Have a great year 760!

Post by Joël of the FoS »

Plenty of nightmares, things under your bed and horrible adventures!

And a Souragne Gaz! ;) And hopefully others!

---

Which reminds me of an idea I had. We should update the timeline - last canon timeline we had stopped in 755.

So boyz and ghouls, what great Ravenloft events happened in 756, 757, 758, 759 and 760? (yes, it's too early for Bloody Jack ;) )

Nice pic Des.

Happy new year everybody.
Happy new year Gotten.

Our sources are the Gazs, RL DMG, DT&DL, families of blood, VRGs (including VRGttMists), VRA.

Ravenloft PHB (3 and 3.5), Champions of Darkness and heroes of light, SotDR, and DoD (3 and 3.5) don't hold any information about the Timeline as far as I can tell since they are either rulebooks only, or have the timeline up to 755.

Happy New Year!

Oh, as we celabrate, Hazlik must had killed all the mulans...or at least released very nice fireworks through Hazlan ...anyway I don´t believe some Hazlani survived the turn of the decade 8) :twisted:

RLPHB says that in 756 BC Azalin sends "S" to start the Gazetteers.

Certainly, the twins' publications and associated experiences ought to rate a timeline-entry or two.

Drakov would most likely be that much closer to another attack. Likewise, Borca is in trouble.

If you go by the Heros of Light, The Blessed Army of Ezra are expecting an attack any time soon. The spy in their midst could have made his decision whether he was going to tell Nevuchar Springs about Lacrese's secret army.

'S' is either about to reach her fate, or she has met it. Whatever that fate might be.

That's all I can think of for now.

I think "S" journey "will" end in 762 BC (Take a look at the "Gazetteer Metaplot" thread).

I'd suggest that the numerous long-time PbPs - not mine, for that is running for too short time - like The Galen Saga or A Halfling Tells a Tale etc. are included. As well as Dion's adventure about the night that Vallaki burned and the recent FoS - changes. :) It's the players' world, after all.

I would add that in 758 the Bastion Secousse of the Dementlu sect would has died and left leadership to Caille insted of he forerunner Pineau. I had this spark the Ezra reborn plot I posted a while back but i have yet to playtest it to see what endings works best with it.

Well, good idea, but the Galen Saga can't be included.

Why?

Because for everyone who isn't a Taverner in the world, it never happened.

I'd love the Halfling to get a bit more coverage but unfortunatley 760 won't cover it (Halfling being set 50 years in the future). :wink:

I think Hazlik's plan should be ready, completed or failed by now.

Falkovnia should be stepping up its war machine.

And maybe something major and new should be starting up in 760.

Would there be no way to enhance the games somehow? - With the Halfling, one had a possibility that links the setting to a far future, for example...

I just would like to see fan work included in the timeline, for from what one can tell, RL will become a fan world from now...

:)

Well I suppose I could work on the alternate history time line that led to the current world the halfling characters are in. The events since 755 to 760 for example.

I second that.

Mr Mangrum did an extensive timeline up to 751, but the time afterwards had nearly no coverage, even in the official releases.

I'd include that *Halfling* adjustments as well as the FoS timeline (until their move to Souragne) and some articles from the QtR.

That's funny, the same thing happened in my campaign too. Is it enough to make it canon? :wink:
