Stotesbury bornOct 20  1899  Ground broken for Whitemarsh HallOct 8   1904  Whitemarsh Hall opened to societyFeb 26  1948  Stotesbury dies           1949  Whitemarsh hall sold to ???  (some unknowing organization)           1965  Whitemarsh hall abandoned, begins process of decayApril     1984  Whitemarsh hall demolished, bits & peices left to furnish park  In my alternate timeline, Stotesbury owes his great wealth to his ability to travel through time. He's not well educated, but when an aquaintance of his claimed to have invented a time machine he was shrewd enough to see the possibilities for profit, kill the man, and steal his machine. He quickly made enough money on a few trades to purchase the land the machine was built on. This became the site of Whitemarsh Hall.  Stotesbury also became fascinated with the occult and "mad" science as a result. Whitemarsh hall was always guesting mystics and scientists along with the cream of society.   With all the time travel and summoning happening in one place if not time, the area around Whitemarsh Hall has become unstable, and rifts in time and between planes sometimes just happen randomly.This will let me lay out some clues for characters to hunt down. *A child from 1900 transplanted to 1950. still alive present day, lives nearby*records of a modern day gang-banger transplanted to 1900. ended badly of course.  There are seven time periods I am concerned with, and to which the PC's will travel in an order I will determine later.1900  a relic is unearthed at the build site...American indian mystic possible involvement1914  slightly pre wwI, a Russian mystic1939  Slightly pre wwII, a German mystic1951  scientists studying broken time machine1978  ruined manor, cultists abound1984  during demolition, re-inter artifact (hopefully) Indian mystic may re-appearok, thats a rough outline of what I've got so far. I know it's pretty sparse, but will be fleshing it out over the next month or two. If anybody has any ideas please post them. I'll incorporate everything I can. My players know how I think, so I'd love to throw them some curves.Chris</blockquote>
