David Ross' work is indeed outstanding. If you compare Ross' timeline with the one in the D20 sourcebook, you will see that even Ross' typos are carried over... .
I really need to buy one of those.
Okay, got the 4e Campaign Sourcebook and the d20 softcover Players Guide together for the ridiculously low total cost of less than $12.00 from Troll and Toad.
Man alive Havard, you were'nt kidding about them copying Ross's timeline. Its abridged and some stuff added but even the math and spelling mistakes and unsourced stuff like the battle of "Lake Berne" is in there, at a very inconvenient date, but I'll make it work.
One thing particularly annoying is they copied over Ross speculation that "the earldom of Vestfold eliminated" in 1001. I know that Ross was probably thinking that if there's a co-regent running Vestfold there must not be an earldom, but that's nonsense. The "regents" must have all had royal titles, that wouldn't have disappeared just because they formed a council. There certainly is not anything in GoPD (the only source Ross sites) to suggest that titles have been stripped, quite the opposite in fact.
Maybe I can think of something to make it workable....
