Happy birthday, etherlad!

(And, according to wolfspoor, this date in 1924 marks the official start of the Adventure! timeframe. Useful to know.)

EDITED 2:56p TO ADD Ian's evidence (mentioned below) for the proposition. From p.12 of the original Adventure! rulebook, p.10 of the d20 remake, paragraphs two and three under the heading

Welcome to
Adventure!

What time is it?

No, it's not a trick question. And I don't mean what a timepiece says. If you move those experimental aviator goggles over — it's a design Danger Ace is tinkering with, and I'm sure he'd be glad to explain it when he gets back — you can look at my desk calendar and confirm that it's the first day of June, 1924. Behind me, with the Great Bone Spear from Borneo's gorilla people on one side and a gear from a Sanguine Promethean robot heart on the other, is a clock that will tell you it's just after 1 PM. But that's not the kind of time I'm talking about.

It's implied more than stated outright. It's the first little bit in the book, where Max asks the reader "What time is it? Yes, although you can see the clock over there on the mantle that it's just after noon, and the calendar over there on the wall says it's June 1st, 1924, that's not exactly what I meant."

From memory, of course, but there you have it nonetheless.

Er, that's me. Sorry, using my gf's settings on the computer.

But thanks for the birthday wishes. (:

You're quite welcome, chief. (-8 And QX about the usernames; over on INL, I'll occasionally respond as Marcus to an OOC post relevant to Carr or vice versa.

And you got the quote's essence, even if you didn't reproduce it exactly. In fact, you tempted me into adding it to this post, you master of dissimulation. (-8
