[QUOTE="Baduin, post: 3796148, member: 45562"] I would note one thing - many settings describe a situation after a catastrophe - scattered settlements, ruins of ancient empires etc. I think that in such a setting it would be best to treat the published original state of setting as the final limit, which cannot be passed. On the other hand, the next editions could reveal the history of the setting - they can describe what happened earlier. If the starting date is 9000, the next edition can be set in 8500. That way the setting can be developed - the designers can reveal the glories of ancient times, devilish plots etc, but they will never intrude into your campaign. It would be relevant even for those who play in 9000 - they could discover tombs, last survivors waiting in stasis, ancient spellbooks and artefacts, ruins etc. New campaigns could start in 8500 or 9000. In both cases you would be sure that no one will introduce any changes into the setting - since the third edition would describe eg year 8200. [/QUOTE]
