Notes
Lola Marie has become "unstuck" from her original timeline, it happened while her then-boyfriend was in the middle of a crisis. Somehow she jumped timelines  to two other similiar timelines to her original one.
 She has a bit of guilt over the other versions of her boyfriebnd that died in her presence.

 Its now been a year and a few months since her first Timiline jump...she is trying to discover the limits and capabilities of her new power. There seem to be people  who are following her . Lola doesn't like the way they look at her . Good thing her power activates when she runs.

 If she just believes.....

Sort of.  We did a world jumping/dimension jumping/time-line jumping/time travel campaign a number of years ago, but we used a conglomeration of BTRC's TimeLords (1st ed), Time Line's Morrow Project (1st ed), and Tri Tac's Bureau 13 (2nd ed I think).  Loads of fun and by having several rotating GMs, everyone got to play.

After I got GURPS 4, I had been planning to run a T&D hopping game in which the palyers where 17th century pirates who got roped into traipsing across the universes in search of the lost formula to all life by an interdimensional giant octopus supervillain.

Sadly it never got past chargen.

i did a dimensional hopper back in undergrad (late 80s/early 90s) but we used CT/MT for it.  

i generally stay away from time travel, tho.  never wanted to deal with the paradoxes etc.  do love me a good Who episode, tho!

Quote from: SpikeRun, Lola....


....Run.

:p


 BINGO!!

 I was inspired by this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs5dSqVmRbQ

...when I made that character .  Definately would still love to run a timeline-hopping campaign if I could just figure out an angle or trick to it. Lola Marie here would be one of the possible NPCs that the players run iinto.
 NOT more powerful than them or less so - just interesting and a bit different from them.

Yeah it might be a "necro" - but it was my thread in the first place.
