Mechanoids Invasion Dates

Unread post by Achalon1 »

I have the book, but can't find where it lists the date(s) for when the Mechanoid events happen.

Anyone?

Copied from a timeline I found somewhere:

Mechanoids, pp.15-17. It never gave a specific date because it
is presumably campaign-subjective, but I put it at the end of
102 P.A. in keeping with the order the books were released.

I just read through those pages and can't find anything. I remember reading it before, but can't find it now. I'm pretty sure it's just a reference, like Summer 102 P.A. or something, but it's driving me nuts that I can't find it.

Very few specific dates exist for events like this. If you read something like "summer of 102" it was probably in something loosely connected like a character description or something.

Did you look at the Edict of Planetary Distress? It might have a date for the warning?

we tend to get dates retroactively.. as later sourcebooks supply dates for events that occured earlier. you may want to check sourcebooks that involve ARCHIE-3 that come more recently.

I did a quick scan of Mechanoids, SB1r, Shemarian Nation, and Aftermath, and didn't find anything.

I don't recall a hard date, but Erin Tarn vanished during her trip in the Vampire Kingdoms in 101 PA and her next letter to Lazlo came in 103 PA.

Don't make vacation plans, it could happen any day now.

It is 2020 after all.
So what if I don’t know what apocalypse means? It’s not the end of the world!

Wildfires, hurricanes, murder hornets, mechanoids - yeah sounds right.

In WB4 Tarn's letter to Plato mentioned the mechanoid invasion and the letter was written in 103 PA.
