CR

The CR Era is the final era of the Quelmar Timeline. The CR era formally begins the year after the sinking of Kiston, and the defeat of the World Destroyer.

The CR Era can be considered two eras. Parts of Quelmar hyper-industrialized after the second war against Tiamat, riding the momentum of the Industrial Revolution into full blown Cyberpunk territory, resulting in places like Alpha Complex and Night City, while other conservative areas of the realm continued to modernize in fashions that resemble Earth's 21st century.

About

Year in the CR era can be referred to in their CR nomenclature, but another popular "global timeline" nomenclature became popular in the CR era, which made the year 0 PR into simply year 2290 (the sum of the last 2 eras).

As such, the CR era can also be said to comprise the years 2290 to 2885.

Behind the Screen

• Because the CR era was created to emulate proper planet earth for systems built on assumptions of a modern-day earth, there is an easy shorthand on comparing a given system to a Quelmar year, depending on when on Earth you are trying to set it:
  • Quelmar CR Year = Earth Year - 1900.
  • So campaigns like Sparrow's Point, Secondary Character, and Metagame feel like they are set between 2003 and 2017.
  • This is a shorthand and an easy cheat, but not necessarily always 1:1 true depending on the needs of the fiction at that time.
