Reference: hexarchate/heptarchate timeline

[yhlee]

Since this campaign involves time-traveling, I thought some of you might enjoy having a basic timeline for reference--among other things, those of you with h*archate OCs can decide which time period you're from. (You don't have to decide this straight off; you can leave it open/undetermined.)

Feel free to add important dates for your own characters in comments if you like, and I can update this to include them.

Edited to add: I do have some additional dates (like major book characters' birthdates and so on) that I omitted in the interests of abbreviating this thing. If you have questions about specific things that are not on here, I'm happy to answer--just leave a comment.

NOTE: italicized events/etc. are probably not canon (e.g. player characters or AU events).

re: Move 1

[yhlee]

A player character has asked a question re: mission leadership in Move 1 and I'm opening an OOC thread to ask what y'all would like to do. Please read the comment over there, then respond to this post with your thoughts. (I'd do it over there, but we're up to 80+ comments on Move 1 already, which is going to be hard on folks playing the game over mobile, so I thought a new post for discussions would be best.)

To reiterate:

[GM/OOC: Before I respond to this, I would suggest that a logical mission leader should have some kind of history with the resistance (so, not a newcomer) and, ideally, military, intelligence, or diplomatic background as well. Does anyone in the player group want to volunteer? If not, I'll assign someone based on GM judgment and/or hilarity.]
