T.I.M.E. Stories: New Dawn


 I know this board game series is probably dead in the water at this point. But if they ever finish off the Blue Cycle, I have an idea of what they could do for a 3rd arc. Maybe call is the "Yellow" Cycle. 

I have a feeling we are about to see a final showdown with the Elois in the final Blue adventure, so going from there, BOB is back and you're back at fixing the timeline in various stages of history. But the overall arc would have you discover one final Elois plan to disrupt the Time Continuity once in for all by attempting to reset all time with a device the agency must find and stop before all time is lost. 

It would have them traveling through the following timelines in order to complete there mission:

Prehistoric: Play as cavemen, avoiding dinosaurs, creating inventions and furthering along mankind's ability to survive. 

Knights of the Round Table: Welcome to the Alternative Timeline to King Author's world, where battling dragons, witches and other beast is a possibility. In line with the other 2 cycles this would be the only AT storyline in the 3rd season

Wild West: Survive in a small dusty town in the wild west where you can locate gold mines and old dig areas that continue to shape the landscape and reveal even bigger mysteries than ever before. But watch out! There's a gang out to get you if they encounter you between locations. Also, this expansion would have an Easter Egg of the same picture players save in the White Cycle for continuity purposes. (spoiler free post, so that's all I'm going to say!)

Jack the Ripper: The Ripper is really an Elois who gives your first clue in their overall plan to overthrow the timeline. But watch out! If you jump into the actual body of who the Ripper secretly is, your new mission is to go against your team and ensure they fail. The scenario would have different endings where you could be a double agent from that point forward.

 Roanoke: You're transported to the legendary colony from 1590 where you discover another sinister plot by the Elois that will wipe out the entire colony, including you! This will also be the first time players will be notified of a traitor in their midst (if Jack the Ripper outcome was played out in the last game) 

Across Time: This would serve as a "swan song" for TIME Stories as players will revisit locations from the first 2 cycles, jumping from one scenario to the next and even running into themselves at times. The Elois will finally be defeated and the Agency will get its "win"

(Sigh)

But this will never happen because it looks like no one's interested in the series continuing in the first place, so it's just a dream for me. 

Have a good weekend folks!
