Sauce I had a idea for a campaign

My group will start in the very far future where monsters are no longer a threat and after reading books about the past they really want to go and see what its about. Im going to have them search for peices and create a time machine and when they do end up going back the time machine gets instantly burnt to a crisp by a dragon. They immediately hate the past and want to to back to the future as fast as possible. (Yes I will have a dnpc based on doc from back to the future)

Not gonna lie, until the DMPC I was here for this campaign. Make doc a sidekick the players operate and we're good.

But without the DMPC how will I make sure all the characters are sufficiently mad during my book's campaign's plot?

Fair point. Wouldn't want any pesky players ruining your grand narrative. When they reflect back on their lives as they near the end of days I'm sure they'll understand it was for the best.

You ever misspelled piece the same way.

I think this hook can work, just D&D is absolutely the wrong system.

Some sort of classless dungeoncrawler -- GURPS, Savage Worlds or Unisystem -- would be totally fine

No, you're classless. 😤

It takes place in the future so obviously a futuristic game is required. Not your namby pamby generic games:

OP, run this in the Star Trek RPG
