RttS: Gregorian Year Timeline (Patreon)
Content
Still mostly been doing writing this month, but here's some I can actually share.
So, I've been plotting out history in RttS and things finally got complicated enough that I was forced to put everything on an actual calendar timeline. I had avoided doing this beforehand because I typically don't give things I'm writing about Official Numbers unless absolutely necessary (ironically they can make things more complicated). I also don't like talking about the year in RttS because people tend to view science fiction as an attempt a prophesying the future, but RttS is actually an alternate history— so human technological progress and expansion is not congruous with reality at all.
Ask me questions about specific events and I'll try to reply with a guesstimate of the year that they took place in. This timeline is currently mostly human-centric, since it is, after all, using a human calendar system.
