 <p>This last was funded by a (wildly successful) Kickstarter campaign. One of the stretch goals led right back to the roots of the universe: a system that could be adopted to roleplaying.</p>
 <p>Powered by the Apocalypse is a tabletop role playing framework developed by Meguey and Vincent Baker, originally for the game <a href="http://apocalypse-world.com/"><em>Apocalypse World</em></a> but later publicly released for anyone to use. This provides ample opportunities for anyone seeking to make their universes collaborative to do so with low overhead. It seemed like a perfect for a setting so focused on stories, given its low emphasis on mechanics and focus on the storytelling. <em>Post-Self</em> in particular uses the minimal hack <a href="https://buriedwithoutceremony.com/simple-world"><em>Simple World</em></a> which aims to reduce complexity even further.</p>
 <p>A perfect combination.</p>

+<p>In this setting, your story takes place more than a hundred years in the future in a time where humanity has figured out how to upload consciousnesses to a digital world called at first simply the System (a holdover from its early days of secrecy, so vague a name as to keep discussions hard to trace) and later, after a launch of two smaller copies out of the Solar system, Lagrange, Castor, and Pollux.</p>

+<dt>2115 &mdash; February ??</dt>
+<dd>The first partially successful upload leads to a breakthrough and, shortly after, the foundation of the System.</dd>
+<dt>2124 &mdash; January 1</dt>
+<dd>Systime set at year zero, day zero in order to help manage the reputation market, the primary means by which expansion within the initially quite limited hardware of the System is controlled.</dd>
+<dt>2125 &mdash; January 21</dt>
+<dd>The System secedes from planetary governments on Earth, making the process of uploading one of emigration.</dd>
+<dt>2170 &mdash; Throughout the decade</dt>
+<dd>Most planetary governments begin compensating the families of those who choose to upload for lost income.</dd>
+<dt>2325 &mdash; January 21</dt>
+<dd>On the 200th anniversary of Secession, the launch project concludes with the launch of the Castor and Pollux launch vehicles.</dd>
+<dt>2346 &mdash; May 28</dt>
+<dd>The Artemesians &mdash; four other uploaded races living on the same construct, an interstellar vehicle that passes near the Solar system, make contact with Castor. Many instances from Castor wind up joining Artemis as the fifth race, while many Artemisians remain behind on Castor, thus creating a second interstellar craft containing a mix of societies.</dd>
+<dt>2408 &mdash; December 31</dt>
+<dd>A series of events leads to an interruption in the functioning of Lagrange lasting thirteen months and ten days. Nearly 1% of instances within the System are irretrievably lost.</dd>
