Hello guys,
So, I've finally started to enter some entries into my RW, about the universe setting I'm playing in. As mentionned in another post, the universe I'm playing in is vast, and has a lot of background (around 5000 years of past history).
From my campaign point of view, I don't need to explain all those 5000 years of history, but could be using them to explain the world in a quest (ancient ruins exploration, which lead to the discovery of a not well known fact in history for example).
So I tried to create an event, with multiple entries, one entry being one special date. You all know how history books are written, and I barely have a precise date. (cleopatra, better known as cleopatra 7, was born in -69BC. Was it in july 3rd ? None knows). Such is the past history of the universe.
My first date to enter in RW is dating -40 000 bc. And it has given me headaches since I don't figure out how I could enter this date in RW. I use a gregorian calendar, and I must chose a very precise date. But I have not found yet how to enter a very specific date, such as -40 000 bc, or 4 000 ac. Do I need to take 40.000 * 12 clicks in order to write that date down in RW ? Or is there a way to simply type a date ?
My problem here is that I would like to use the timeline when all the entries are done, so I can see easily how the events went before starting to try explaining my players how history had folded in the universe (or if they ask me if that event was before or after another event).
Any ideas on how I could get this done in RW ?
Many thanks guys for the help !
