Hi, everyone -

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question around the Dawn campaign. Sorry for not replying sooner.

A number of you pointed out that the Dawn was less of a clear event than I had thought. Somehow I had always that that before the Dawn it was literally dark, but apparently not.
I think Peter had the first reply pointing this out:

I was going to ask some more questions about what the heck this means - what did they think was going on if they didn't realize the Dawn had happened - but as Peter says:

At this point then I'm tempted by Mike's suggestion:

As a GM it seems like a bit of a wimp-out, but on that basis it's also tempting!
