Key to Continuum Campaign Notes

This will help you figure out who's who and what's happening in the other post. Consider this a Key to that post.

Those events are listed in level chronological order, covering the spans in 2005 and 2006, but mostly in the contested month of May, 2005. It may be hard to understand what's happening unless you bear in mind that sometimes the cause of something takes place at a later date than the event it caused. That's what happens when every PC can time-travel at will.

Guide to characters in my Continuum Campaign -

PCs Corner aka Lab 336 aka The Short-Bus Spanners:
Dale Dubois - NPC - PC's mentor - Span 3, but not terribly worthy, engaged in a long-running time combat with Brock that's keeping him from helping as much as he'd like with the PCs.
Pam - PC - Played by Sarah Bergstrom. Child prodigy. Nerd. Math-wiz. Unfortunate birth-mark.
Kelly - PC - Played by Liam Rapson. Ex-marine. Screw up. Flashbang! His Yet is a mess. He may be a Narcissist. The best unintentional villain ever. Liam, take a bow.
Elizabeth - PC - Played by Kristie Rice - Campus cop. Was police, but burned out over disturbing case.
Aaron Northbridge - PC - Played by Jeremy Rice - Art Professor. Chai Addict. Experiments with Drugs.
Lee - PC - Played by Rob Daley - Law Professor. Elderly southern gentleman. Think Matlock.
Emily - PC - Played by Amy Smith - Jock. Newest spanner in group, doesn't understand what's happening.
Kail - PC - Played by Kevin Smith - Slacker. Rocker. Secretly a murderer.
Calvin - PC - Played by Eddie Dethlefs - Narcoleptic. Cricket Player.
Shaun - NPC - Jock. Screw up. Member of PCs corner. Major plot device.

Major NPCs -
ProfG/E - NPC - Minor Villain - Narcissist, but incompetant - Being used by Brock - Math professor at the college. Had two names in campaign, one from when he fought Hitler, the other from when he hid from Continuum after killing Hitler. So, in one sense he's a good guy, and the Continuum is evil. He's now mostly hiding out, but runs afoul of the PCs when Kelly blows it trying to find out if he's a time-traveller.
Roger - NPC - Span 3+ - Investigating ProfG/E, Brock and Dale. Needs to know who the real villain is.
Brock - NPC - Real Villain - Next to zero screen time in Phase I - Real sicko - Using ProfG/E - Engaged in multi-century time combat with Dale
Izzy, aka Countess Isabella - NPC - PCs new mentor after Dale screws up. She's a Span 4, and acts quickly and decisively. She becomes instrumental in Phase II.

Minor NPCs and red-herrings:
Lana - NPC - Leveler - Grad student. Unaware her mentor (ProfG/E) can time-travel. She has a large role, but is mostly a red herring, and opportunity for Kelly to fail.
ProfG/E's TA - NPC - Leveler - Tool of ProfG/E. Teacher's Aide. Does his grading, unaware Prof is a villain.
Jennifer - NPC - Minor character. Friend of Emily. Tool of PCs for a scene or two.
Homeless Man - NPC - Poor drug-adled crazy man who keeps almost witnessing Spanning.
Pam's HighSchool Nemesis - NPC - Never occurs on-screen, but did horrible things to Pam the previous year that motivate certain actions.

Locations:
L336 - Location - Restricted Access Laboratory that is PCs "Corner" or HQ. Whenever a scene is here, it includes all of the PCs corner (Dale, Shaun, + all PCs) unless otherwise specified.
Lab 337 - Location - Restricted Access Laboratory that is Brock's HQ - Junior (white-period) PCs are there, being experimented on by Brock. He's the one who taught them to Span, but most have Yet of being good spanners (Kelly's just a screw up). Nuclear isotopes and EM fields prevent spanning in.
Rochester Clinic - Corner in Aquarian Age that Izzy takes PCs to in an effort to get them away from Brock's influence. This starts Phase II.

Astute observers will note: Parts of this plot were taken from a scenario synopsis in the main Continuum RPG, but then fit into a larger more sinister context. To make it worse, that's a Span II scenario, and I threw it at newbies. I also played with an twisted subtheme of Continuum - the "good guys" are often immoral an unethical, but they survive to write the history books. Dirty, rotten, bastard GM. Phase II was even more ambitious, but I'll have to post it some other time...

I expect a lot from my players, and they did not disappoint. Kudos and applause to everyone who played.
