I've just noticed that the 'official' start date for DH is 815.M41, a bit earlier than the 999.M41 we've been looking at thus far. Not that it really matters that much - actually I tend to prefer to not stick too close to established conventions. So we're sticking with our start date...sort of...because I'm contemplating moving it a few years back...to 993 or 994...something like that. I want the turn of the millennium to be a moment of anticipation and dread, and we need a bit more time to prepare for that. Shouldn't matter much; all dates and such will just get shifted a few years - I'll let you know once it's been finalized.
