Composite Timeline
By Timothy J. Lanza
Special Thanks to "Fresca"

This timeline was something that came up years ago when me and Fresca were first discussing a merger of our two RPGs: Lunar IRC RPG 2 and 4 at the time. What started off as an idle conversation eventually became a coherent, connected story line. However, there were still a few inconsistencies.

As we continued to throw around ideas, we made another connection; the Phantasy Star similarities. As the time line below illustrates, the connections are uncanny. It still freaks me out just reading it sometimes.

The sum off all this talk over all those years was this RPG, Lunar: Stolen From Time.

Please Note: Timeline is NOT to scale. Placement of events is only to indicate relative order, NOT the time between each event.
