The campaign timeline is based on the published material for the setting. It is also incorporating multiple settings into the one storyline to make a unique setting. This is a work in progress. The Shadowrun world for this campaign will be a blending of the actual shadowrun universe with other settings I am familiar with. The concepts of Shadowrun will be there in each of the ages as will various other science fiction aspects. Players can choose what they are willing to participate in, and which timelines they experience. What happens in the generation will effect those that follow, there will be planned reveals, and things that just happen. Actual historical dates will be taken from source material and integrated into the campaign timeline. |
