Not the best day for schedules, I’m afraid. Long story, not relevant. Got this done, at least.

Senate Select Subcommittee on Time Travel (Timewatch)
It was a tough day to do work, so I had to push myself a little.

This is a long-term project: I need to not forget how to write gaming material on the regular.

“Villains of His Story” is based on a concept that I might some day pitch to a gaming company. I’m not pitching it now because, honestly, I don’t have the time to do it. But I still want to.
Happy McFlyday Eve!
Tomorrow, of course, is the anniversary of the first deliberate, controlled time travel event involving a human specimen. And he even made it back! …Eventually.
My games (Dragon Age and @TimeWatchRPG) at @Washingcon are up.

South American Diving River Elephants
(This writeup is meant for use with the TimeWatch RPG.)
Stats: as per Mastodon (pg. 161), with the addition of Oracle (1) and Psychic (Mind-Reading) (2)
Well, of course you’ve never heard of them. They’re not just extinct; they never existed in the first place. When Timewatch came across these critters, they were already close to dying out on their own – seriously, who thought that a species of five-ton animals could be evolutionarily suited for diving into piranha-infested waters? – so naturally the organization grabbed all the Diving Elephants that they could, on the principle that it didn’t matter, right? And then they went back further in time, and grabbed all of those Diving Elephants, and then they did it again, and again, and eventually TimeWatch decided to eat the temporal instability and simply grabbed the species from the start, thus preventing Diving Elephants from meeting their dubious destiny with applied evolution at all.

Tachyon* Tagger [GURPS 4E, Timewatch]
Tachyon* Tagger [GURPS 4E, Timewatch]
A Tachyon Tagger typically looks like a small wand. When pointed at something else, the Tagger irradiates the target with a stable particles that travel backwards in time. This means, effectively, that any scanners that can detect these particles will be able to track down the item in the past. The exact ‘frequency**’ of these particles can be specifically set, allowing for only someone with the right ‘signature’ to track the item; or it can be set to be detectable by all scanners. Either way: the temporal range for these particles is about two thousand years before they decay, and most scanners will only be able to pick them up within a thirty mile range. Amusingly, the user has to jump back in time in order to confirm that the Tagger worked: this device cannot be used to track an item into the future.
