Weird Wars does take place in a *loosely* continguous universe. We have an 
adventure in mind down the road that would take you through several eras, in 
fact (as differnet characters--not time travel). But we don't want the grand 
storyline that DEadlands has--we want to leave it more open for you to do a 
Nazis invade America game, or What if the South won, or whatever.
