Continuum Links and Resources

While the Continuum roleplaying game of time travel is still relatively new on the market, having debuted in May of 1998, there is a seeming dearth of websites devoted to the game and its products. The list of links and on-line resources below is by no means complete, and I am constantly ready, willing and able to update these listings and add any new Continuum listings to this file of resources. If you know of any new listings that are applicable to this file, or can provide me with any corrections and the like, please send me e-mail.

Continuum RPG Web Sites

The company that produces and distributes the Continuum RPG is Aetherco. They have an Official Continuum page, devoted to the Continuum RPG, and this page also provides a link to their partner in the endeavour, Dreamcatcher Multimedia.

Another site for the game is David Trimboli's Materials for Continuum page. This has a couple of scenarios on it, and a calendar so far.

David Trimboli also has set up an interesting little thing, a free form Continuum game called The Yet, which was doing pretty well at one point, but I'm not sure that it's still active.

Time Travel - Science

Timelike and Lightlike Shells in a Spherically-Symmetric Spacetime from CERN. This site provides some of the calculations that you'll actually need to travel in time. Most of us will want to stick with the simple Continuum dice method of doing so. <g>

Time as Seen by Philosophers Throughout History. This site provides an excellent installment at the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, from the University Of Tennessee At Martin.

HyperHistory Online. This site provides a grand timeline of Earth, that is still expanding in depth.

It's About Time. This site is a good introduction to Chronology page, written by Jack Krugman

A Walk Through Time. This site is from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and has some terrific material on it.

The BBC Science & Nature: Time Travel page is an interesting section of material on the subject of time travel.

The How Stuff Works site on science has a very neat, very simple set of pages that provides a good primer on time travel and some of the accepted theories of how this might work.

The PBS series Nova did a show or two on time travel and the pages about this can be found here.

The Stanford Unversity set of pages on Time Travel and Modern Physics has some fascinating material on it, for those of a mathematical inclination.

Continuum RPG Mailing List

There is a rather nice Continuum RPG mailing list that is hosted by Ben Melhuish, a self-described "dilettante gamer." The mailing list is completely separate from Aetherco and Dreamcatcher, and may prove useful to new players and GMs to voice opinions, complaints, ideas and questions to one another. To subscribe to the mailing list, send blank e-mail to continuum-rpg-l-subscribe@topica.com.

Note that the message must be blank, although it doesn't matter what you put in the Subject line of the post. There will be a verification notice sent to you, along with a request for authorization notice that you'll have to respond to.
