Wonder if anyone know of an online resource that has the timeline with corrosponding books with it for easy reference?

I'm currently in a game that takes place in 2053 and I just want get an idea of what things my character would know and what has happened yet.

I have a good idea myself, but I'd like to have the timeline handy to show my GM and other players.

Muchos gracias, amigos!

Well, the best place to start is probably the Dumpshock Timeline, which is rather nicely annotated and searchable.

A few specific timelines are also on Ancient History's site if you exhaust the other one.

Unfortunately, neither is really updated to cover the era from late SR3 to the start of SR4. But, since you mentioned that you were 'running in the 2030's, you should be covered.

Gurth's Shadowrun Sourcebook Dates page. Mind you that only goes from 2051 to 2060 so it's probably a little late for you.

I knew of Ancients bu was not aware of the other 2.

Thanks for the heads up, it adds variety in my life, almost a good as having multiple girlfriends.

Gurth's site is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, everyone.
