I guess someone will have to write a list of events and assign to them an a= rbitrary date... If it's ok for you, Angelo, I'll ask people at the italian mystara forum if= they know of some other exact dates and if they have suggestions. Are you = subscribed to the new MMB or should I send a message there too? Also to ann= ounce the existance of this wiki. I would also prefer, at the moment, as we are just at the beginning to writ= e the DAY ENTRIES, to just use (for the DAYS) canonic material or MA materi= al, to avoid confusion. I don't want to see things like "3 flaurmont 387 BC= - Badman the Orc and Koppo the Dwarf found the Kingdom of KWWHEIUWIUHW on = the easternmost tip of Davania" from all minor campaigns and/or undeveloped= ideas and too many conflicting issues! Any ideas any other? Giulio =0A=0A=0A ___________________________________ =0AScopri il Blog di Yah= oo!
