Cancer Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Another stray RPG idea: suddenly every individual phonolite prism in Devil's Tower develops a glowing runic inscription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 It's the Americas -- why not some Olmec hieroglyphs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 with Mayan mathematical prophesy thrown in for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 What good is a mystical conspiracy if it isn't at least world-wide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Viking conspiracies do not stretch over millennia. They usually last to the next feast, and then they horribly murder their guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 What good is a mystical conspiracy if it isn't at least world-wide? But isn't the Mayan prophesy applicable wordwide? Just because it occurred in a local geological area doesn't preclude its relavence to the future of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Oh sure. It's just (as L Marcus points out correctly) that runes are not encountered natively in the Americas, so my "glowing runic inscriptions" on Devil's Tower are a bit out of place.

Just because it occurred in a local geological area doesn't preclude its relavence to the future of the world. Depends entirely on the prophecy.

Cancer Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I put some work into an idea for an RPG campaign in the Maya culture and abandoned the idea. It is just entirely too icky a situation, unless you are **really** into super-dark gritty games in totally crapsack worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 EG -- Excessively Gruesome. Just like their deities (apart from Quetzalcoatl). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 "Smoking Mirror" or "Dark Mirror". Quetzalcoatl's rival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 The one who got to be the sun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Maybe. There are so many conflicting versions of that mythology I cannot keep them straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 There were several gods who got to be the sun, I recall. One for each world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 It sounds cool, but once you pull it off you'll find it's overrated. Being the sun is intensely boring and on top of that you have to keep to a strict schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'd rather be God of the Supermassive Black Hole. Imagine that portfolio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
