The following is a brief over view of the 5 Time Frames that we have open at this point... 1205 is our Low Fantasy Time Frame. The background for it has been researched in depth, and it is set against a historical backdrop that is fascinating. In addition to the historical figures that you can deal with, we have added in some of everyone's favourite fictional characters. Robin Hood, Merlin Ambrose, and NPC's of our own creation will delight you. It should be noted that several of the people that might appear to be fictional, such as Prince Arthur are actually legitimate historically accurate people. The Magick level is 3 (Magick is fading from the world) and the Psi Level is 2. There are a few Magickal artifacts around which have a higher Magick Level, but they are extremely rare. 1895 is set in the historic city of San Francisco, and is a mixing of a number of different genres. Barbary coast pirates, Gothic Horror, Oriental Mysticism, Victorian Mystery, Old West gunfighters, and Wellsian Science Fiction mix in a combination that will have you doubting what your character sees, while leaving you ever eager to explore further. Recently, the Time Frame has withstood a Martian invasion, and while parts of the city are in ruins, the rest of them are rebuilding using the shipping, gold, and railroad fortunes that run the town. 1990 is a nice Time Frame for Technothrillers, Detective and Mystery buffs, as well as the people who like the Corporate Oppression of the Cyberpunk Genre. It is a great deal more violent than our world, and also has the supernatural just moments away. The Magick Level is 1 as is the Psi level, although there are currently no characters allowed to have such powers as beginning characters. 2025 is a Post WW III world that has a few interesting twists. The first is that the Magick level is 4 and the Psi level is 3. This means that certain aspects of life tend to be a little bit strange. In all, the Time Frame has the most variety in it, although if one of the other time frames has what you are looking for, you will find the aspects are less diluted in them. Swords tend to be just as important as guns in this world with manufactured goods including Ammunition being in short supply. 2605 is a far-flung future game that breaks most of the boundaries of the genre. Magick is at level 5 (The Highest) and so is Psi. The Races of Man have gotten off of the planet, only to find the entire universe lined up against them because of our knowledge of Magick. A bit of Space Opera mixed with liberal amounts of political intrigue, interstellar war, racial tension and a touch of fantasy. Referenced By Up
