Oh, I agree there with you, no question. :)

Ross' notes are, well, notes, more than anything else, and my timeline is specifically done for my game.

The reason why I usually recommend them, though, is that they are print-formatted, free resources that had
the goal to reconcile the many incoherences that the long run on BM by different authors brought with itself.

Now, about them being specifically correct, or in accordance to canon, that is another matter... :)

Ahem, "copy & paste" is the key here, ahem.

Really, what we need are timelines with footnotes. After all, at this point it's a scholarly activity and not just some guy doing a timeline for a homebrewed campaign.

I'm not enough of a Blackmoor scholar to be able to pick up on some of the minutia errors and for me it would require a lot of reading just to get "up to speed" (even if my memory was strong enough for me to retain all of the data) so maybe that helps to explain why I lilke the older stuff better. Less to know! :P
