Can we agree on this?

Based on the fact every edition has a different timeline the only version acceptable to the powers that be would match the current edition. Otherwise the variations would require too many different sections of the rules covering each eventuality.

Personally I am covered (pre publication edition myself) by the original although as a player only I never picked up any modules so as not to spoil the fun. Pity as I was in touch with the designers I could have probably gotten autographed ones.
