Redemption

Synopsis: Time-travellers from 8 million years in the future come back to the present day to prevent a horrific war from ever starting. But did they travel back far enough? Already, Quintesson meddling is causing unrest among the Primitives...

This TP ran in the spring of 1997 and remains one of my all-time favorites. It was based on a one-shot roleplaying session I ran for fun in the hotel room of some Botcon or MushMeet or another (in that version, Grimlock was the primary antagonist). I remember sitting up all night, typing out my rationalization for why themestaff should allow time travel, and the seemingly-endless conversations with Whiz and the other staffers to hammer it out into a form that couldn't be abused in future roleplay.

My primary regret is that the timing of the TP was such that it fell across Sky Lynx's player's final exams, and so he wasn't able to be as prominent a player in it as we all would have liked.

I think the story stands the test of time, though. Enjoy!
