Media Timeline

This is an index for the SRU’s “media timeline”, which chronicles every real world entity that has ever been attested in the Scream Roleplay Universe. This includes pop culture references, historical figures, and brands, but not historical events, which can be found in the Master Timeline.

This information has been segmented from the main timeline index to avoid cluttering up the presentation of in-universe information. For example, it can be jarring to read about all the murders and infidelity interspersed with the origin story of Bugles, or the release of the Macarena. Additionally, some of these entries are for entities referenced in the meta-text, such as the various qualities Fitz Smith “borrows” from Dark Shadows‘ Roger Collins, so it only makes sense that those more behind the scenes references are kept in a separate list.

Please note, as well, that, much like the rest of the SRU, this timeline is under constant construction. At present, there are fairly comprehensive attestations for Volume I of the Story so Far through about Volume II- Chapter 6, and less comprehensive attestations from Vol. II- Chapter 7 through Volume III. So, as ever, bear with us.

Due to the enormous scope of this timeline, it has been broken down into sections based on historical periods.

Ancient – Medieval: Spans the period c.1000 BC – 14th Century AD.

Early Modern: Spans the late 15th through the end of the 17th Centuries.

19th Century: Spans the years 1800 – 1899.

Progressive Era – World War I: Spans the years 1900 – 1918.

Interwar Period: Spans the years 1919 – August 1939.

World War II: Spans the period September 1939 – 1945.

Baby Boom: Spans the years 1946 – 1964.

Social Revolution: Spans the years 1965 – 1979.

Generation of Excess: Spans the years 1980 – 1999.
