Given the Timescape has existed online for decades, there's a natural desire to search for information about it in places Matt used to discuss it (RPG Forums, Obsidian Portal, Squaremans). These sources are unreliable and reflect an older incarnation of the Timescape than this Wiki covers. Do not go searching for them. Sources for this wiki should only include things published since MCDM Productions founding. | Given the Timescape has existed online for decades, there's a natural desire to search for information about it in places Matt used to discuss it (RPG Forums, Obsidian Portal, Squaremans).

===The New Recruit=== | |||
Around the time MCDM was created, Matt released a pdf titled: ''The New Recruit''. This document gave a detailed description of various regions of Orden and the Timescape, and proved to be a bedrock for the community to build up their understanding of the setting. The pdf was originally distributed to players for Matt's D&D games, but was later released to the public when their Actual Play, the Chain of Acheron aired to help give viewers context. | |||
This document was later removed from both Squaremans and MCDM Productions websites, as it was largely written 20+ years ago and doesn't reflect the modern Timescape setting.{{Quote|text=Yeah I'd say that stuff [the New Recruit] is like 82% accurate, but where it's wrong it's wrong because it uses language I wouldn't use now, or references (or...just IS) because of some core 3E or 4E design I felt the world needed to reflect.|sign=Matthew Colville}} | |||
As such, it is not a valid source for this wiki. |
