R178: The U.S. National CONTINUUM Championship. The CONTINUUM time travel RPG has earned, since its inception in the 1990s, critical praise and a core of loyal followers. Called "unusual" by the Sci-Fi Channel, and "unique and painfully satisfying" and "very cool" by player-reviewers on Amazon.com, CONTINUUM has broken new ground by logically solving every time travel conundrum, and actually made a civilization of time travellers outrageously playable. Players will be able to play the same character through three ranks of Span - growing from novices who are limited to a year's worth of travelling time, to ones who can travel a century in a single thought. The challenges will be commensurate with each rank of Span - Span Ones will have domestic villains and each other to watch out for. Span Two prefinalists will have to meet the goals of their time-travel Fraternities while not messing up their rival players' goals! And at last, the finalists will face the responsibilities of Span Threes who answer the call to battle in a last round so deadly serious thatŠ further information is not available here.
