Release dates for power armor in NA
Posted: Sat Aug 05, 2017 6:48 pm
I've started off my group that I've been running for a few months now all the way back in the Timeline with the Archie adventure in sourcebook one. Right now we are just about done with the Mechanoids, barring a couple groups that escaped and will cause problems for some one or another later.
Having just started finishing up my collection of books that have released since the last big series of rifts there are a lot of cool goodies in the northern gun books but not a lot of specifics on release dates so I've been considering going back through and figuring out when what came on the market. The big cut off for those is the UEL links since there was a specific date (105? 107? somewhere in there, not sure off the top of my head.) that the first armor with those released so anything else with those must be after that date. But not all of the other books have quite that amount of help in the release dates.
I was strongly considering going back through and tagging every book by its publishing date, and using that as a rough reference to slot it into the PA time line when it is not explicitly established. Then using the date that the book takes place during that would give you a rough date that any equipment in it is available at. Anything called new in a book that should hit spring 105 PA would be new about then, where as anything first mentioned in that book without any information about a date but called widely available was probably several months to a year before then to give it time to trickle out into various communities.
If anyone has already put together a list of bots, or note-able vehicles armor and weapons by date, or books by publishing date I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. flipped through the first few pages of the forums here but didn't see anything I thought was applicable. If there isn't such a list up I'll try and remember to throw mine up here as it shakes up.
