What is the year?

Unread post by dragonfett »

Does the Three Galaxies have a standardized calender, and if sob, what is the current year?

If that doesn't prompt you to buy it, I don't know what else I can say.

Which helpfully means that the year is also
Today 109PA 2395AD 10,000 T.E. (I will admit that I am still trying to pin down the current year in P.F. sorry people)
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Unknown. The First Era featured the First Race, the birthing of the Cosmic Forge and the evil of the One. (It was also, apparently, an age of rampant capitalization).

The Second Era lasted long enough for the Elder Races to rise, and ended with the War Against the Dominators (50,000 years ago iIrc)

Then came a dark age.

And then, about 10,000 years ago, the current races started their turn.

I actually just stumbled upon this info at the beginning of Fleets of the Three Galaxies, it states that the 1st Era began 20 Billion years ago, and the 2nd Era began 5 Million years ago. But thank you all for the replies.
