Timeline

[Dag'Nabbit]

OK, I am currently at the embryo stage to my campaign building before I begin a long awaited B5 campaign. One of the things that I want to do is put together a timeline that shows the significant events. I want to combine all the material from all the sourcebooks to date.

Now, has anyone done this all ready? If so, can I see what you have? If not, does anyone have any good ideas on how to build it and in what kind of program/format?

Final question is would anyone else like to see something like this from Mongoose? I was contemplating something that could be accessed from their web page, and that would be modified everytime a new book was released. Just another shameless plug to try and get the hard work done for me. :twisted:

I like it, it's definitely got a lot of detail in it. I just don't like the format. I don't know if I can figure out how to do it, but I wanna try to develop a traditional timeline:


______________________!___!__________!____________!_____

We've all seen something like this in textbooks, but I want to try to create one that's a bit interactive. Hold your mouse over it or click on a specific moment and get a more detailed report in a popout balloon or something.

This way I can put the information into a more friendly format for myself and my players to use. Just can't figure out how to do it.
