This alters the time line that Bruce knows about. So the 1989 that happened in the canon now come to pass. Prime Base falls. THe backups fail. THe project is screwed.

On another one of his future trips forward, Bruce changes from one set of realities to another. He is lost in the reality of "his" 1989. Hence the reality we discuss here in this forum of later dates, equipment upgrades, etc.

Another two cents from yours truly.

Exactly! This is one of the things I had talked with Chris about, that each of the various timelines that sprang from Bruce's trips through time. Thus allowing GMs and Players to chose which of the timelines they are playing in.

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
