... maybe they step into this.
Roll - Destination
1 - Alien city (see above) during an important ritual. There is a 50% chance the visitors are welcomed as emissaries from the gods and imprisoned in a palace of alien pleasures (if only the PCs could digest the alien food) and a 50% chance they are treated as intruders and put to death by a thousand searing rays.
2 - Step into a cellar at the moment Aleister Crowley is summoning a demon; Crowley must pass a system shock test or suffer a heart attack. His patrons may not take kindly to the intrusion.
3 - Pass through an atomic feedback flux loop onto the starship Warden. Everyone must pass a saving throw (vs. poison) or suffer a mutation.
4 - Find themselves in a cluttered wardrobe that leads into wartime England. They are welcomed by a man in a natty suit (Merlin) and pressed into a mission to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
5 - Walk into the lowest level of Castle Greyhawk with no memories (though spellcasters retain their memorized or prepared spells) of how they got there.
6 - Step into a massive submerged cavern and the grand council of dolphins. A dolphin mage will work fast to summon up airy water.
7 - Awaken in a brilliant woodland on Midsummer Night; cavort with fey both good and evil.
8 - Find themselves on a barren world as the representatives of Law in a gladiatorial combat with their opposites from another universe as the representatives of Chaos.
9 - Enter a padded cell of Bedlam asylum, where they must save a mad woman from the machinations of Fraz-urb'luu, for she alone can open the portal back to their world.
10 - Step onto a solar barque making its way across the skies of a mythic earth, moments before it passes into Hades.

Well played sir. Particularly like options 1, 2, and 4.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there have been enough modules, source books, etc. that make use of portal fun; at least not since Judges Guild.

I am so grabbing this for my V&V campaign. Awesome job (as always!)
ReplyDelete4, 9 and 10 fill me with delight. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to get my dimensional-gate-through-architecture campaign up and running. If I ever do, I will use this table. Even against my better judgment.
Great stuff for Fringeworthy or a generic campaign based on Sliders without some of the limitations on location they imposed in later episodes.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Another vote for 4 and 9. That first pic is remarkable.
ReplyDeleteWow, that picture is like Lovecraft tripping on Futurism.
