I'm moving on to stage 3 of my history project: Age of Adventure (End of 1st Sathar War to beginning of the 2nd Sathar war- also know as the Age of the MegaCorp)<br />RE: The timeline article in issue 16 <br />and (RE: the History of the Capella System and associated timeline in Zebs Guide to the Rim coming out in issue 18- I'll try to get the rellevant material posted in the Zebs Guide Expanded project soon)<br /><br />My goals with the project are:<br /><br />1. to tell the "story" of that history since a story is easier to read then a dry collection of dates.<br /><br />2. provide a timeline that is as free as possible from inconsistencies or things that dont make sense.<br /><br />3. Remain true to the spirit of the canon, harmonize all the available material though departures may be neccessary. Precidences goes to AD & KHs and modules as primary, Dragon and Polyhedron mags as seconardy and then Zebs as bottum rung. <br /><br />My Methods:<br />1. I'll be working up another article but will act as a project lead taking imput form anyone that posts here: I'm looking for feed back, challenges and ideas as I think that will make a better final product. Anyone posting in this thread any comment of value will be listed as a collaborator.<br /><br />2. I will wrestle to harmonize as much as possible and only after wrestling with things opt to leave something out or change it in someway. <br /><br />3. I strive for what I call "Zero Sum Change"- what that means is that while I might make some non canon changes the end result must be the Frontier as we know it. To give an example: if you read my timeline article in 16 then you might remember that I made some significant changes concerning Terledrom and Fromeltar but in the end its still a High population system populated by vrusk and Dralasites. <br /><br />Striving for harmonization and Zero Sum Change should give this article the widest possible acceptance. <br /><br />The Zebs Controversy: Some of us are purest and dont accept Zebs while some do so I'm planning to produce a timeline that strongly focuses on the UPF and minimizes mention of the Rim and CFM. The CFM is canon to KH so I wont not mention it but I plan to craft a document that will be usable by both sides of the ZG fence (or produce 2 timelines that allow a GM to choose). <br />
