It's different core gameplay -- my basic setup is based on the sabotage of core history, making the PCs figure out what happened based on the historical ripples, then travel to fix it.For instance, in a recent game, North America is settled by the Chinese instead of the Europeans. Turns out that the mongol army that was about to attack western Europe in 1242 didn't stop in its tracks and turn around as they historically did. The TimeWatch agents found mountains of skulls where Paris should have been. They had to figure out why, ingratiate themselves with the great Khan, and lay a clever trap for the saboteur who would changed the course of the world. Good times -- they ended up running a 17-year long con in order to pull it off.For The Ark, you may want to consider HEX, Savage Worlds or the new slimmed-down FATE.</blockquote>
