By my understanding, time *does* have meaning in the Hunting Grounds, 
otherwise the pact of the Old Ones would be pretty meaningless, and as soon 
as the Reckoners were freed, they would pour out in all times, rather than 
just from 1863 onwards etc. So that kind of puts one stumbling block in your 
way.

Don't see why not. This could also get around your original problem (see #1) 
as well. There's no reason why you couldn't find multiple earth-clones from 
the hunting grounds, each at a different stage in human history, so you can 
have your Romans, your Steampunks, etc, all from different worlds.

No, there's Ghost Rock on Banshee (LC) as well, and at least a hint that not 
only the Reckoners have a hand in it too, so feel free to put it anywhere. 
It could be interesting to see what effect GR has on a fantasy world 
populated with Dwarves, Elves et al.

>4.) Are there plans (by such PEGInc guys) for the hunting grounds
>smashing my setting from the start?

Yep - there is a Hunting Grounds sourcebook designed to provide a way to 
take players from any of the three settings to any of the others (very Feng 
Shui netherworldsish I think) but this doesn't spoil your campaign, it'll 
just enhance it. Besides, without checking the release schedule, off the top 
of my head I think that book is about a year away, but you would have to 
check.

Hmm.. I don't have my books in front of me, but I think it was around the 
end of the Dark Ages/Medieval times. Someone else will know better than 
me... guys?

It's alright. PEG don't mind :-)

by ripping the wings off of live rabbits. Ah ha! You didn't
know rabbits had wings, did you? And of course they don't,
until Bruce has hammered them into their backs with six-
inch nails. A rather simple-minded hobby, but it keeps him
amused.
