I'll be running an "Amber/Continuum" crossover with high-span
characters.
Game description:
Continuum is a realistic time-traveling role playing game. It uses both
diced and diceless resolution. Amber (ADRPG) is a fantasy/sci-fi game of
the Machiavellian family which is the realest thing in the universe,
possessed of cosmic power to change reality around themselves.
Familiarity with Continuum is not assumed, or required.
The plot itself centers around a family which has rebelled from the
Council Courts. Players portray the children of the patriarch, Oberon.
From their city, Amber, deep in the Sagittarian Era (c. ~17,000 BC) they
thumb their noses at "The Swarm."
Character creation:
Contact the GM at dewhirst@wpi.edu at least one week before TBR with a
list of top-three preferred elder Amberites (children of Oberon). Please
also state your experience with Continuum and History. ("none" and "Mel
Brooks" are acceptable answers)
For more information on the History/Futury of Continuum, see the following

Events to be put into a timeline/chart:
* Dworkin came Down from "The Council Courts"
* Amber City is built atop Mt. Kilimagaro. "Totally not a volcanoe"
* Oberon The Great is one of the 42 kings (Dworkin is another, but we
won't speak of him). Some whisper that he is destined to be one of the
(9?)
* Oberon had several spanner children (in violation of the traditions of
The Courts)
* They are as yet young Narcicists
* Amberites of the 2nd generation (Benedict, Corwin, etc.) are initiated
into Spanning through the use of Dworkin's great working, a genetically
keyed initiation kit. (an engineered blockage in Oberon prevented his
tween kids from spanning pre-initiation)
