NOTE: This page is a placeholder until I can get something more stylish put together.
This page contains links to a series of timelines generated for use with Transdimensional T.M.N.T.. For now, I've only included Cycle "Prime" as I've not yet touched prior cycles, though I intend to map out Cycle "A" in a similar fashion at some point.
As you may have noted in referencing the book, the dates given for the various twists and cycles assume a current year of 1988 A.D., a date long past. I decided to write some custom software that could recalculate the dates given alternate "current" years (ex. Twist "Null" of Cycle "Prime" is 2005 instead of 1988).
Due to Palladium's somewhat restrictive usage terms, I cannot release the software to the public. What I can do, however, is release the output the program generates. That's what I'm doing here.
It should be noted that there is an error in the book itself that places Twist "5" one hundred years farther in the future than it should be (which shoves Twists 6, 7, and 8 one hundred years too far into the future as well). For the time being, I've decided treat the error as a genuine error and ignore the possibility that Twist "4" maybe should be considered 225 years long instead of the standard 125 years.
Note that I've also included all of the more probable micro-twists (aka whorls) as detailed on page 89 of the book. I've used the same naming convention for the whorls as the book does for cycles and twists.
For the time being, I've done every year from 1985 up through and including 2020. Note that if Twist "Null" falls on or before June 10th, 1986, Twist "8" will be accessible to players (i.e. it'll be in front of the Third Millenial Barrier). If there's a year you'd like to see posted, feel free to email me and I'll get it put up (it literally takes me less than one second to generate these tables for any given year).
I might as well point out a pretty nifty world timeline site, too, to go with all these new potential time travel years. See it here. Note that I did NOT design that site and I cannot guarantee its accuracy.
