Extended Fall/Pre-Fall Timeline - A Community Resource
This is an extended Eclipse Phase timeline. It covers ~150 events starting 60 years before the Fall. The list expands on the original 50 listed on P.37 of the Core Book and adds over 100 others found in the numerous available EP sourcebooks and supplements. I put it together for a Pre-Fall campaign I'm writing and figured i'd share it with others. I hope you guys find it useful. Sourcebook Review Status

Awesome
This is really amazing, thank you so much for making it. Blocking out spoilers was a nice touch. I liked seeing how certain characters kept popping up. Gives a nice feeling of continuity to the EP timeline despite the setting being largely a blank canvas for GMs to play with character wise. I'm surprised at just how much you found to put in here, I'd seen most of this lore around the place but putting it all together gives a very different impression than the disjointed fragments scattered about. I suppose that's a bit intentional, no-one really knows everything, and a lot of things are presumed to be open information, or for the Fall especially not something they'd want to talk about much. And then, of course, there are the secrets and the information that has been actively suppressed. I wonder if anyone has done a post fall timeline? Would you be willing to expand this to be a timeline up to 10AF? All I know are a few things like the Morningstar Constellation forming in 6AF, and at least one Pandora Gate being found 5+ years ago because Synergy was out of contact for five years. Having rough ideas of how long since the factors showed up could be nice, for example, if that's ever been actually stated. I know some of that is deliberately vague so GMs can mess with it at their leisure, so it may not be feasible. Thanks again, this is really neat.

I've just started adding AF events. Though I could use a bit of help, originally my sole interest was in Pre-Fall events and I'm not excited of re-reading several of the books cover-to-cover a second time to cherry pick the Post-Fall ones. I put up some guidelines for making contributions to this list, so if anyone wants to pitch in, I welcome the help.

I can add a few things, and I
I can add a few things, and I'm bouncing around through the books now so if I do spot anything I'll make a note and mention it here.

Nice!
wow! That's a lot to work with. Counting back the exact Pandora gate discovery date using other provided dates was especially impressive. I've already started adding some of them, and will likely be at it a while. Good Work!
