From YKTTW Working Title: Replace The Dead Guy In The Past
Micah: I left out the Chrono Trigger potential-example from the YKTTW because it was confusing me; people who actually know the game should sort out whether it fits or not. Also, this example looks like Time Travel Escape, not this trope:
- In Gurps: Time-Travel they have a sample campaign where some Sufficiently Advanced Aliens seek out soldiers who were "meant" to die and make an army out of them. Presumably because Humans Are Warriors.
