Kirby Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: Need a Name for a Temporal Prison The game's Time Cops (ANACH) have a stasis prison where time does not pass.I wish this had stood out to me the first time. With "ANACH" the prison should be Anachronism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metaphysician Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: Need a Name for a Temporal Prison Temporal prison location, Atlanta: just before it was razed. Not so much a where as a when. - - - On that note a thought on temporal prisons: Earth: ∏: Leavings the criminal on Earth just before the Sun evolves to it's next stage. Give them a Heat based beacon so once it gets too hot to survive they are moved back to to the initial point. I would say the beacon is a global function and nowhere near the criminals. Say on the side of the Earth that is experiencing night as opposed to the one facing the sun, where the criminals are placed to while intered. Now the question is how does one prevent the expanding # of instances of criminals in the same time period. How about a swap when the beacon goes off. That is to say that the body of the criminal being saved just before the heat level becomes fatal is switched with the body of the instance ten minutes or so earlier. So although they are saved each time just before death, they are also killed an infinite number of times. That sounds like a good way to twist time into horrible knots. I'd be disinclined towards that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinecone Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: Need a Name for a Temporal Prison The game's Time Cops (ANACH) have a stasis prison where time does not pass. I'm not using the prison itself tomorrow in the finale of this run of my campaign, but I do need to drop the name. So suggestions are welcome. I picture it as a small pocket dimension where they haul away the worst of the time altering villains. It's likley very sterile in nature. Thanks.

CrosshairCollie Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: Need a Name for a Temporal Prison So, a place where time stands immobile ... effectively solid? How about Hard Time? I do like the simplicity of 'Time Out', though. Singularity Confinement? If the inmates escape, will they be called Tempus Fugitives?

Basil Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Re: Need a Name for a Temporal Prison "Hard Time" Which is, after all, well established slang for a jail term in a federal or state penitentary. Probably slang rather than an official name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Re: Need a Name for a Temporal Prison Despite my best manuevering the topic of the time prison did not come up in the final game; Mostly because one of the principal heroes wasn't present (the one who has ANACH as an enemy). So I can think about it for a long, long time, since I probably won't resume this campaign for at least a year. 6 game session... about 70 hours of gaming... took about 4.5 months to resolve. They're now only about 2/5 of the way through my master plan. I get the feeling I will never fully complete this campaign. I'll be dead long before then. Gives new meaning to leaving them wanting more I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
