they have the advantage of having technology, an advantage that may, at any moment, vanish, unless they work to supply themselves with what they need. Meanwhile, uptimers are already established and are more numerous, so they could easily overwhelm the downtimers.
Downtimers could, of course, try to establish themselves as gods thanks to their technology (Clarke's third law) or could use that technology to "upgrade" their neighboring uptimer nations and create a great empire (as in 1632, but bigger).
We could either go with players being only uptimers, or we could go with players as both uptimers and downtimers.
And all of it could go tied to my previous ideas.
What do you think?
Creativity is king here, bizarre is good!
