 ====== Timeline of Gotham ======
-Dave,
+Over fifty years, Gotham's original flaws of neglect and greed tear the fabric of the city apart to expose its dark, rotten core
-Let's use this page to create a [[Microscope]]-Generated timeline.  Each bullet point would represent a [[PERIOD]] card, with sub-points to represent how they may be modified by an [[EVENT]] or [[SCENE]].
-**BIG PICTURE:** Over fifty years, Gotham's original flaws of neglect and greed tear the fabric of the city apart to expose its dark, rotten core
-**[[PALETTE]]:** This is a list of things we want in our campaign, and things we don't want.  Let's just throw these in a list here for the time being.
+===== Periods and Events =====
-===== PERIODS AND EVENTS =====
+  * [[HISTORY START]] : The main gangs of Gotham have taken root and just begin to choke Gotham's prosperity and optimism (DARK)
-We'll take turns adding a [[PERIOD]], an [[EVENT]], or a [[SCENE]].
+  * [[Industrial Period]] : During this period famous [[industrialists]] built infrastructure including roads, sanitation, and most notably bridges in Gotham to try to improve the city's prosperity (LIGHT)
+  * [[Immigration Period]] : This period of increased immigration from overseas - particularly Italy and China - helped to fuel the city's growth, but also brought on more strife (DARK)
+  * [[The Victorian Legion|Period of the Victorian Legion]] : During this period, a group of gentlemen adventurers teamed up to help free Gotham of crime, only to be ultimately defeated and destroyed from within (LIGHT)
+  * [[The Great Gotham Fire of 1911|The Great Gotham Fire of 1911]] This period followed a blaze that destroyed a large section of the city and led to a period of civil disorder and unrest until the damage was repaired (DARK)
+  * [[The Roaring 20's|The Roaring 20's]] : This was a period of sustained economic prosperity with a distinctive cultural edge (LIGHT)
+  * [[The Great Depression]] : Following the stock market crash of 1929, this period of Gotham's history marks the severe downturn in the economic status of the city (DARK)
+  * [[CAMPAIGN START]] : The beginning of the campaign in Depression-Era Gotham with all gangs represented (DARK)
-Let's make the first round of focus be on other heroes and hero groups.  The second or third could focus on gangs.
