So, the stuff on TN, probably won't require you to know the metaplot or care. If it does, it should explicitly note what info you need to use it, along with some options for using it with different setups.

If/when we get to colonies, well, most of them don't enter the picture until after a certain date, so that date becomes the default year for that colony, and all info outside of story stuff is set in that year.

Ideally, this should minimize confusion, maximize usefulness and let people actually PLAY and have fun.

Well, I went ahead and edited the post just in case. I mean, I think mentioning that is like telling me (born in '76) that Kennedy was assassinated. To anyone coming into the story line now it will have been already done and thus will likely appear in any book on the subject. I mean, people in this thread have already mentioned the Earth invasion, and from the perspective of Blitz it's already happened. And [fnord] assassination happens well before that.
