06-06-06, 08:53 PM Genius adventure ideas for those who though 6/6/06 was "the end of the world".

1. A lawful good High Cleric of Pelor has declared tommorow will be the end of the world through recent studies. That night the town is thrown into chaos preparing for the end, prayers are made, cultists make sacrifices, defenses are built up and thousands and thousands of gold pieces are wasted on the divine protection of the town. After the sun arises and all await their death, nothing has happened. The day passes without chaos, the town guard holds the Cleric locked in a dungeon. There the town councilmen decides the cleric's fate...

06-06-06, 08:58 PM 2: teenagers everywhere start ranting about religions they know nothing about, and do a variety of stupid, dangerous things.

It's up to the Pcs to beat every one of them senseless for their own good....

06-06-06, 09:04 PM Genius adventure ideas for those who though 6/6/06 was "the end of the world". They're silly for forgetting the full date was 6/6/2006, or 2006/6/6, depending on your country's format. The real 6/6/6 date was 2000 years ago.

Last time I checked the number of the beast was not 662006. Idiots.

As for adventures,

3) A local drunkard babbles daily about the coming of chaos and the End Times being near. All ignore the drunkard and passerbys either laugh and go on their merry way or beat the poor man out of spite. Later that evening, the stars and later the moon itself is suddenly blacked out by an amorphous mass, while the frightening droning of monotonous flutes echos through the skies. Sailors also report a collosal black mass rising from the depths of the ocean...

06-07-06, 01:30 AM we celebrated our weekly session with pizza, beer, a stack of Slayer CD's (it's nationaldayofslayer.org btw) and killed dracoliches.

oh.

it's also international beat up an emo kid day so we talked about how much emo sucks.

06-07-06, 01:31 AM sorry for the ooc. it really is the end of the world for Waterdeep btw. In our current game the YOTRD has taken a turn for the worse and armies are sacking the sword coast.

06-07-06, 10:35 AM You know the number of the beast is actually 616, right? That 666 thing was a mistranslation.

06-07-06, 04:01 PM Well, I had a good laugh at school seeing the shocked looks on the religious fanatics at our school 's faces (there are many) that were ranting about it.

06-07-06, 04:52 PM <4> A religous fanatic of a popular Lawful Good deity misinterrupts the teaching of his patron and deems a certain popular game played by the town's masses as vile. He further declares that as punishment for playing this game, the Lawful Good deity will destroy the world on the date of 06/06/06.

Nobody really cares and the Wizards cabal, which lives in an ivory tower on the coast, who creates the popular game continues to turn a high profit.

I heard 696 as well as 636. By now, the second digit could be anything.
hmmmm
06-07-06, 05:11 PM Even 6(Pie)6.

06-07-06, 05:38 PM Even 6(Pie)6.
Especially 6π6

BTW, that's pi, unless you are reffering to a baked food composed of a pastry shell filled with fruit, meat, cheese, or other ingredients, and usually covered with a pastry crust.

06-08-06, 12:53 AM Here is an idea for a dark and evil campaign; a 'future' lich secretly binds his to either a player or an npc that is close to the players. They do this by binding their soul to the person's skeleton, making that person their phylactery. Maybe not a wise idea, but maybe the choice of an insane and spiteful one. Could be concealed by powerful enchantments to alter the person's memory since I would image such a process very painful.

06-08-06, 02:13 AM The "666" as the mark of the beast is actually just a string of descending roman numerals: DCLXVI

Much of Revelations is directed entirely at the Roman Empire, which, to Christians at the time, would have seemed like an incarnation of ultimate evil, I suppose.

The beast with seven heads? Rome was originally built upon seven hills.
Most of the other images were either metaphors for the roman empire, or traditional Jewish symbols of the "End Times."

PLus, even if the "06/06/06" date had *any* merit at all....it would have happened already. Due to the errors of a Franciscan Monk, out current calenders are "off" by about three years or so. Ie, the year 2000 *actually* occured in '96 or so.

06-08-06, 11:52 PM Just to add to what Mindshred has said:

I believe that the Book of Revelations was originally written in Greek. And in ancient Greek letters had numeral value, and the numbers 666 were believed to have been the numeral value of Nero, the first roman emperor to oppress Christens.

If you place coins in your minds eye, the passage mentioning 666 being used for the buying and selling of goods makes sense, since Roman coins (and most money across the earth) has the face of famous, or in Rome’s case, current leaders. Nero was believed to have died before or around the time the book was written, but he was so fear by Jews and Christens that they feared he would return from the dead.

And just yesterday, I made a Caesar salad using lettuce that was best used by "06/06/06"... (which was the day before last) and I’ve been feeling a bit evil since then…

My teacher got p.o.'d at some guys who said that the world would end. He rebutted with the fact that the number of the devil is not 6606, and that the actually 6/6/6 came and went before the calendar was even invented. Think about it. There were no evils happeing on the 6/6/06 of 1906, 1806, 1706, 1606, 1506, 1406, 1306, 1206, 1106, 1006 etc. so why would there be this year?
