Title: Timeline: Separate or Combined
Post by: NicholasHMCaldwell on May 10, 2007, 11:14:35 AM

Requests have been made for a timeline of the Tintamar universe. Is there a preference for a combined timeline (human & alien) or two distinct timelines (one human, one alien)?

Best wishes,
Nicholas

I would prefer a combined timeline. It's always nice to see how the other species are doing at the same time :D

Hi,

I would prefer a matrix table, one column for humans, one for aliens - the rows are years (or centuries/millenia). So you can drectly compare, but always know what belongs to whom.

Well if they are not combined, they should be able to be viewed at the same time, so that comparsions can be made.

perhaps a conceptual system of dating events (i.e. not in the game, but for ease of looking up different timelines in the book) could be used.
