Default Re: TTRPG Time Travel?

Some settings scream out for the occasional time travel story... because the base IP also occasionally does so... without actually being focused upon time travel the rest of the time...
Examples include Star Trek and Babylon 5. And the Feng Shui RPG, too; It's got a temporal hot war...

There's also the "Flashback into someone else" which allows players to affect the past without being actually present then/there. Think Quantum Leap, tho' it's been done in a couple of late night anthology shows, too. And the variation, done in Trek DS9 Past Tense, the protagonists are part of the history, and ST TOS in All Our Yesterdays, of an entire society making one-way trips into the past.
