Incidents

I love histories. Probably why I like RPG settings. They design elaborate histories that I can read and wonder about. Plus they generally leave the mind open in an exercise of future possibilities.

As that goes, I am re-reading Jovian Chronicles and all the history in between them. The curious thing about this world is originally Dream Pod 9 released it as an expansion to the Mekton system of TSR. The irony is that some of the original background is laid down in these two supplements that's referenced by the system DP9 later released themselves. So sometimes the reader is left with rather sketchy details to events in the past that shaped the future greatly. It's frustrating because the defining moment in the history of that world (ask the Martians, they got a real black line to designate their equator) is, as far as I can tell, detailed in that first release and only briefly outlined since then.

But it's getting late. Perhaps more later. Perhaps not.
