 ====== Timeline of Gotham ======
-Dave,
+Over fifty years, Gotham's original flaws of neglect and greed tear the fabric of the city apart to expose its dark, rotten core
-Let's use this page to create a [[Microscope]]-Generated timeline.  Each bullet point would represent a [[PERIOD]] card, with sub-points to represent how they may be modified by an [[EVENT]] or [[SCENE]].
