PLAYER PLOT INFO | Contact not found


As of December 1st, the following characters don’t exist:

They were never here. You’ve never met. Your characters don’t remember anything about them.





What about NPCs / animals / records / their stuff?

  • Animals and NPCs don't remember them, either.

  • Their stuff is here, but characters will face an overwhelming urge to write this off or explain it away.

  • You can implement this however you like, and however your character’s brain would try to smooth things over. Inconsistency is a feature, not a bug.

    • For example: Lazar is overconfident, so he remembers making Viktor's inventions himself.

    • But another character might also believe that they made those things, or that they were purchased, stolen, have just always been there; etc.

  • Upon reading reports or records of forgotten characters, others will need to overcome a strong mental block. They will have trouble explaining who those mentioned are, and must reconcile the written word with events they have an entirely different memory of.

    • For example: Julius was a mage, and Seneschal, but this must be referring to former mage Seneschal Pizzicagnolo. And there was no Clarisse driving the chariot race.


Figuring it out:

  • Feel free to have characters notice inconsistencies, come to their own conclusions, brainstorm solutions, etc.

  • Riftwatch will not be able to end the effects early, but memories of the affected characters will return after a week IC.

  • This doesn’t have to happen at the same pace or time for everyone. You can also remember some details before or after others. Whatever!!


The forgotten team:

  • You were looking into Venatori time magic experiments. You dealt with it, and their attempt at a time bomb; culminating in a surprise, final confrontation before you were quite ready. The details are weirdly fuzzy, and your stories may contradict.

  • Upon leaving, you’ll find everyone has forgotten their past interactions with you. This will last about a week IC.

  • You remember each other, and your friends at home, perfectly. *




* It will take a week for you also to remember that Isaac exists and was on the mission with you. He disrupted the device. It’s unclear what happened after.
