Is anyone here planning a cron set before the events portraied in the game?
I know some of cache's are partly set in the distant past, but what about with a hundred years?

Is anybody considering such a course of action?

Pardon my ignorance, please, but what is a cron?

Cron = chron = chronicle

I'm planning one more series set in the distant past, but nothing closer to recent times. Bear in mind that the full range of events described in the game span several centuries, if you include the historical information on the Tyrants.

The chronicle I'm planning for just after my next series will go back about 30 years, but it'll be set on another world for that period.

On another note, part one of North Island, with any luck, will be out the door before next week. Posted Image

You know Ody, that name feels really weird to me, since New Zealand has a 'North Island'! Posted Image We should look up Bryce's name for the island, and use that.

Unfortunately, Ody, I think there's already quite a lineup for chrons- at least 3. At least Slayer won't have anything to complain about. Posted Image

The chron I'm writing is about two or three years from where the Alraeican Tavern is where right now. I don't plan on writing anything in the past, although I -do- plan on writing one in the distant future, as you'll see. :P

Hmm, the name for the northren island - It is called the 'Northren Continent', the individual empires on it have various names, the one that would most concern trade would be the 'Costal Empire', which can be found on the south-southeast coast of the Northren Continent. I'd suggjest refering to CTGJ and the CTGJ web site at:
[url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/abryce/.Public/cythera/maps.htm"]http://homepage.mac....ythera/maps.htm[/url]

and also:
[url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/abryce/.Public/cythera/iempire.htm"]http://homepage.mac....era/iempire.htm[/url]

Information on other peoples in the Northren Continent can be found by browsing the site.

Thanks Talm. Hmm, looks like my cron will be on hold a little longer. I should have looked at board **, eh?

I was considering doing one. But I'm not sure if I will.
