I thought about that at first too, but after looking at it a bit better I
didn't really see anything wrong with it; all it'll be used for are the
spells and rules clarifications. Same with Awakenings: I will use its
rules for things like spell signatures and focus addiction, but the
in-game texts aren't available until '57.

I'm stickin with the dates in the books, and probably make items available
slightly before the earliest date, but likely add a few unlisted flaws to
the occasional item, to represent it being a pre-release, test version.

This succeeded. Even the player who was the main cause of the troubles
agreed that it was a good idea to start again. he only didn't like not
having all those toys he's gotten used to :)
