Subject: Adventure dates
Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 19:32:16 +0100
As I mentioned in another post, my group decided to start a campaign back
in 2050, and play the various FASA-published adventures in order (or as
far as they'll get before A) everyone gets killed or B) it gets dull to
have so few toys :) To that end I decided to browse through my collection
of adventures and look at the dates mentioned in them, in order to place
them in chronological order.

The table below shows the results for the adventures I own, but I'd like
to fill the gaps -- I'd appreciate it if those with adventures that aren't
on the list post the dates in a similar manner. The dates in the table
are, where possible, taken from the newspaper handouts in the back of many
adventures, and as such they would represent the date on which the
adventure is supposed to have been completed by the players. If the date
comes from another source, it's noted on the table.

Date Adventure FASA no. Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
??-??-2050 Silver Angel 7102 Can take place almost
any time.
12-02-2050 Mercurial 7302 Date is from player
handouts.
17-08-2050 Dreamchipper 7303
??-08-2050 Harlequin 7306 Can take place almost
any time; date is from
player handouts.
12-12-2050 DNA/DOA 7301
15-01-???? Queen Euphoria 7304 Most likely 2051.
15-01-???? Bottled Demon 7305 Most likely 2051; same
date as Queen Euphoria.
10-05-2051 Missing Blood 7205 Adventure from The
Universal Brotherhood.
08-06-2051 Ivy & Chrome 7311
08-09-2051 Dark Angel 7313 Intro says "The year
is 2054."
23-09-2051 Eye Of The Eagle 7202 Adventure from Native
American Nations
Volume Two
09-10-2051 Dragon Hunt 7307
26-10-2051 Peacekeeper 7202 Adventure from Native
American Nations
Volume One
14-11-2051 Total Eclipse 7308
20-05-2053 Elven Fire 7310
25-08-2053 One Stage Before 7312
10-06-2054 A Killing Glare 7314
??-12-2054 Paradise Lost 7317 Dates are from sourcebook
section.
??-??-2055 Harlequin's Back 7320 Can take place almost
any time.
07-08-2057 Super Tuesday! 7322 Date is from Dunkelzahn's
Secrets; can take place
almost any time in 2057.
01-01-2058 Mob War! 7326 Date is beginning of
adventure.
??-??-2059 Predator And Prey 7324 Can take place almost
any time.

One thing that appears is that the first published adventure (DNA/DOA)
isn't the first -- Dreamchipper at least plays earlier; in Mercurial the
only solid date given is in a player handout with a text written _before_
the adventure, and Silver Angel has no date on it at all, except the
standard "The year is 2050" blurb at the beginning.
